Bill Summary
This Assembly Resolution calls for Congress to pass and the President to enforce comprehensive immigration reform legislation. These new federal laws are needed to protect the nation from terrorists and criminals who are entering our country illegally. This Assembly Resolution was prompted in response to two horrific crimes that were perpetrated in Ocean County. In one of the crimes, two children were beaten and murdered in Stafford Borough and their mother was kidnapped. The other crime involved the sexual assault of a minor on Long Beach Island. In both cases, undocumented, illegal immigrants from Mexico were charged. This Assembly Resolution asks Congress to enact legislation that will expedite the removal of illegal aliens from our country, increase criminal sentences and fines for alien smuggling, enhance penalties for persons committing offenses while armed, permit the use of the Army and Air Force to secure the border, and impose penalties on countries that do not accept return of nationals. Duly authenticated copies of this Assembly resolution would be transmitted to the President and Vice President of the United States, the Majority and Minority Leader of the United States Senate, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, every member of Congress elected from this State and to the Ambassador of Mexico to the United States.
AI Summary
This Assembly Resolution calls on the President and Congress to take immediate action on comprehensive immigration reform, prompted by two violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants in Ocean County, New Jersey. The resolution requests that Congress enact legislation to secure U.S. borders, expedite the removal of illegal aliens, increase criminal penalties for alien smuggling and offenses committed by armed individuals, and allow military forces to help secure the border. Additionally, it urges the President to enforce current immigration laws strictly and warns Mexico that encouraging illegal immigration could be viewed as interference with domestic laws. The resolution specifically highlights the federal government's primary duty to protect U.S. citizens and lawful residents from potential threats, and recommends imposing penalties on countries that do not accept the return of their nationals. The document would be formally transmitted to key federal government officials and the Mexican Ambassador to the United States, demonstrating the state's serious concern about immigration enforcement and national security.
