Bill Summary
This resolution urges Congress and the President to enact immigration policies that better serve the national interest. Each nation has the sovereign right to determine its own immigration policies, and the United States government has a responsibility to its citizens to end illegal immigration. According to United States Customs and Border Protection, in fiscal year 2023, there was a record-breaking number of 3.2 million encounters with illegal aliens at our borders nationwide, surpassing the previous record-breaking number of 2.7 million encounters in fiscal year 2022. Illegal immigration into the United States is threatening America's foundation, and Congress as well as the President should immediately enact immigration policies that better serve the national interest.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the United States Congress and President to take immediate action on immigration policy by enacting comprehensive reforms that better serve national interests. The resolution highlights significant concerns about illegal immigration, citing U.S. Customs and Border Protection data showing 3.2 million border encounters in fiscal year 2023 and an estimated 16.8 million illegal immigrants in the country as of 2023, with New Jersey hosting approximately 755,000 of those immigrants. Specifically, the resolution requests that Congress develop comprehensive immigration reform legislation and that the President unequivocally enforce current immigration laws. The underlying rationale is that the federal government's primary duty is to ensure citizen safety by securing borders and enforcing the rule of law, and that each nation has a sovereign right to determine its own immigration policies. The resolution calls for copies of this request to be transmitted to key federal government officials, including the President, Vice President, Senate and House leadership, and New Jersey's congressional representatives.
