Bill > SR104

This Resolution expresses support for enhanced border security to combat illegal immigration and smuggling, specifically condemning President Biden's past actions that halted border wall construction and national emergency declarations, while also commending the efforts of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds in their border security initiatives. It further urges the U.S. Congress to close the southern border and resume funding and construction of the border wall, advocating for the reinstatement of federal policies like Executive Order 13768 and Presidential Proclamation 9844, which were in place prior to President Biden's administration. The resolution highlights concerns about increased illicit fentanyl smuggling across the southern border, citing significant increases in seizures by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and frames these issues as failures of the federal government to protect national sovereignty and the well-being of its citizens.
