Bill > HRes1210

This Resolution condemns what it calls the "Biden border crisis," asserting that the Biden administration's policies have led to an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration, including millions of encounters and "gotaways" (individuals who cross the border illegally and evade apprehension), and a rise in dangerous crime and drug-related deaths, citing instances of individuals on terrorist watch lists being apprehended and the influx of fentanyl. It highlights the strain on law enforcement, noting increased calls for defunding the police, low recruitment and morale, and officers facing assaults from illegal immigrants, with specific examples of alleged crimes committed by individuals who entered the country illegally, including murder and sexual assault. The Resolution also points to elected officials in various states and cities declaring states of emergency due to the border situation and sanctuary cities cutting law enforcement budgets, and it expresses sympathy for the stress faced by law enforcement officers due to a perceived lack of support and respect.
