Bill > HRes50

This resolution recognizes the constitutional authority of border states to protect themselves from what they characterize as an ongoing invasion, specifically focusing on the southern border of the United States. The document presents a detailed critique of the Biden administration's border policies, highlighting record-breaking migrant apprehensions, increased criminal activities by illegal immigrants, drug trafficking, and the financial burden on border states. It asserts that states like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California have the sovereign right under Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution to exclude individuals who do not have legal permission to be in their territory and to defend themselves against what the resolution describes as an "imminent danger" posed by paramilitary cartels, terrorists, and criminal actors. The resolution formally declares that the federal government has failed in its constitutional duties to protect these states, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, and faithfully execute immigration laws. By doing so, it effectively supports state-level actions to address border security and challenges the current federal immigration enforcement approach.
