Bill > HRes647

This resolution condemns remarks made by Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois, who stated "I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American," by formally rebuking her comments and questioning her commitment to representing her American constituents. The resolution highlights that members of Congress are elected to represent their district's interests in the United States and are required to take an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the House of Representatives officially condemns what it characterizes as "anti-American comments," affirms its commitment to prioritizing American citizens' interests over those of foreign nations, and reaffirms its dedication to protecting the safety, prosperity, and overall well-being of the American people. The resolution suggests that Representative Ramirez's statement raises doubts about her allegiance to her constituents and the United States by seemingly prioritizing her connection to Guatemala.
