Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution expresses strong disapproval of the Biden administration's immigration policies and Vice President Kamala Harris's role in addressing border security issues. The resolution contends that Harris, assigned as the administration's "border czar" to address root causes of illegal immigration, failed to engage meaningfully with border security officials and that immigration enforcement has been inadequate under the Biden-Harris administration. It cites statistics including over 9.7 million total immigrant encounters since 2021, with supporters claiming this represents a significant increase compared to the previous administration and noting concerns about encounters involving individuals with criminal histories or suspected terrorist ties. The resolution further asserts that the administration's immigration policies have cost approximately $150.7 billion annually and specifically criticizes the ending of the "Remain in Mexico" program. The resolution calls on the Senate to condemn the administration's border policies and affirm that elected officials should prioritize securing the border.
