A resolution strongly condemning the Biden administration and its "border czar", Kamala Harris, for failing to secure the United States border.
Impact
If passed, SR779 would position the Senate as publicly opposing the current administration’s border policy. The resolution emphasizes the need for elected officials who recognize the severity of the situation and are committed to enacting policies that effectively address immigration challenges. The intent of the resolution is to apply pressure on the administration for a course correction in its immigration strategy, potentially influencing future legislative initiatives aimed at reforming immigration policy and border security measures.
Summary
SR779 is a resolution introduced in the Senate that strongly condemns the Biden administration and Vice President Kamala Harris for their handling of border security. The resolution asserts that the current strategies employed have not only failed to secure the United States’ southern border but have also significantly increased the number of illegal immigrant encounters. Data cited within the resolution highlights that under the Biden administration, the total of illegal immigrant encounters nationwide has exceeded 9.7 million, with over 2 million individuals identified as 'gotaways' who eluded the Border Patrol authorities.
Contention
The resolution comes at a time of heightened concerns over national security, citing instances of illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories allegedly causing harm to American citizens. Critics of the Biden administration's immigration policies argue that current approaches are not only failing to deter unauthorized crossings but also endangering public safety. The resolution reflects a significant divide in Congress over immigration policy, with proponents pushing for stricter measures and opponents advocating for comprehensive immigration reform that addresses underlying causes of migration.
