This Senate Concurrent Resolution requests that the U. S. Congress and the President take urgent action to enact comprehensive national immigration reform legislation. For at least 135 years, the courts have found immigration to be a clear federal responsibility, based on an 1875 U. S. Supreme Court ruling in the wake of actions by a number of the states to pass their own immigration laws. Because of a failure by the Congress and by successive administrations in Washington to update and modernize U. S. immigration policy, because of an increasing incidence of undocumented and/or illegal immigrants in recent decades and other factors, U. S. immigration policy is now in critical need of revision. Individual states, frustrated by continued federal inaction, are now beginning to enact what could quickly become a patchwork of state laws, often with conflicting provisions, that could further complicate an already confusing situation.

Urging The Federal Government To Enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform And To More Fully Assert Its Constitutional Authority To Enforce Laws Governing Immigration And Naturalization.
