CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT
As introduced.
An Assembly Resolution opposing the Biden administration's policies regarding the crisis on the United States-Mexico border.
Whereas, Securing our borders is one of the federal government's most essential responsibilities in ensuring our national security and public safety as well as our health and financial well-being; and
Whereas, The policies of the Trump Administration had successfully secured our nation's southern border with Mexico including, but not limited to, building the Wall; using Title 42 public health authority to immediately expel border crossers during the COVID-19 pandemic; instituting the Migrant Protection Protocol, also commonly known as the "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers; and entering the Safe Third-Country Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua; and
Whereas, The Biden administration immediately canceled or dramatically narrowed most of the Trump administration's successful border policies, leading directly and predictably to the present ongoing crisis at our border; and
Whereas, More than a hundred thousand illegal aliens continue to be apprehended at the border each month, and untold numbers more likely cross without being apprehended; and
Whereas, Persons crossing the border have rapidly migrated to all corners of the United States and are often flown or bussed at taxpayer expense despite having unlawfully entered the country without the right to be lawfully present; and
Whereas, Known terrorists and criminal gang members have been among those apprehended after illegally crossing the border; and
Whereas, The present border crisis has been a boon to the Mexican drug cartels in their chief businesses of both human trafficking and drug trafficking; and
Whereas, It is the responsibility of President Biden and Congress to protect the safety of the public by preserving the integrity of our borders and measures to control immigration rather than serving political agendas; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. This House opposes the Biden administration's policies regarding the border crisis on the United States-Mexico border and strongly urges President Biden to reinstate all of the policies that had successfully secured our nation's southern border under the prior administration.
2. Copies of this resolution, as filed with the Secretary of State, shall be transmitted by the Clerk of the General Assembly to the Office of the President of the United States, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the United State Senate, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, and every member of Congress from this State.
STATEMENT
This Assembly resolution opposes the Biden administration's policies regarding the border crisis on the United States-Mexico border and strongly urges President Biden to reinstate all of the policies that had successfully secured our nation's southern border under the prior administration.
Securing our borders is one of the federal government's most essential responsibilities in ensuring our national security and public safety as well as our health and financial well-being. The policies of the Trump Administration had successfully secured our nation's southern border with Mexico including, but not limited to: building the Wall; using Title 42 public health authority to immediately expel border crossers during the COVID-19 pandemic; instituting the Migrant Protection Protocol, also commonly known as the "remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers; and entering the Safe Third-Country Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. It is the responsibility of President Biden and Congress to protect the safety of the public by preserving the integrity of our borders and measures to control immigration as opposed to serving political agendas.
