RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Vice
President Kamala Harris should be removed from her position as the head
of the Biden administration's strategy to address the root causes of
migration.
Whereas, on March 24, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was named ``Border
Czar'' in charge of leading efforts to stem migration across the United
States-Mexico border;
Whereas Vice President Harris has visited the southern border once since
President Biden appointed her to lead efforts to stem migration across
the United States-Mexico border;
Whereas border security is national security and the ongoing influx of migrants
poses a significant threat to the public health and safety of our
communities;
Whereas, under the Biden administration, a historic number of illegal
immigrants, violent criminals, and deadly drugs have flooded into our
communities through the southern border;
Whereas over two million migrants illegally crossed our southern border in the
fiscal year 2021;
Whereas U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a 1,066 percent
increase in fentanyl seized at eight southern Texas ports during fiscal
year 2021 under President Biden;
Whereas the Biden administration has allowed for mass migration to the United
States by allowing politics to cloud its judgment when assessing
policies;
Whereas our southern border is less safe now than it ever has been; and
Whereas U.S. Customs and Border Protection is underfunded and lacks resources
needed due to Vice President Harris's refusal to address the issues:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the Biden
administration to--
(1) remove Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of any
executive branch task force or strategy relating to
immigration;
(2) appoint an experienced and competent leader to replace
Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of the Biden
administration's strategy to address the root causes of
migration;
(3) recognize that border security is national security;
(4) immediately provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection
with the adequate support and resources to do their job
effectively and adequately;
(5) take action to protect American communities from
fentanyl; and
(6) stop allowing politics in Washington to cloud their
judgment regarding policies implemented at the southern border.
