RESOLUTION
Rejecting any proposal or legislation to financially compensate
individuals crossing our borders illegally.
Whereas the family separation policy described pursuant to Executive Order
13824, entitled ``Affording Congress and Opportunity to Address Family
Separation'', dated June 20, 2018, was ended;
Whereas the U.S. Border Patrol and the Office of Field Operations of the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection have encountered 1.7 million migrants at
the United States southern border in fiscal year 2021;
Whereas the Border Patrol apprehended 1.66 million immigrants at our southern
border in fiscal year 2021;
Whereas this is the highest number of apprehensions ever recorded;
Whereas the record-high levels of illegal immigration have overwhelmed our
borders and directly impacted border States; and
Whereas it is not the policy of the House of Representatives to financially
compensate illegal immigrants for crossing the border: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives rejects any proposal or
legislation to financially compensate individuals crossing our borders
illegally.
