SRES-779 : Still Just a Bill

This resolution, S. Res. 779, introduced by Senator Blackburn, expresses the Senate's strong condemnation of the Biden administration, specifically Vice President Kamala Harris in her role as "border czar," for what it describes as a failure to secure the United States border. The resolution highlights several key points:

• Criticism of Leadership: It criticizes Vice President Harris's handling of the border situation, citing her delayed visit to the border and alleged lack of communication with Border Patrol leadership.
• Statistical Claims: The resolution presents statistics on illegal immigrant encounters under the Biden administration, alleging a significant increase compared to the previous administration, including the number of "gotaways."
• Security Concerns: It raises concerns about illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories and ties to terrorist groups, citing specific incidents and reports.
• Economic Impact: The resolution asserts that the border crisis is costing the United States billions of dollars annually.
• Policy Condemnation: It blames the Biden administration's policies, particularly the termination of the "Remain in Mexico" program, for exacerbating the situation.
• Resolution Statements: The resolution affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the border crisis and will implement policies to fix it and states that the continuation of the Biden-Harris border policies would be disastrous for the United States and its citizens.
