Whereas thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of 
opportunity, we’re a Nation forever young, forever burst-
ing with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting 
edge, always leading the world to the next frontier; 
Whereas if we ever closed the door to new Americans, our 
leadership in the world would soon be lost; 
Whereas it is bold men and women, yearning for freedom and 
opportunity, who leave their homelands and come to a 
new country to start their lives over, believing in the 
American dream, and over and over making it come true 
for themselves, for their children, and for others; 
Whereas immigrants give more than they receive—they labor 
and succeed, often as entrepreneurs, but their greatest 
contribution is more than economic, because they under-
stand in a special way how glorious it is to be an Amer-
ican; and 
Whereas they renew our pride and gratitude in the United 
States, the greatest, freest Nation in the world—the last, 
best hope of men and women on Earth: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Condemning White Su-
premacist Terrorism and the Anti-immigrant Rhetoric 
that Inspires It Resolution’’. 
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
That the House of Representatives— 
(1) believes that immigration makes the United 
States stronger;

(2) is committed to keeping the United States 
open to those lawfully seeking refuge and asylum 
from violence and oppression and a chance to live 
the American dream, no matter their race, faith, or 
country of origin; 
(3) recognizes that the Federal Government has 
a duty to secure our borders, and that patriotic 
Americans can disagree about the best way to do so, 
within the boundaries set by our Constitution, our 
laws, and our ideals as a Nation of immigrants; 
(4) rejects the hateful propaganda of White su-
premacist terrorists, including those who committed 
the massacres of Jewish people at Pittsburgh’s Tree 
of Life synagogue building and of Muslims in 
Christchurch, New Zealand, that immigrants to our 
country or to other countries are ‘‘invaders’’ or that 
they pose any intrinsic threat to society; 
(5) condemns political leaders who legitimize 
White supremacist ideology by echoing claims of an 
immigrant invasion, by falsely alleging that our fel-
low Americans who are immigrants and refugees 
commit more crimes or contribute less to our society 
than native born citizens, or by spreading conspiracy 
theories about the law enforcement and intelligence 
agencies seeking to protect every American;

(6) encourages the men and women of the Jus-
tice Department, including the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, the Department of Homeland Secu-
rity, and State and local law enforcement agencies, 
to enhance their efforts so that the threat posed by 
domestic terrorism and extremist ideology is met 
with the same seriousness and resolve as the threat 
posed by terrorist groups based outside the United 
States; and 
(7) urges social media companies to take addi-
tional steps to remove extremist content from their 
platforms, and urges them to reevaluate how they 
deliver information, including algorithms that drive 
users towards sensational content and ideological ex-
tremes.
