RESOLUTION 
Denouncing the Biden administration’s immigration policies. 
Whereas President Joe Biden and Secretary of Homeland Se-
curity Alejandro Mayorkas have created the worst border 
security crisis in the Nation’s history; 
Whereas President Biden, beginning on day one of his admin-
istration, systematically dismantled effective border secu-
rity measures and interior immigration enforcement; 
Whereas the Biden administration’s open-borders policies 
have incentivized 9,500,000 illegal aliens from all around 
the world, including criminal aliens and suspected terror-
ists, to arrive at the southwest border;

•HRES 1112 IH 
Whereas the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates that 
the Secretary of Homeland Security detain, during re-
moval proceedings, aliens who arrive at the border and 
are found to be inadmissible; 
Whereas the Biden administration has purposely violated 
United States immigration law by refusing to detain in-
admissible aliens arriving at the border; 
Whereas the Biden administration’s purposeful violation of 
the mandatory detention statutes of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act has resulted in the mass release of mil-
lions of illegal aliens into United States communities; 
Whereas the Biden administration could expand expedited re-
moval to more quickly remove illegal aliens at the border 
and screen more illegal aliens for asylum eligibility in-
stead of mass releasing them into the United States; 
Whereas, when implemented by the Trump administration, 
the Migrant Protection Protocols helped reduce illegal 
immigration; 
Whereas, despite its effectiveness and despite the advice of 
career Department of Homeland Security officials not to 
do so, the Biden administration terminated the Migrant 
Protection Protocols; 
Whereas the Biden administration has purposely violated 
United States immigration law by abusing discretionary 
case-by-case and other parole authorities to mass parole 
illegal aliens who would otherwise have no legal basis to 
enter and remain in the United States; 
Whereas the Biden administration issued multiple memo-
randa limiting circumstances under which immigration 
enforcement actions can be taken against illegal aliens;

•HRES 1112 IH 
Whereas these memoranda are the basis for lower numbers 
of criminal alien removals from the United States; 
Whereas additional criminal aliens remain on American 
streets, free to offend and victimize more Americans, be-
cause of the Biden administration’s lack of immigration 
enforcement; 
Whereas these memoranda are the basis for policies directing 
Federal Government attorneys in immigration court to 
not pursue removal cases against illegal aliens; 
Whereas the Biden administration’s open-borders policies sig-
nal to illegal aliens that when they come to the United 
States they will be released and will not be removed; 
Whereas the Biden administration’s open-borders policies en-
courage illegal aliens to come to the United States and 
allow illegal and other criminal aliens to remain in the 
country; 
Whereas the illegal alien who viciously allegedly murdered 22- 
year-old Athens, Georgia, nursing student Laken Riley is 
a beneficiary of the Biden administration’s open-borders 
policies; 
Whereas, during the State of the Union speech, President 
Biden described Laken Riley’s illegal alien alleged mur-
derer as ‘‘an illegal’’; 
Whereas, two days later, after pressure from open-borders 
advocates, President Biden noted in a television interview 
that he felt ‘‘regret’’ for using the word ‘‘illegal’’ to de-
scribe Laken Riley’s illegal alien alleged murderer; 
Whereas, during that interview, President Biden claimed that 
illegal aliens like Laken Riley’s alleged murderer ‘‘built 
the country’’;

•HRES 1112 IH 
Whereas Laken Riley’s illegal alien alleged murderer should 
not have been released by the Biden administration into 
the United States; 
Whereas Laken Riley’s illegal alien alleged murderer should 
have been arrested and detained by U.S. Immigration 
and Customs Enforcement after he committed crimes in 
the United States; and 
Whereas Laken Riley’s illegal alien alleged murderer is but 
one of countless illegal alien criminals and terrorists the 
Biden administration has released into the United States: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) affirms the Biden administration has taken 
executive actions that created the current border cri-
sis, including— 
(A) ending the Migrant Protection Proto-
cols; 
(B) terminating asylum cooperative agree-
ments with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Sal-
vador; 
(C) abusing parole authority; 
(D) stopping the previous administration’s 
southwest border wall construction; 
(E) issuing memoranda limiting immigra-
tion enforcement; 
(F) removing fewer criminal aliens from 
the United States; and

(G) purposely violating statutes that re-
quire the detention of inadmissible aliens;

too late—if at all; 
(3) condemns the public safety crisis caused by 
the Biden administration’s open-borders policies; 
(4) urges the Biden administration to rescind 
its open-borders policies; and

ment policies that end his administration’s border 
crisis.
