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

forts 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 4,500,000 migrants have illegally crossed our 
southern border since January 2021; 
Whereas U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized over 
14,700 pounds of illicit fentanyl in fiscal year 2022, 
enough to kill over 3,000,000,000 people; 
Whereas, in the first 5 months of fiscal year 2023, 69 people 
whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were en-
countered at the southern border, totaling more than fis-
cal years 2017 through 2021 combined; 
Whereas the Biden administration has allowed for mass mi-
gration 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 overwhelmed 
and lacks resources needed due to Vice President Har-
ris’s refusal to address the issues: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges 
the Biden administration to—
