Whereas African Americans from the Southwest continue the

Whereas for more than 150 years, Juneteenth Independence

a national security crisis and is endangering the lives of 
the American people. 
President Biden has presided over the largest influx 
of illegal immigrants in American history, and as evidence 
of his dereliction, the deportation cases pursued by his ad-
ministration are at historic lows. President Biden’s neg-
ligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational 
control of the border to the complete and total control of 
foreign, criminal cartels—putting the lives of American 
citizens in jeopardy. On President Biden’s watch, illegal 
aliens have been processed and released into the interior 
of the country under a mass system of parole, contrary 
to the clear terms of Federal immigration law. Utilizing 
the ‘‘CBP ONE’’ program, the executive branch will re-
lease nearly 40,000 illegal aliens per month into the 
United States. He has failed to uphold the mandatory de-
tention and deportation provisions of immigration laws, 
resulting in the mass entry of inadmissible aliens and the 
continued presence of deportable aliens. Through this 
complete and total dereliction of duty and extreme absence 
in oversight of his own administration’s policies, President 
Biden has allowed more than 1,500,000 illegal immigrants 
to invade the southern border. On Joe Biden’s watch, il-
licit fentanyl has killed more than 100,000 American citi-
zens. In fiscal year 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol

seized more than 9,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern 
border. 
In his failure to uphold the rule of law, President 
Biden has demonstrated that he will neglect his duty to 
execute the office to which he has been entrusted, violating 
his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, 
and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his 
constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the 
United States be faithfully executed. 
Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, war-
rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis-
qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, 
or profit under the United States.
