tv_txt: IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 768 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES November 3, 2021 Mrs. Lesko (for herself, Mr. Duncan , Mr. Rouzer , Mr. Upton , Mr. Weber of Texas , Mr. Gimenez , Mr. Posey , Mr. Graves of Louisiana , Mr. Griffith , Mr. Rice of South Carolina , Mr. Stauber , Mr. Van Drew , Ms. Herrell , Mr. Austin Scott of Georgia , Mr. Moolenaar , Mr. Gibbs , and Mrs. Miller of Illinois ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Condemning the Biden administration for incentivizing illegal immigration by compensating illegal migrants who cross the southern border illegally and for stopping construction on the southern border wall and failing to enforce Migrant Protection Protocols.

Whereas the Biden administration is considering payments to illegal migrants that could amount to $1,000,000 a family or up to $450,000 for each migrant; Whereas the Biden administration’s failed border policies have created the worst border crisis in 30 years; Whereas U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have arrested more than 1,700,000 illegal migrants along the southern border during the 2021 fiscal year; Whereas at least 160,000 illegal migrants have been released into the United States and underage illegal migrants are being flown secretly into small airports to be resettled across America; and Whereas the Biden administration has continued to incentivize illegal immigration with these proposed payments and by dissolving previous border policies like Migrant Protection Protocols and adequately enforcing title 42 expulsions: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns the Biden administration for incentivizing illegal immigration by compensating illegal migrants who cross the southern border illegally; and (2) condemns the Biden administration for stopping construction on the southern border wall and failing to enforce Migrant Protection Protocols.
