RES. 1002 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 24, 2022 Mr. Jackson (for himself, Mr. Banks , Mr. Babin , Mr. Weber of Texas , Mr. Williams of Texas , Mr. Donalds , Mr. Cawthorn , Ms. Herrell , Mr. Posey , Mr. Rodney Davis of Illinois , Mrs. Lesko , Mr. Palazzo , Mr. Steube , Mr. Perry , Mr. Carl , Mr. Duncan , Mr. Gibbs , Mr. Grothman , Mr. Smith of Missouri , Mr. Wilson of South Carolina , Ms. Tenney , Mr. Meuser , Mr. Garcia of California , Ms. Van Duyne , Mr. Brooks , Mr. Fallon , and Mr. Garbarino ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary , and in addition to the Committees on Homeland Security , Ways and Means , and Foreign Affairs , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 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 was named Border Czar in charge of leading efforts to stem migration across the United States-Mexico border; Whereas Vice President Harris has visited the southern border once since President Biden appointed her to lead efforts 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 two million migrants illegally crossed our southern border in the fiscal year 2021; Whereas U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a 1,066 percent increase in fentanyl seized at eight southern Texas ports during fiscal year 2021 under President Biden; Whereas the Biden administration has allowed for mass migration 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 underfunded and lacks resources needed due to Vice President Harris’s refusal to address the issues: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives urges the Biden administration to— (1) remove Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of any executive branch task force or strategy relating to immigration; (2) appoint an experienced and competent leader to replace Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of the Biden administration’s strategy to address the root causes of migration; (3) recognize that border security is national security; (4) immediately provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection with the adequate support and resources to do their job effectively and adequately; (5) take action to protect American communities from fentanyl; and (6) stop allowing politics in Washington to cloud their judgment regarding policies implemented at the southern border.
