                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that amnesty should not be granted to 
     individuals who are in the United States, or its territories, 
                               illegally.

Whereas in 2000, there were an estimated 8,000,000 illegal aliens living in the 
        United States according to the Bureau of the Census;
Whereas the granting of amnesty under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 
        1986 has not curtailed the flow of illegal aliens to the United States;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would reward those who break the laws 
        of the United States;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would demonstrate that the United 
        States is not committed to upholding and enforcing its laws;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens could encourage additional illegal 
        immigration;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would undermine the process of legal 
        immigration into the United States;
Whereas it is vital to national security to ensure the integrity of the Nation's 
        borders;
Whereas the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, further demonstrated the 
        necessity of securing the Nation's borders; and
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would subvert the efforts of the 
        Border Patrol, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Customs 
        Service, the Coast Guard, and other agencies that work to secure the 
        Nation's borders: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that amnesty should not be granted to 
individuals who are in the United States, or its territories, 
illegally.
