                               RESOLUTION


 
Commending the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection for 
  their service and sacrifice amidst a growing crisis at the southern 
                                border.

Whereas there is a growing humanitarian and national security crisis at the 
        southern border;
Whereas the United States is experiencing the highest number of illegal 
        crossings in 15 years, 171,000 of which occurred in March 2021 alone;
Whereas border facilities are at 1,700-percent capacity;
Whereas two Yemeni terrorists on the Federal no-fly list were recently 
        apprehended while trying to breach the southern border; and
Whereas the Biden Administration and Vice President Harris have refused to 
        acknowledge this crisis and take the necessary steps to secure the 
        border, putting enormous strain on U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
        agents: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the men and women of the U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection--
            (1) are deserving of recognition for their tireless work to 
        defend American sovereignty, uphold law and order, and mitigate 
        the humanitarian and national security threat unfolding at the 
        southern border;
            (2) deserve gratitude for their service, integrity, and 
        steadfast commitment to fulfill the duties in which they are 
        entrusted; and
            (3) should be commended for their sacrifice while being 
        away from their families and putting their lives at risk to 
        protect our communities.
                                 <all>
