This Senate resolution expresses the sense that the President of the United States already possesses legal authority under existing law to take immediate and necessary action to secure the southwest border. It highlights concerns about millions of unlawful encounters, thousands of suspected terrorists, and over 120,000 illegal aliens with criminal warrants or convictions at U.S. borders since the start of the current administration. The resolution specifically references sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act , including 235(b)(2)(C), 212(f), and 208(b)(2)(C), as providing broad powers to return certain applicants, suspend entry of aliens, and establish conditions for asylum eligibility. These authorities allow for actions such as immediately returning individuals to contiguous foreign territories and making asylum seekers ineligible if they bypass protection in transit countries. The Senate urges the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security to utilize these statutory authorities to expeditiously implement policies that promote orderly and lawful entry, deter illegal immigration, and protect national security. Recommended actions include immediately removing and returning illegal aliens, reinstating the Migrant Protection Protocols (Remain in Mexico), ending "catch-and-release," and making illegal aliens ineligible for asylum.
