These include building a border wall, utilizing Title 42 to expel migrants swiftly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and establishing the Migrant Protection Protocol, which requires asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their claims are processed. The resolution posits that the cancellation or narrowing of these policies under Biden has resulted in a noticeable increase in illegal immigration, posing risks to both national security and public safety.
