AI Summary
- Florida House Memorial urging the Federal Government to secure the southern border of the United States and fix the legal immigration system
- Cites CBP data showing 183,503 alien encounters at the southwest border in July 2023 (a 357% increase over July 2018), 231,529 encounters in October 2023, and over 7 million encounters since January 2020
- Criticizes the Biden Administration's expansion of the CBP One mobile application, suspension of border wall construction, and the expiration of the Title 42 policy, which the memorial argues have worsened illegal crossings
- Asserts that unauthorized border crossings have burdened states including Florida with increased violent crime, gang activity, drug trafficking (particularly fentanyl), human trafficking, and terrorism threats
- Directs the Florida Secretary of State to send copies of the memorial to the U.S. President, leaders of both chambers of Congress, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and all members of Florida's congressional delegation
