AI Summary
- Georgia Senate resolution, adopted by the Senate, urging the President and U.S. Congress to secure America's borders and reject any repeat of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which legalized approximately 3 million illegal aliens and is characterized as having encouraged further illegal immigration.
- Cites nearly 15 million unemployed Americans nationwide and estimates of 11–20 million illegal aliens in the United States, with 450,000 to 1 million residing in Georgia.
- Asserts that illegal immigration places a heavy financial burden on Georgia's budget through federally mandated benefits and services and negatively impacts the state's economy, education, health care, criminal justice, and social services.
- Calls for immigration reform founded on enforcement and border security rather than amnesty, arguing that strict enforcement of existing immigration laws is the effective solution to reducing illegal immigration.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to each member of Georgia's congressional delegation and the President of the United States.
