Resolution
Condemning Texas & Florida Republican Governors for Illicit Behavior at Southern Border with Mexico
WHEREAS in order to extend and exacerbate the situation at the border and thereby prevent the Biden Administration from taking any credit for making progress towards a solution, Republicans are blocking the passage of any immigration legislation and attempting to impeach Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas with fabricated accusations; and
WHEREAS the Florida Governor is now deploying Florida’s National Guard to stand with Texas’ National Guard and other state officers to arrest migrants, instead of turning them over to Border Patrol where their asylum claims can be processed in accordance with US and international laws;
WHEREAS the National Democratic Party currently supports a negotiated two-state solution that ensures Israel’s future as a Jewish and Democratic state with recognized borders and upholds the riht of Palestinians to live in freedom and security in a viable state of their own.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Riverside County Democratic Party opposes these illegal intrusions on Federal authority and jurisdiction by state and National Guard troops and condemns the governors of Florida and Texas for ordering them.
