Summary of Bill HRES 1002

Bill 117 H.Res. 1002 is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives expressing the sense that Vice President Kamala Harris should be removed from her position as the head of the Biden administration's strategy to address the root causes of migration. The resolution does not have the force of law, but serves as a statement of the House's opinion on the matter.

The resolution argues that Vice President Harris has not effectively addressed the root causes of migration, particularly from Central America, since being appointed to lead the administration's efforts in this area. It criticizes her for not visiting the southern border to witness the situation firsthand and for not taking sufficient action to address the underlying issues driving migration.

Supporters of the resolution believe that a change in leadership is necessary to effectively address the root causes of migration and improve the situation at the border. They argue that Vice President Harris has not shown the necessary commitment or competence to lead these efforts successfully. Opponents of the resolution argue that Vice President Harris has only been in her role for a short time and should be given more time to implement her strategies and make a positive impact. They believe that removing her from this position would be premature and could disrupt ongoing efforts to address the root causes of migration. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 1002 reflects the ongoing debate and concerns surrounding Vice President Harris's leadership on immigration issues and highlights the differing opinions within the House of Representatives on how best to address the root causes of migration.
