Calling on the President to sign H.R. 2 of the 118th Congress, the Secure the Border Act of 2023.

House Concurrent Resolution 53 is a formal statement from Congress calling on the President to sign the "Secure the Border Act of 2023" (H.R. 2) into law should it pass the Senate. The underlying legislation aims to increase border security by resuming construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, and restricting asylum eligibility. For citizens, the resolution supports a policy shift that would require all employers to use the federal E-Verify system to confirm the legal work status of new employees and would limit the use of humanitarian parole for non-citizens entering the country.
