This\u2063 resolution comes in response to growing concerns about terrorist activity, particularly following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-reject-measure-to-provide-funds-for-israels-iron-dome-block-attempts-to-sanction-hamas-reports\/\" title=\"Democrats Reject Measure To Provide Funds For Israel\u2019s Iron Dome, Block Attempts To Sanction Hamas: Reports\">recent terrorist attacks<\/a> \u200dby Hamas in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 resolution,\u2062 put forth by Republicans Mike Kelly\u200c of Pennsylvania and Ryan Zinke \u2064of \u200bMontana, emphasizes \u2063the\u2064 need\u200b to address the threat posed by known or suspected terrorists entering the United States\u200c through the northern \u200cborder. It specifically\u200c calls \u200don Secretary Mayorkas to implement measures that will better secure\u2063 this border.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the \u2064alarming \u200bstatistics, the\u200b resolution points\u2064 out that encounters with \u2063known\u2064 or suspected terrorists along\u200c the northern \u200bborder have increased \u2063by 38 percent\u2062 from the \u2064previous fiscal\u2064 year and a staggering 685 percent from two years \u2062ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Longest Continuous Border in the World<\/h3>\n<p>According\u2063 to Congressman Kelly, \u200cthe majority of \u200csuspected\u2063 terrorists apprehended this\u200d year \u200bhave crossed between\u200c the\u200b U.S. and Canada. \u2062This border is \u200dthe longest\u2064 continuous border between two countries globally, making\u200b it a critical area to focus \u2064on for enhanced security \u200cmeasures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The resolution also highlights the significant increase\u2062 in encounters at the northern border since President Biden took office. In\u200b August 2023 alone, there\u2063 was a 1,889-percent rise in encounters compared to\u2062 previous years. However, staffing levels along\u2062 the\u2063 northern \u200dborder have remained unchanged since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u2064 resolution\u2062 calls on the House of Representatives to acknowledge the border crisis and the threat of terrorism through the northern \u2062border. It urges Secretary \u2062Mayorkas to collaborate with Congress \u200bin implementing a comprehensive northern border security plan.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Securing Our Country<\/h3>\n<p>Representative Kelly emphasized the \u2063urgency of\u200c securing the northern border,\u2064 stating that it is\u2062 currently vulnerable and exposed.
