Expressing disapproval of the failure to uphold the constitutional duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" and the usurpation of the legislative authority of Congress by the President of the United States.
HRES 493 is a non-binding House resolution expressing disapproval of President Biden's immigration enforcement actions. It specifically criticizes the 100-day pause on deporting individuals with final removal orders and the preservation of the DACA program, alleging these actions violate the President’s constitutional duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." The resolution demands the removal of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calls for full enforcement of immigration laws, and asserts that the President has unlawfully usurped Congress’s legislative authority. It cites court rulings and a GAO opinion stating the President cannot substitute policy priorities for enacted laws. The resolution serves as a symbolic censure, not a policy change.
