A resolution to express the sense of the Senate regarding the constitutional right of State Governors to repel the dangerous ongoing invasion across the United States southern border.
SRES 741 is a non-binding Senate resolution expressing the Senate's view that state governors have constitutional authority to address border conditions they describe as an "invasion." It claims the Biden administration's border policies - such as halting border wall construction, ending the "remain in Mexico" program, and reducing deportations - have created dangerous conditions that meet the constitutional definitions of "actually invaded" (Article I, Section 10) and "invasion" (Article IV, Section 4). The resolution states governors may exercise their authority as "Commander-in-Chief" of their states to repel this situation, citing specific border enforcement data and legal arguments. It does not create new law or change existing policy; it solely states the Senate's position on governors' constitutional role.
