Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The current situation at the southern border presents a border security and humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests and constitutes a national emergency. (2) The southern border is a major entry point for criminals, gang members, and illicit narcotics. (3) Recent years have seen sharp increases in the number of family units entering and seeking entry to the United States. (4) If not detained, such aliens are often released into the country and are often difficult to remove from the United States because they fail to appear for hearings, do not comply with orders of removal, or are otherwise difficult to locate. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the President should use the authorities granted under sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621 and 1631) to declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States. 4.
