At its regular quarterly meeting the Republican National Committee is scheduled to vote on a resolution calling on our Congress to take concrete steps to secure our border. The resolution was submited by Randall Pullen the chairman of the Arizona Republican Party. The resolution has also gained the support of leaders such as Denise McNamara the Republican National Committeewoman from Texas. The RNC will be meeting August 1-4, in Minneapolis. If you care at all about securing our borders I urge you to contact your state's national committee members, and express your support for this resolution.

I have posted the most recent text I have below.

TO SECURE OUR BORDERS



WHEREAS, it is reliably estimated that between twelve and twenty million citizens of other countries have entered and currently remain in the United States illegally; and



WHEREAS, the ability of millions of unidentified persons to illegally enter and remain in the United States presents a grave risk to the sovereignty of the United States and security of the American people; and



WHEREAS, Congress has already authorized the construction of 854 miles of border fencing and appropriated one billion dollars to construct it and it is reliably reported that less than 20 miles of such fencing have been completed; now therefore be it



RESOLVED that the Members of the Republican National Committee urge that the Congress of the United States , as a matter of the highest priority, take all necessary steps to provide appropriate authority and means to accomplish the following:



(1) Complete the construction of the border fencing that has been authorized as expeditiously as is reasonably possible; and



(2) Effectively secure the borders of the United States to illegal entry by every appropriate additional means, fully equipping and empowering the Border Patrol and using our National Guard and the U.S. military if necessary.
