             23          None
             24     
             25      Be it resolved by the Senate of the state of Utah:
             26          WHEREAS, the United States Constitution Article IV, Sec. 4 declares, "The United
             27      States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government, and shall
             28      protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the
             29      Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against Domestic Violence";


             30          WHEREAS, even conservative estimates of the number of illegal immigrants residing in
             31      the United States range from 12 million to 20 million, with some estimates as high as 30 million;
             32          WHEREAS, the illegal entry into the United States by tens of millions of illegal
             33      immigrants is approaching 10% of the nation's total population;
             34          WHEREAS, the federal government has allowed this illegal immigration invasion to
             35      occur at an accelerated pace for the last several decades;
             36          WHEREAS, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Security and Prosperity
             37      Partnership of North America are being used as the legal framework to create a North American
             38      Union, which would erase the national borders between the United States, Mexico, and Canada
             39      and eventually permit unlimited movement of people throughout North America; and
             40          WHEREAS, a condition of completely open borders throughout North America would
             41      constitute the end of national independence for the United States of America, nullifying the
             42      Declaration of Independence and the Constitution:
             43          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the state of Utah urges the
             44      United States Congress to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" by
             45      passing the necessary and appropriate legislation to resolve the illegal immigration crisis.
             46          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Senate of the state of Utah urges that the
             47      legislation should secure the United States' borders, stop illegal immigration, including ending
             48      the economic incentives for illegal immigration, and end birthright citizenship for children of
             49      illegal immigrants.
             50          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Senate of the state of Utah urges the legislation
             51      also reject any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants, and stop funding and dismantle or repeal
             52      any government program or agreement, like the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North
             53      America or the North American Free Trade Agreement, that would lead to the creation of an
             54      open borders North American Union.
             55          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Majority
             56      Leader of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
             57      and the members of Utah's congressional delegation.
