Re: Sen. Kennedy this morning (link)
The resolution, introduced in the Senate on Monday, is aimed at "[u]rging the development of a strategy to counter the rise in violent crime across the United States" and "points out that the murder rate in America rose by 30 percent from 2019-2020, the largest single-year increase in more than a century" while highlighting "a 59 percent increase in the number of police officers murdered last year" and noting at "[a]t least 16 American cities set record for the number of murders in 2021."
The resolution also calls President Biden and his party for the border crisis that rages unaddressed and mostly unacknowledged. "More than 2.5 million illegal immigrants have been caught trying to cross the U.S. southern border since January 2021, and overdose deaths have reached an all-time high as the flow of illegal drugs across the southern border is putting communities at risk across America," the resolution also notes.
