 RESOLUTION

Condemning the Members of Congress constituting the leadership team of 
 the House Republican Conference.

Whereas, on March 5, 2025, the House Republican Conference's political arm 
 posted a vile post on X about United States Congressman Adriano 
 Espaillat of New York, the Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic 
 Caucus, calling into question his immigration status and patriotism;
Whereas this xenophobic rhetoric from the House Republican Conference proves 
 that one can follow the law, earn legal status, become a citizen of the 
 United States, get duly elected to Congress, swear multiple oaths of 
 office to uphold and defend the Constitution, and still be called an 
 ``illegal immigrant'', despite its ignorance and inaccuracy;
Whereas this xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric is beneath the oath of 
 office for a Member of Congress and has no place in the House of 
 Representatives; and
Whereas this post followed an intense debate on the House floor about decorum 
 and the need for Members of Congress to rise above political division 
 and elevate the discourse of this sacred citadel of American democracy: 
 Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, 
Majority Whip Tom Emmer, House Republican Chair Lisa McClain, 
Republican Policy Committee Chairman Kevin Hern, House Republican 
Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler, and 
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson 
shall be condemned for allowing the House Republican Conference's 
political arm to make a false statement and call into question the 
citizenship of their colleague, Congressman Adriano Espaillat.
