Whereas Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois declared I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American ; Whereas members of Congress are elected to represent constituents residing in their district in the United States of America, not foreign nations; Whereas Americans place their trust in elected members of Congress to represent their interests in the Federal Government; Whereas members of Congress take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ; and Whereas Representative Ramirez’s comments have cast doubt on whether she puts the interests of her constituents before those of the people of the Republic of Guatemala: Now, therefore, be it That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns the anti-American comments made by Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois; (2) affirms its allegiance to always put the interests of American citizens before those of other nations; (3) condemns comments that put the interests of foreign nations above those of the United States; and (4) affirms its commitment to always put the safety, prosperity, and overall well-being of the American people first before those of other nations.
