The resolution acknowledges the ongoing border crisis affecting Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, highlighted by a significant increase in illegal crossings and the declaration of a state of invasion by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. It cites alarming statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including over 5.8 million illegal crossings since January 2021 and the arrest of thousands of individuals with criminal backgrounds. The resolution also addresses the severe drug trafficking issues, particularly the smuggling of fentanyl, which has contributed to a national opioid crisis, resulting in over 107,000 drug overdose deaths in 2022.

In response to this crisis, the resolution expresses Alabama's support for the border security efforts of the affected states and emphasizes that the issue impacts the entire nation, making every state a "border state." It highlights Alabama's commitment to assist, including the deployment of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border. The resolution concludes by affirming that border security is a matter of national security, essential for the safety of communities across America.
