Our gracious heavenly Father, as we enter into spring here in the great state of Michigan, I ask You to bless and watch over our farmers as they begin planting for the season. I ask that You bless the fields they till and seed with bountiful crops. I pray that You will continue to show mercy and grace with our weather, and I ask that You show favor towards our gardens, orchards, and fields. Help us to appreciate what You give us and allow us to labor in Your name. Keep our bodies strong so hard work can be completed.
I ask these blessings in Your name. Amen.

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of
Senator Barrett offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 130.
A resolution to urge the federal government to extend Title 42 to avoid a crisis at the border.
Whereas, Former President Donald Trump’s administration implemented Title 42 to prevent certain migrants without documentation from entering the United States during a public health emergency such as COVID-19. This law allowed for some vulnerable populations, such as unaccompanied children, to continue seeking refuge in the United States; and
Whereas, President Joe Biden’s administration plans to end Title 42 restrictions on May 23, 2022. The United States Department of Homeland Security has reported that it expects an estimated 18,000 people to cross the southern border each day once these restrictions are lifted. This estimate is an overwhelming increase from March 2022, when an average of 7,000 migrants entered the country every day. Despite unprecedented migration, neither President Biden nor the administration has announced a concrete plan on how to handle a possible surge; and
Whereas, Extending Title 42 will delay a possible border crisis until the administration can produce an immigration plan. The extension has bipartisan support in Congress, and recent polling showed that the majority of Americans oppose the lifting of Title 42 restrictions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the federal government to extend Title 42 to avoid a crisis at the border; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Senator Lauwers requested the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered, 1/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members voting therefor, as follows:

Protests
Senators Geiss, Moss, Santana, Wojno, Alexander, McMorrow, Chang, Polehanki, Bullock and Hollier, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 130.
Obviously I already voted “no” on this but I wanted to extend my “no” vote explanation. Title 42 comes from the 1944 public health law to prevent the spread of communicable disease. It was implemented in March 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Back in October of 2021, I urged the Biden administration to rescind Title 42 in order to allow refugees and asylum seekers, specifically from Haiti at that time, in the wake of their poor treatment at the southern border. Unlike March 2020 when we were first grappling with this highly contagious virus and our mitigation tools for the pandemic were significantly limited, today we have so many more tools in place for mitigation that consideration of public health no longer needs to stand in binary opposition to the human rights of those seeking refuge and asylum.
So, I am asking publicly, why? If we’ve already done things to reduce our public health response to the pandemic, including things as recently as removing mask mandates on certain forms of transportation, why would we not urge the rescinding of Title 42? Or is it something else, another reason, one perhaps rooted in xenophobia and anti-immigrant bias? I think we need to be very careful when we’re urging the federal government to do things that violate human rights, especially the human rights of people who are trying to receive protection from highly traumatic situations. It’s very disappointing that this body just adopted that resolution.
By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of

The bill was read a first and second time by title and referred to the Committee on Agriculture.
Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Santana’s statement is as follows:
On April 26, the Detroit News reported that a conservative talk show host and chairman of the Antrim County Conservative Union named Randy Bishop, also known as “Trucker Randy,” made remarks that TV commercials were attempting to make him feel guilty because he thinks families should be all white. What is even more interesting than his alternative universe that he lives is the fact that he is running as a Democrat in the 37th District.
Mr. Bishop, this is not 1950 and you can never turn back the hands of time. Obama was the President, Mayor Mike Duggan is the mayor of the city of Detroit, and Eminem is the white rapper that sings Black music. Life has changed before your eyes. Perhaps, Mr. Bishop, you should read our American history to better understand that the Founding Fathers who signed that document that reads, “We the People” were all involved in interracial relationships. Just ask the godfather of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson had children by an African slave named Sally Hemings, who arrived at his Monticello plantation at three years of age as part of an inheritance.
Or maybe, Mr. Bishop, you should consider Congressman Thaddeus Stevens who was one of the most powerful men in the U.S. House of Representatives during the Civil War. Considered a Radical Republican, he tirelessly worked on behalf of African American emancipation. Although he was never formally married, he lived with an African American common-law wife, Lydia Hamilton Smith.
Mr. Bishop, you should also recognize the U.S. Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia of 1967. This was a landmark civil rights decision in which the Court ruled that laws banning interracial marriage violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In plain English, we can love who we want to love and marry who we want to marry, regardless of race.
This temper tantrum by a caveman with a radio show should be a strong reason why Republicans would respond. Don’t tell me that I should ignore him. Don’t tell me that he’s just an idiot. You have been saying that about him and people like him quietly for a very long time until this weekend. Those “Trucker Randy” people took over your convention and now they are running the show. When are you going to not let hate win?
When one of our colleagues entered this chamber with a Confederate flag on their face, the Republican response was silence. When protestors brought symbols of hate to the Capitol during their trial run for the insurrection, the Republican response was silence. After Democrats introduced legislation addressing symbols of hate, the Republican response was silence. When George Floyd was murdered, Democrats stood up and told you, We must do something about this before it happens in Michigan. Then the Republican response was silence. Then what? Patrick Lyoya. The Republican response was silence. Now you have a man who is spreading white supremacy under the banner of conservatism and the Republican response is silence. If past is prologue to the future, Michigan can expect more of the same response from the Republican caucus. Silence.
In closing, if by some freak accident that Mr. Bishop is elected—and we know that this is possible because those voting machines in Antrim County have been known to have a glitch or two—I would recommend to my Democratic colleagues that this man be required to attend 40 hours of diversity, equity, and inclusion training as a condition of his admission into the Democratic caucus. At least this way, he has had a chance of becoming woke.
Senator Runestad’s statement is as follows:
A new study published recently found the American West has spent the last two decades in what scientists are now describing is the most extreme megadrought in at least 1,200 years. In the summer of 2021, both Lake Mead and Lake Powell—the largest reservoirs in North America—reached record low levels. Nearly 65 percent of the American West is experiencing severe drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. For the first time, federal officials curbed allocations from the Colorado River basin which supplies water and power to up to 40 million people.
President Biden has a perfect solution to all of this unprecedented drought and also the exploding prices. His plan for the lack of water in California and the American West is to rescind Title 42 and bring in a new 18,000 people per day—bigger than Houston, Texas, every year—adding another 6 million illegal immigrants over the next two years, on top of the 3 to 4 million—yeah, it’s much higher than they’re telling you—that he has already brought in. Each of these individuals are going to need tremendous resources. They’re going to need water supplies, they’re going to need housing, all that will compete not with the rich—none of this means any difference to the rich—this is going to be to the working class. Competing for all these resources and for jobs; when the economy turns down, it is going to be an absolute disaster.
Mr. Biden will also continue working with the cartels to flood the nation with fentanyl that’s already killed over 100,000 Americans this year, so the people can be distracted with fentanyl while they’re trying to deal with the exploding inflation, the criminal cartels bringing in sex predators and other criminals over the border. The Democrats today just voted to continue supporting all of Biden’s border disaster policies that are so unpopular with the American people.
Senator Brinks’ statement is as follows:
It has been a long and heavy three weeks in my community since Patrick Lyoya was killed. There have been speeches and rallies, questions and demands, frustration, anger, profound grief, and lots of thoughts and prayers. There are reporters, lawyers, politicians, and activists who have come from near and far to say their righteous words that they hope will bring about justice and prevent this from happening again. And for a moment we can catch ourselves collectively daring to hope once again that this time it will work. I know they mean well, and some may even do some good while they are here.
But as a resident of this community, it doesn’t take long for me to be pulled back down by my grief, not just for Patrick and his family, but for my community of Grand Rapids. The words people say are so often right and righteous and true, but the actions required to make real and lasting change never seem to come.
Despite the many wonderful things my city represents, like so many other places it is marred by an ugly history of racial discrimination and civil rights abuses. I know leaders at the local level have the obligation to examine every policy, procedure, contract, and detail of this incident, and make changes so that there are no more senseless deaths at the hands of the Grand Rapids police. But I’ve also recognized for years that laws at the state level can be changed to help us address the inequities that leave communities of color vulnerable to injustice.
Throughout my career in the Legislature, I have recognized the absence of people of color in so many places where important decisions are being made, and I have made it my mission to use my privilege to be a voice for equity and justice. While I know my advocacy cannot replace the lived experiences of people of color—and especially that of Black people in America—I also recognize that change requires active allies, so every decision I make in the Legislature—whether on education, economic opportunity, health care, the environment, criminal justice, or appropriations—is an opportunity to advance equity. And every day, I work to make our community and all of Michigan a place where every person is safe, has their needs met, and enjoys the freedom to achieve their goals.
But I realize this is not enough if we are to move toward accountability and justice, to restore trust, and maybe even start to find hope that our communities can be safe for everyone. Right now, and for the last year, we have had a bipartisan package to address police reform before a committee of this body, but we continue to have to beg our Republican colleagues in charge of the Legislature’s agenda to give a damn about any of it. And now another person is dead.
I’m tired of excuses. I’m tired of political convenience. I’m tired of the lack of political courage, and the flippant choice by many leaders to simply ignore the realities that people of color face every day in our state. I’m frustrated because I’ve worked hard to establish good relationships with people on the other side of the aisle and to respect the parameters of this institution. But what good is all of that hard work if we can’t draw from that well of goodwill to get something this important done for the people of our state?
For weeks now, I have listened to the pain and anguish in my constituents’ voices. And while there is nothing I can say here today that will bring Patrick Lyoya back or change the state of race relations in Grand Rapids overnight, there is something we can do here together. We can take up the bipartisan legislation on police reform. We can take the first step toward making sure what happened to Patrick doesn’t happen again. And if we have anything to say about it, and we do. You are welcome to keep thinking and praying, but if you don’t take action, your thoughts and prayers are useless.
Senator Chang’s statement is as follows:
First, I want to condemn any and all death threats and threats of violence against our colleague from the 22nd District. Threats of violence against any public official are simply unacceptable. Our country affords us all the opportunity and the right to speak up about our beliefs, so to those who are rightfully angry at our situation, let’s use those methods—engage in democracy, speak out, call out hate, then act.
To those who are feeling outraged about the hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ kids, don’t fight hate with hate. Fight back by supporting LGBTQ-led organizations highlighted last week on social media by the Senator from the 11th District. Join the growing movement to finally expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to protect LGBTQ individuals from discrimination.
To those who are feeling outraged about attempts to whitewash history, funnel that anger not towards hate but to pushing for bills that would ensure that we teach every Michigan child about the contributions and the struggles of people of color in this country—and the painful and systemic racism that continues to pervade. Join the effort for teaching the truth in our schools so that we can avoid the terrible mistakes of the past and help ensure a better future for all of our children.
To those seeking to further their allyship, take the time to learn about the history of marginalized groups. Learn about Stonewall, learn about Vincent Chin, learn about Native American boarding schools. Fight back against the rise in hate by taking a bystander intervention training and taking action to combat hate crimes, bullying, discrimination, and harassment. And funnel that anger to supporting people-of-color-led organizations on the ground who have been fighting for change and leading our racial justice movements for many decades. Funnel that anger into working even harder for our police accountability and use-of-force legislation and other policies that bring about a more just world that values Black lives. Dr. King said that, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
So today, in condemning the violent threats against our colleague and against public officials, I’m also calling on our allies and co-liberators who are new to this movement to be an ally or co-liberator in the way that is most helpful to those who are directly impacted, by supporting and lifting up those activists and community leaders on the ground, led by LGBTQ or individuals and people of color. People of color, LGBTQ individuals in this country are fired up but we are also exhausted. We are exhausted by the constant onslaught of attacks on our humanity. So allies and co-liberators, we appreciate you, we recognize you, and we do need you in this moment, so let’s work together.
