   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2202) to amend the 
   Immigration and Nationality Act to improve deterrence of illegal 
   immigration to the United States by increasing border patrol and 
 investigative personnel, by increasing penalties for alien smuggling 
and for document fraud, by reforming exclusion and deportation law and 
 procedures, by improving the verification system for eligibility for 
employment, and through other measures, to reform the legal immigration 
  system and facilitate legal entries into the United States, and for 
                            other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2202) to amend the 
Immigration and Nationality Act to improve deterrence of illegal 
immigration to the United States by increasing border patrol and 
investigative personnel, by increasing penalties for alien smuggling 
and for document fraud, by reforming exclusion and deportation law and 
procedures, by improving the verification system for eligibility for 
employment, and through other measures, to reform the legal immigration 
system and facilitate legal entries into the United States, and for 
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived except 
those arising under section 425(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 
two hours to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on the 
Judiciary now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in 
part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. No other amendment shall be in order except the 
amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
and amendments en bloc described in section 2 of this resolution. Each 
amendment printed in part 2 of the report may be considered only in the 
order printed, may be offered only by a Member designated in the 
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time 
specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as specified 
in the report, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of 
order against amendments made in order by this resolution are waived 
except those arising under section 425(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may postpone 
until a time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
a request for a recorded vote on any amendment. The chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five minutes the 
time for voting by electronic device on any postponed question that 
immediately follows another vote by electronic device without 
intervening business, provided that the time for voting by electronic 
device on the first in any series of questions shall be not less than 
fifteen minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a 
separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on the Judiciary or a designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution that were not earlier disposed of or 
germane modifications of any such amendments. Amendments en block 
offered pursuant to this section shall be considered as read (except 
that modifications shall be reported), shall be debatable for twenty 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary or their designees, 
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand 
for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an 
amendment printed in the form of a motion to strike may be modified to 
the form of a germane perfecting amendment to the text originally 
proposed to be stricken. The original proponent of an amendment 
included in such amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the 
Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of the 
amendments en bloc.
