(b) The budgetary effects of this section shall not be entered on
either PAYGO scorecard maintained pursuant to section 4(d) of the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.
(c) Notwithstanding Rule 3 of the Budget Scorekeeping Guidelines
set forth in the joint explanatory statement of the committee of
conference accompanying Conference Report 105-217 and section 250(c)(8)
of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the
budgetary effects of this section shall not be estimated--
(1) for purposes of section 251 of the such Act; and
(2) for purposes of paragraph 4(C) of section 3 of the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 as being included in an
appropriation Act.
Sec. 582. (a) The Congress finds that--
(1) under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public
Law 111-148), many individuals and businesses are required to purchase
health insurance coverage for themselves and their employees;
(2) individuals who were unlawfully present in the United States
who have been granted deferred action under the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals Program undertaken by the Executive Branch and who
then receive work authorization are exempt from these requirements;
(3) many United States employers hiring United States citizens or
individuals legally present in the United States are required to either
offer those persons affordable health insurance or pay a penalty of
approximately $3,000 per employee per year; and
(4) an employer does not have to provide insurance, or in many
instances pay a penalty, if they hire individuals who were not lawfully
present but who have been granted deferred action under the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals Program and work authorization.
(b) It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) this disparate treatment has the unacceptable effect of
discouraging the hiring of United States citizens and those in a lawful
immigration status in the United States; and
(2) the Executive Branch should refrain from pursuing policies,
such as granting deferred action under the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals Program and work authorization to unlawfully present
individuals, that disadvantage the hiring of United States citizens and
those in a lawful immigration status in the United States.
Sec. 583. It is the sense of the Congress that the Director of
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) should--
(1) stop putting the interests of aliens who are unlawfully
present in the United States ahead of the interests of aliens
who are following proper immigration laws and procedures by
adjudicating petitions and applications for immigration
benefits submitted by aliens unlawfully present in the United
States. When USCIS adjudicators and resources are used to
adjudicate petitions and applications for aliens who are
unlawfully present, the time it takes to process petitions and
applications submitted by other aliens is significantly
increased and a backlog is created. In addition, it is unfair
to use the fees paid by other aliens to cover the costs of
adjudicating petitions and applications for aliens unlawfully
present in the United States; and
(2) use the funds available under existing law to improve
services and increase the efficiency of the immigration
benefits application process for aliens abroad or who are
lawfully present in the United States.

Appropriations Act, 2015''.
