                 AMERICAN DREAM AND PROMISE ACT OF 2019

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Butterfield). Pursuant to clause 1(c) of 
rule XIX, further consideration of the bill (H.R. 6) to authorize the 
cancellation of removal and adjustment of status of certain aliens, and 
for other purposes, will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. CLINE. I am in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Cline moves to recommit the bill H.R. 6 to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       Page 9, line 5, strike ``or''.
       Page 9, line 19, strike the period at the end and insert a 
     semicolon.
       Page 9, after line 19, insert the following:
       (C) The Secretary knows or has reason to believe that the 
     alien is or has been a member of a criminal street gang (as 
     defined in subsection (a) of section 521 of title 18, United 
     States Code), or to have participated in the activities of a 
     criminal street gang knowing or having reason to know that 
     such activities will promote, further, aid, or support the 
     illegal activity of the criminal gang. For purposes of this 
     subparagraph, the Secretary may consider any and all credible 
     evidence of membership or participation in a criminal street 
     gang, including evidence obtained from a State or Federal 
     data base used for the purpose of recording and sharing 
     activities of alleged gang members across law enforcement 
     agencies.
       Page 12, strike line 21 and all that follows through page 
     13, line 13 (and redesignate succeeding subparagraphs 
     accordingly).
       Add at the end the following (and conform the table of 
     contents accordingly):

                     TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     SEC. 301. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN ALIENS FOUND INELIGIBLE FOR 
                   ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS.

       Notwithstanding sections 111(e), 129, 211(c)(3), and 229 of 
     this Act, an alien whose application would be denied based on 
     criminal, national security, gang, or public safety grounds, 
     as set out in section 111(c) or 211(a)(3) of this Act, shall 
     be referred by the Secretary of Homeland Security for a 
     determination of whether the alien should be placed in 
     removal proceedings under section 240 of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1229a).

  Mr. CLINE (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the reading be dispensed with.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Virginia is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, this amendment will not kill the bill or send 
it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to 
final passage, as amended.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people are sympathetic, forgiving, and 
reasonable people. They understand the idea of providing some type of 
certainty and stability for the approximately 700,000 DACA-eligible 
recipients who were brought to the United States by their parents at a 
young age and who otherwise have played by the rules while growing up 
in this country.
  Mr. Speaker, what they don't understand is providing green cards and 
a path to citizenship for violent gang members, national security 
threats, and those who, through their disdain for our laws, thumb their 
noses at Lady Liberty and the Constitution of the United States.
  They definitely don't understand why this bill treats men and women 
at the Department of Homeland Security like they are the dangerous 
ones, preventing them from receiving and utilizing readily available 
information in order to remove gang members, national security threats, 
and other public safety threats from our country to keep our families, 
our communities, and our Nation safe.
  This motion to recommit simply says that if an alien has been 
designated a danger to Americans, then they don't deserve to become an 
American.
  It provides that aliens whose applications are denied on the basis of 
criminal activity, national security risks, or as violent gang members 
are automatically referred to the Department of Homeland Security for a 
determination of removability from the United States.
  Under this bill, information about criminal activity provided in an 
application for a green card may not be used for the purpose of 
immigration enforcement, even if the application is denied or 
withdrawn.
  In practice, this means that, if an applicant has a murder conviction 
or if the applicant is a gang member and DHS knows about it because of 
the application, they can't refer that person for removal. It is just 
wrong.
  The perverse and practical effect of H.R. 6 is that criminal aliens, 
gang members, terrorist threats, and other public safety threats who 
could be denied a green card will simply stay in this country, as if we 
are simply a sanctuary nation.
  Mr. Speaker, some cities might want to be sanctuary cities, but most 
Americans want safety from crime, not sanctuary for criminals.
  This MTR also does not affect the stay of removal provisions in H.R. 
6 or the provisions relating to finality of adjudication in the bill. 
Thus, the alien cannot be removed until they have exhausted their 
appeals and received a final decision on their application.
  If Democrats see fit to exclude criminals, national security risks, 
public

[[Page H4293]]

safety risks, and gang members from receiving green cards, then they 
should vote for this motion to recommit to ensure those dangerous 
aliens are also denied a safe haven in the United States.
  I am sure most of the individuals who will take advantage of the 
provisions in this bill respect the U.S. Constitution and obey the laws 
of this Nation, but history has proven that criminal aliens, gang 
members, terrorists, and other public safety threats apply for 
immigration benefits all the time. If they didn't, we wouldn't have to 
have section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which makes 
such aliens inadmissible.
  Even under DACA, under President Obama's program, criminals have 
applied. In fact, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 
Services, almost 8 percent of total DACA requesters, 59,786 
individuals, had arrest records, which included such offenses as 
assault and battery, rape, murder, and drunk driving. And 199 
individuals who requested DACA had 10 or more arrests.
  H.R. 6 also provides green cards to gang members. Criminal gangs are 
a scourge on our communities, preying on vulnerable populations while 
committing a vast array of criminal acts.
  H.R. 6 should not give gang members a foothold in the U.S. by fast-
tracking them to a green card.
  This MTR makes it easier for DHS to deny the applications of gang 
members by making it an eligibility requirement that an alien is not a 
gang member and by explicitly permitting DHS to take into account the 
information found in gang databases.
  Hear me clearly: No matter what Democratic colleagues may say in the 
next few minutes, if Members don't vote for this MTR, they cannot look 
their constituents in the eye and honestly say that criminals will not 
get green cards.
  If the Democrats want to prevent such dangerous individuals from 
getting green cards, they must vote for this MTR. To do otherwise is to 
prevent a commonsense change that will ensure the safety of law-abiding 
Americans, as well as those who are seeking to be part of the greatest 
nation on Earth, the United States of America.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose the motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I may be new to Washington, but, apparently, 
I have learned something that the other side of the aisle has not, 
which is how to read a bill. If my colleagues go to page 11, line 21, 
of this bill, they will learn that gang members are not eligible under 
H.R. 6.
  Mr. Speaker, if my colleagues don't believe me, I will quote the 
bill, that the applicant ``knowingly, willingly, and willfully 
participated in offenses committed by a criminal street gang . . . with 
the intent to promote or further the commission of such offenses'' may 
be denied by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
  So, look, spare me. Spare me, Mr. Speaker.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will remind all persons in the 
gallery that they are here as guests of the House and that any 
manifestation of approval or disapproval of proceedings is in violation 
of the rules of the House.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to spare me this false 
outrage because if this really were about gang violence, my colleagues 
have continuously had opportunities to pass legislation that would curb 
that threat.
  If this were about gun violence and gang violence, where were my 
Republican colleagues last year when Congressman Connolly introduced 
H.R. 5960, a bill actually called the Preventing Gang Violence Act of 
2018, a bill that they killed in committee?
  If my colleagues across the aisle truly wanted to combat gang 
violence, why did they refuse to let H.R. 1297, the Youth PROMISE Act, 
come out of committee when it was introduced in the 114th Congress by 
Congressman Scott?
  At the end of the day, there is no question that no one is interested 
in allowing gang members to benefit from the American Dream and Promise 
Act, and that is why this bill addresses this exact issue.
  At the end of the day, the Secretary has the ability to deny any 
applicant if they have directly participated in gang activity, even if 
they have not been convicted of a crime.
  Mr. Speaker, what we have lost in the debate today, in my view, is 
what this bill is all about at its core.
  I rise today not just as a Member of this body, not just as a proud 
American, but as the son of immigrants, as the son of African refugees 
who came to the United States over 35 years ago from a war-torn country 
in east Africa.
  They became naturalized citizens, and they never forgot nor took for 
granted the freedom and the opportunities that the United States of 
America gave them and their children.
  That I am able to stand in this Chamber with all of my colleagues 
today is proof that the American Dream is real, and I want it to be 
attainable for generations to come.
  That is why we must pass H.R. 6 today. Right now, there are young 
people all across our country who know no other home but the United 
States. These kids are dedicated and willing to put in the hard work to 
earn a college education. They are excelling in their careers. They are 
contributing to our communities in countless ways every day.
  We cannot allow these young people to continue to live in fear, to be 
at risk every single day of being ripped away from their lives and 
losing everything that they know.
  In America, immigrants are integral parts of each of our communities 
and of our economy. They are our friends. They are our neighbors. They 
are our coworkers. They are fighting each and every day, just as we 
are, to live up to the American ideals that our country was founded on.
  Mr. Speaker, I have often heard my colleagues on the other side of 
the aisle offer quotes in this Chamber, in my limited time here. Well, 
let me give you a quote.

                              {time}  1830

  Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer a quote, and the quote is as 
follows: ``It is bold men and women, yearning for freedom and 
opportunity, who leave their homelands and come to a new country to 
start their lives over. They believe in the American Dream. And over 
and over, they make it come true for themselves, for their children, 
and for others. They give more than they receive. They labor and 
succeed. And often they are entrepreneurs. But their greatest 
contribution is more than economic, because they understand in a 
special way how glorious it is to be an American.''
  That quote, those are not my words. Those are the words of President 
Ronald Reagan, and they were delivered by President Ronald Reagan in 
1980, the same year my parents came to the United States.
  Let's pass H.R. 6 today, and let's treat every person in our country 
who has struggled and is just as American as you and I are, let's treat 
them with the respect that they deserve.
  Vote ``no'' on this motion to recommit, and let's pass H.R. 6 today.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of passage.
  This is a 5-minute vote.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 202, 
noes 221, not voting 10, as follows:

                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Espaillat) (during the vote). The Chair 
will remind all persons in the gallery that they are here as guests of 
the House and that any manifestation of approval or disapproval of 
proceedings is in violation of the rules of the House.

                              {time}  1844

  Mr. PHILLIPS changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I missed votes today because 
I was in my district with Vice President Pence to tour the emergency 
response initiatives to the recently declared state of emergency, due 
to flooding in the Tulsa Area.
  Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 235, 
``nay'' on rollcall No. 236, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 237, ``yea'' on 
rollcall No. 238, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 239, and ``nay'' on rollcall 
No. 240.
