                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.

                              {time}  1418

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated for:
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Chair, on June 25, 2019, I was absent for recorded 
vote No. 406. Had I been present, I would have voted yea.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. CLOUD. Mr. Chair, I was at the White House. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 403, ''nay'' on rollcall No. 
404, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 405, and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 406.


                          personal explanation

  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chair, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 403, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 
404, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 405, and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 406.
  The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule, 
the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Carson of Indiana) having assumed the chair, Mr. McGovern, Acting Chair 
of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported 
that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 
3055) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2020, and for other purposes, and pursuant to House 
Resolution 445, he reported the bill, as amended by that resolution, 
back to the House with sundry further amendments adopted in the 
Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  Pursuant to House Resolution 445, the question on adoption of the 
further amendments will be put en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third 
reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.


                           Motion to Recommit

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

       Mr. Hurd of Texas moves to recommit the bill H.R. 3055 to 
     the Committee on Appropriations with instructions to report 
     the same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       Page 7, line 12, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced 
     by $75,000,000)''.
       Page 25, line 7, after the first dollar amount, insert 
     ``(increased by $75,000,000)''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman is 
recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. HURD of Texas. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues know I am the only 
Republican on the border. My colleagues know I am the only Member of 
Congress who has 820 miles along the border. My colleagues know that I 
have spent a good deal of my time up here working with them on things 
like stopping the separation of families along the border. My 
colleagues also know that I know that some Members are not for open 
borders.
  It is an understatement to say that our Nation's immigration docket 
is a matter of concern. The caseload has increased by nearly fivefold 
since the end of 2008, and now it stands at roughly 9,000 cases. The 
average wait for nondetained individuals is over 670 days, with many 
individuals waiting much longer for an immigration hearing. The net 
effect of this untenable backlog situation is to delay justice, in many 
cases, for years for those with valid claims. This is simply 
outrageous.
  The adjudication of immigration matters is essential to the proper 
administration of justice in our country. Congress must ensure that 
U.S. immigration laws are administered fairly, efficiently, and 
consistently with due process.
  This motion adds $75 million to our immigration court system. It will 
support additional immigration judge teams and the expansion of 
courtroom capacity.
  Now, some of my colleagues will say that there are already judges in 
this bill. There are. They meet the requests of, actually, this White 
House, but that is not enough.
  In 2016, the ACLU came out and said that to get to the backlog there, 
to address the backlog then, which was only 500,000, we needed 500 
immigration judge teams. We need more.
  Many Members have already voted for more than this when they all 
helped me jam Republican leadership last year--or try to jam Republican 
leadership last year--on sorting out the immigration issue.
  Now, some of my colleagues will say that taking money away from 
Census to do that is not the right way to go. This underlying bill 
funds the Census 40 percent above the President's request. That is more 
than $2.3 billion. This bill includes $8 billion, with or without this 
amendment.
  Most importantly, this motion to recommit does not address or change 
the question that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have 
addressed in this bill, and that is whether or not the citizenship 
question can be added on the 2020 Census. This bill says it cannot. 
This motion to recommit does not change that.
  Let me repeat. This motion to recommit does not change that.
  We are taking money out of the Census reserve slush fund. This is 
money that may or may not be used. We can hold on to this funding for 
unforeseen problems, or we can use this funding now to help solve a 
problem we see loud and clear.
  Our current shortage of immigration judges delays justice for 
individuals who have valid immigration claims, while preserving many 
years of continued illegal presence for others who do

[[Page H5103]]

not. Worse still, the allure of our weakened system entices migrants to 
undertake the incredibly dangerous journey north with young children.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this motion to help reverse 
these regrettable and unsustainable trends caused by our broken 
immigration system, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion.
  With the approach of the 2020 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau needs a 
strong infusion of resources to ensure a thorough and accurate count.
  As a member of the Appropriations Committee, my colleague knows that 
the funding level provided for the Census Bureau in this bill is more 
in line with recent revised budget costs and estimates. This bill also 
supports critical funding of the Bureau as it embarks on the most 
technologically advanced Census in its history, including $1 billion in 
infrastructure that includes IT funding to enhance the Bureau's 
cybersecurity efforts and protect respondents' personal data and 
information submitted to the Bureau. Every dollar can be tied to an 
original plan, a cost estimate, or a recommendation submitted by the 
department.
  There appears to be a growing attack on the Census out of fear of a 
demographically changing country and a concerning effort by the other 
side to skew the results in their favor.
  We need every dollar in this Census because the administration is 
fear-mongering, because they are trying to force an undercount with the 
inclusion of the citizenship question, and, in reality, we are 
recommending a funding level consistent with what they indicated they 
need for a fair and accurate count.
  Any proposal to decrease this amount increases the risk of 
undercounts of minority and hard-to-count communities, including rural 
parts of this country that lack broadband services.

                              {time}  1430

  Such an undercount would cause these areas to lose out on political 
representation and Federal funding.
  Reduced funding for the Census also increases the risk of cyber 
intrusions and the release of protected personal data.
  This bill already provides a strong increase for immigration judges, 
as the gentleman mentioned, consistent with the administration's 
request, an increase of over $110 million over the fiscal year 2019 
level that provides for an additional 100 judge teams, which my 
colleague acknowledged in his remarks.
  I am not aware of a Census slush fund, but I am aware that these are 
vital resources that will help count our communities, help ensure that 
this is done fairly, and help ensure that hard-to-count communities are 
counted.
  The Justice Department is not able to hire any faster than that, as 
the gentleman acknowledged.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge rejection of this motion. I urge my colleagues to 
vote ``no,'' and 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. HURD of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute 
vote on passage of the bill.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 201, 
noes 220, not voting 11, as follows:
