     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION FUNDING A 
                   NORTHERN TRIANGLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     provide funding to support a development plan with the 
     governments of El Salvador, of Guatemala, and of Honduras 
     unless the President submits a report to Congress certifying 
     that such governments are taking meaningful and verifiable 
     actions to reduce illegal migration and stem transnational 
     criminal activity from Central America to the United States, 
     including by--
       (1) informing its citizens of the dangers of the journey to 
     the southwest border of the United States;
       (2) combating human smuggling and trafficking;
       (3) countering the activities of criminal gangs and 
     organized crime;
       (4) improving border security; and
       (5) cooperating with United States Government agencies to 
     facilitate the return and repatriation of illegal migrants.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of

     subsection (a).
