SA 3370. Mr. HAGERTY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO REFORMING
ASYLUM LAW AND ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES TO PREVENT
ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO TRAVEL THROUGH THIRD
COUNTRIES, IN WHICH THEY COULD HAVE REQUESTED
ASYLUM, FROM SEEKING ASYLUM IN THE UNITED
STATES AND BEING PERMITTED TO ENTER AND REMAIN
IN THE UNITED STATES INDEFINITELY.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
reforming asylum law and enforcement practices to prevent
illegal aliens who travel through third countries, in which
they could have requested asylum, from seeking asylum in the
United States once they reach the border and being permitted
to enter and remain in the United States indefinitely while
their asylum proceedings are pending, which currently serves
only to encourage illegal immigration and abuse of the asylum
system, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those
purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal
years 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of fiscal
years 2022 through 2031.
