SA 3411. 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
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S CURRENT
POLICIES ARE CAUSING THE BORDER CRISIS.
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
acknowledging that the root causes of the current border
crisis are the Administration's abandonment of virtually all
border security and immigration enforcement measures,
including halting border wall construction, ending the
Migrant Protection Protocols and safe third country
agreements, reducing the applicability of public health
orders authorized under sections 362 and 365 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 265 and 268), and severely
curtailing enforcement of immigration laws and detention and
deportation of illegal aliens present in the United States,
including criminal illegal aliens, which has made it easier
for illegal aliens to enter the United States and less likely
that they will be removed from the United States, 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.
