  SA 1643. Mr. CRUZ (for himself and Mr. Vance) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 4366, making 
appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
2024, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place in division F, insert the 
     following:

     SEC. ___. PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF FUNDS FOR PROVIDING 
                   FUNDING TO AIRPORT OWNERS OR OPERATORS THAT USE 
                   AIRPORT PROPERTY TO SHELTER OR HOUSE ALIENS NOT 
                   PROPERLY ADMITTED.

       None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to 
     provide funding to an airport owner or operator that uses any 
     facility classified for aeronautical or non-aeronautical uses 
     on airport property to provide shelter or housing for an 
     alien who has not been admitted (as such terms are defined in 
     section 101(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
     U.S.C. 1101(a)), unless such shelter or housing is on a 
     short-term emergency basis made necessary by a specified 
     disaster. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term 
     ``specified disaster'' means any fire, flood, explosion, 
     hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water, 
     tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, 
     landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought for which a 
     disaster declaration is made by the Federal Government or a 
     State pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
     Emergency Assistance Act.
                                 ______
