SA 187. Mr. GALLEGO submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; 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 ENSURING
THAT U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT
PRIORITIZES THE DETENTION AND REMOVAL OF
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF
VIOLENT CRIMES OR WHO POSE A THREAT TO PUBLIC
SAFETY OR NATIONAL SECURITY.
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
ensuring that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses
its finite resources to prioritize the detention and removal
of illegal immigrants who have been convicted of violent
crimes or who pose a threat to public safety or national
security, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal
years 2025 through 2034.
