What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a rule to the congressional budget resolution regarding immigration enforcement. It establishes a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, against funding immigration enforcement measures that negatively impact the United States travel and tourism industry.

The amendment states that 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 funds these specific immigration enforcement measures. This rule can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members is also required to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair regarding this point of order.
