It applies. if I may reclaim my time. to the asylum procedures which could conceivably be under either exclusion or deportation because they are claiming to be refugees or maybe just aliens who have been apprehended either inside our borders or trying to cross the borders. It also applies to any and all other exclusion and deportation matters. Class actions would be totally barred in all these immigration matters. However. the amendment primarily deals with summary exclusion and that is critical. It also deals with the area that the gentleman is talking about. which is the asylum exclusion and deportation speedup. If we are going to streamline this bill and allow summary exclusion to work. if we are going to allow asylum procedures to work and not have the delays and the frivolous procedures that we have had in the past. I urge my colleagues to revote for the McCollum amendment. as they did a few days ago when it comes up again. when the committee rises.
