My only regret is that I did not introduce this amendment first. The Cardin amendment is desperately needed to combat the ever growing problem of deadbeat parents fleeing the country to avoid child support orders. The Cardin amendment will deny visas and entry into the United States to foreign nationals and legal residents who are noncustodial parents owing more than $5.000 in child support payments in the United States. It also. provides federal immigration officers with the authority to serve summons. court orders and other legal process in child support cases at the border. In this day of growing free trade and less border restrictions. this amendment will raise the importance of payment of child support beyond state borders. Madam Chairman.
