Mr. President. I stand in strong support of this budget point of order under section 407. which is being raised against the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act. I encourage all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to look very hard at this fiscal impact and this budget issue. because it has gotten very little attention in this entire debate but will have a dramatic impact on our country. our Government. and our budget for decades to come. Section 407 of the Budget Act specifically is about impacts on the budget of various legislation for the long term. and the point of order says: It shall not be in order to consider any bill. joint resolution. amendment. motion or conference report that would cause a net increase in direct spending in excess of $5 billion in any 10year period between 2016 and That is $5 billion per decade.
