Under this process. we are not given an opportunity to do that. My amendments would prevent decadeslong litigation and frivolous lawsuits from occurring with respect to the provisions of this bill. Another amendment I would offer if given an opportunity would require judges to consider national security implications before issuing nationwide injunctions against Immigration enforcement. That is an essential provision to protecting our Nation. something that this bill claims to do but which it omits. I would note that that provision passed in last years immigration bill but yet was consciously omitted from this one. There is no good reason to weaken last years bill in this regard. Another amendment I would offer would limit the timeframe of any appeal from a denial of Z status to 2 years. so that any error is promptly corrected and so that court proceedings would not tend to drag on endlessly. wasting tax dollars and logjamming our courts and allowing a person who has been determined not to be eligible for legal status to stay in the country indefinitely. under the guise of appealing their denial.
