In addition. to make sure that this bill doesnt add a penny to our deficit. Madam Speaker. every dollar spent here is fully offset from somewhere else by making noncontroversial rescissions of unused. excess prioryear funds. Lastly. the bill includes several policy provisions recommended by the Speakers Working Group on the Border Crisis. led by the chairwoman of the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee. Representative KAY GRANGER from Texas. She will speak soon. This includes a change in a 2008 law to ensure that all unaccompanied minors arriving in this country are treated the same as Mexicans and Canadians for the purpose of removal. It also strengthens the law prohibiting immigration status to criminals convicted of serious drug crimes and prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from restricting Customs and Border Protection apprehension activities on Federal land on the border. and it expresses congressional intent that detained aliens awaiting processing should not be housed on military installations. Madam Speaker. this is a good bill. This is a fair. sensible. and reasonable address of the most immediate needs on the border.
