Mr. Chairman. my amendment is a bit different than the gentleman from Alabamas previous amendment in that I drafted this amendment to block the use of any funds within this appropriations bill from being used by our military to house illegal aliens or unaccompanied alien children. So my amendment is a bit more specific. and I think it is on target in that it says that: "None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to carry out or in response to the memorandum of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. ... titled Memorandum for Secretaries of the Military Departments Director. Joint Staff and dated November 25. 2015." The summary of that is that this memorandum. which I have in my hand. dated November 25. is from the Department of Homeland Security to the military that says identify the inventory that you could allow to be used to house unaccompanied alien children. and then they want to enter into private agreements for each facility.
