What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mr. Bennet, creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund. Its purpose is to focus on advancing border technologies that improve security while also protecting vulnerable populations.

To make this happen, the amendment aims to add a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution. Specifically, it allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation related to these border technologies, as long as that legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.

The text explicitly notes that these technologies may include:

  • AI-powered sensors to detect smuggling

  • Automated alerts for potential unaccompanied children in distress
