What this amendment would do

SA 5233, submitted by Mr. Kelly, aims to add a section to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33. This addition creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on protecting noncitizens who were granted deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The amendment allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to this protection. Specifically, it mentions that this could include legislation to:

  • Prohibit using Federal funds for the forced removal of individuals granted deferred action under the program.
  • Prohibit using Federal funds for the detention of individuals granted deferred action under the program.

The purpose is to allow these adjustments as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
