What this amendment would do

As folks keeping an eye on how our government spends money, we need to know what our elected officials are putting on the table. Mr. Merkley submitted SA 580, which is an amendment about setting up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to immigration case management.

What It Changes

This amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes and adjustments to financial levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger. These changes can be made for legislation dealing with improving the legal immigration process in the United States for noncitizen individuals and families.

  • This can include expanding the Case Management Pilot Program of the Department of Homeland Security.
  • The only rule is that this legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
