1. Adds SEC. __. BORDER SECURITY CERTIFICATION wherever appropriate

   Adds a section

   Inserted: SEC. __. BORDER SECURITY CERTIFICATION.

   Inserted: (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, subject to subsection (b), beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary may not implement a new conditional nonimmigrant work authorization program that grants legal status to any individual who illegally enters or entered the United States, or any similar or subsequent employment program that grants legal status to any individual who illegally enters or entered the United States, until the Secretary provides written certification to the President and Congress that the borders of the United States are reasonably sealed and secured.

   Inserted: (b) Waiver and Implementation.--The President may waive the certification requirement under subsection (a) and direct the Secretary to implement a new conditional nonimmigrant work authorization program or any similar or subsequent program described in that subsection, if the President determines that implementation of the program would strengthen the national security of the United States.

   The amendment doesn't say where this goes; the clerk decides.
