On page 100, between lines 20 and 21, insert the following:
(7) Limitation on immigration provisions.--Notwithstanding
any other provision of law, section 103(b)(3) of this Act and
section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2191)
(relating to trade authorities procedures) shall not apply to
any bill implementing a trade agreement between the United
States and any other country if the trade agreement or the
implementing bill contains any provision relating to the
immigration laws of the United States or the entry of aliens
into the United States.
(8) Point of order in senate.--
(A) In general.--When the Senate is considering an
implementing bill, upon a point of order being made by any
Senator against any part of the implementing bill or trade
agreement that contains material in violation of paragraph
(7), and the point of order is sustained by the Presiding
Officer, the Senate shall cease consideration of the
implementing bill under the trade authorities procedures
referred to in section 103(b)(3) of this Act or set forth in
section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2191).
(B) Waivers and appeals.--
(i) Waivers.--Before the Presiding Officer rules on a point
of order described in subparagraph (A), any Senator may move
to waive the point of order and the motion to waive shall not
be subject to amendment. A point of order described in
subparagraph (A) is waived only by the affirmative vote of 60
Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn.
(ii) Appeals.--After the Presiding Officer rules on a point
of order under this subparagraph, any Senator may appeal the
ruling of the Presiding Officer on the point of order as it
applies to some or all of the provisions on which the
Presiding Officer ruled. A ruling of the Presiding Officer on
a point of order described in subparagraph (A) is sustained
unless a majority of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen
and sworn, vote not to sustain the ruling.
(iii) Debate.--Debate on a motion to waive under clause (i)
or on an appeal of the ruling of the Presiding Officer under
clause (ii) shall be limited to 1 hour, which shall be
equally divided between, and controlled by, the Majority
Leader and the Minority Leader of the Senate, or their
designees.
