To create a point of order against the consideration of any legislation that increases employment-based visas until the United States' labor market stabilizes and unemployment levels reach pre-pandemic levels, ensuring that Congress prioritizes the needs of American workers who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

SA 811. Mr. CRUZ submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:

At the appropriate place in title IV, insert the following:

SEC. 4 . POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT INCREASES
THE NUMBER OF VISAS AVAILABLE FOR FOREIGN
WORKERS WHILE AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT REMAINS
HIGH.

(a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate
to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment,
amendment between the Houses, or conference report that
increases, or has the effect of increasing, the number of
foreign workers in the United States by raising the number of
authorized employment-based immigrant or nonimmigrant visas
or by increasing the number of lawful permanent residents
until the United States reaches a seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate of 3.5 percent, which was the rate on
February 1, 2020--shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic caused
an economic crisis, resulting in significant American job
losses.
(b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or
suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly
chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of
the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under
subsection (a).
