SA 1545. Mr. RUBIO submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 815, to amend title 38, United States Code, to make certain improvements relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursement for emergency treatment furnished through the Veterans Community Care program, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: At the appropriate place, insert the following: Sec. __. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security may not admit any alien into the United States at any point along the international border (including ports of entry) unless such alien is in possession of a valid visa authorizing such entry. (b) The Secretary of Homeland Security may not waive the limitation described in subsection (a). (c) If the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that U.S. Customs and Border Protection has full operational control (as defined in section 2(b) of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-367; 8 U.S.C. 1701 note)) of the northern and southern land borders of the United States, the Secretary shall submit a request to Congress. If such request is approved by an Act of Congress, the limitation described in subsection (a) shall no longer have any force or effect. ______
