S.Amdt. 519

SA 519. Mr. DURBIN (for himself and Mr. Bennet) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution
S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the congressional budget for the United
States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034; which
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PROTECTING FOOD AND FARM LABORERS FROM REMOVAL
TO AVOID UNNECESSARY INCREASES TO THE COST OF
GROCERIES FOR AMERICANS.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to the
cost of groceries, which may include the protection from
arrest, detention, or removal for noncitizen food and farm
laborers who do not present a threat to public safety or
national security, and whose removal would create an
immediate labor shortage, resulting in increases in household
grocery prices, such as eggs, milk, cheese, meat, fruits, and
vegetables, for United States citizens and lawful permanent
residents, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal
years 2025 through 2034.
