This resolution sets the rules for immediate floor consideration of a measure to secure the border and reform immigration laws. It says the House must begin considering the measure as soon as the resolution is adopted. All points of order against taking up the measure and against its provisions are waived. The measure is considered as read. Debate is limited to one hour, split equally and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee (or their designees). There is one motion to recommit. Two specific House rules provisions (clause 1(c) of rule XIX and clause 8 of rule XX) do not apply. The Clerk must notify the Senate that the House passed the measure within three calendar days after passage.
This resolution governs how the House will debate and vote on the immigration and border-security measure. It does not itself change immigration rules or create new programs. Instead, it speeds consideration by waiving procedural objections, limiting debate, and allowing a single motion to recommit.
