Attorney General--
            (1) shall increase by no fewer than 700 the number of 
        positions for full-time, active-duty Border Patrol agents

        preceding fiscal year; and
            (2) may increase by not more than 300 the number of 
        positions for personnel in support of Border Patrol agents 
        above the number of such positions for which funds were 
        allotted for the preceding fiscal year.
    (b) Deployment of Personnel.--The Attorney General shall, to the 
maximum extent practicable, ensure that the personnel hired pursuant to 
subsection (a) shall be deployed among the various Immigration and 
Naturalization Service sectors in proportion to the level of illegal 
intrusion measured in each sector during the preceding fiscal year and 
reasonably anticipated in the next fiscal year, and shall be actively 
engaged in (or in support of) law enforcement activities related to the 
illegal crossing of the borders of the United States.

SEC. 112. HIRING PREFERENCE FOR BILINGUAL BORDER PATROL AGENTS.

    The Attorney General shall, in hiring the Border Patrol Agents 
specified in section 111(a), give priority to the employment of 
multilingual candidates who are proficient in both English and such 
other language or languages as may be spoken in the region in which 
such Agents are likely to be deployed.

SEC. 113. IMPROVED BORDER PATROL TRAINING.

    Section 103 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1103)

other immigrants, in the course of their official duties, receive in-
service training adequate to ensure that all such personnel respect the 
rights, personal safety, and dignity of such persons at all times.
    ``(2) The Attorney General shall ensure that the annual report to 
Congress of the Service--
            ``(A) describes in detail actions taken by the Attorney 
        General to meet the requirement set forth in paragraph (1);
            ``(B) incorporates specific findings by the Attorney 
        General with respect to the nature and scope of any verified

transfer to the Department of Justice by any other agency of the 
Federal Government upon request of the Attorney General.
    (b) Improved Infrastructure.--(1) The Attorney General may, from 
time to time, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury,

United States in accordance with existing policies and procedures of 
the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the United States Customs 
Service, and the Drug Enforcement Agency.
    (2) Such improvements to the infrastructure of the land border of 
the United States shall be substantially completed and fully funded in 
those portions of the United States where the Attorney General, in 
consultation with the Committees on the Judiciary of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate, objectively determines the need to be 
greatest or most immediate before the Attorney General may obligate 
funds for construction of any improvement otherwise located.

 PART B--EXPANDED BORDER INSPECTION PERSONNEL, SUPPORT, AND FACILITIES

SEC. 121. ADDITIONAL LAND BORDER INSPECTORS.

    (a) Increased Personnel.--In order to eliminate undue delay in the

enter the United States, the Attorney General and Secretary of the 
Treasury shall increase, by approximately equal numbers in each of the 
fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the number of full-time land border 
inspectors assigned to active duty by the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service and the United States Customs Service to a level 
adequate to assure full staffing during peak crossing hours of all 
border crossing lanes now in use, under construction, or whose 
construction has been authorized by Congress.
    (b) Deployment of Personnel.--The Attorney General and the 
Secretary of the Treasury shall, to the maximum extent practicable, 
ensure that the personnel hired pursuant to subsection (a) shall be 
deployed among the various Immigration and Naturalization Service 
sectors in proportion to the number of land border crossings measured 
in each such sector during the preceding fiscal year.

            ``(1) the alien has exhausted any administrative remedies 
        that may have been available to seek relief against such order;
            ``(2) the deportation proceedings at which the order was

        under section 143 of this Act, except that, in the absence of a 
        stipulation, the United States District Court or the United 
        States Magistrate Court, may order deportation as a condition 
        of probation, if, after notice and hearing pursuant to section 
        242A(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney 
        General demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the

        order of deportation from the United States as a condition of

                    (A) is not in lawful immigration status in the 
                United States, or
                    (B) on the basis of conviction of a criminal 
                offense under Federal or State law, or on any other 
                basis, is subject to deportation under the Immigration 
                and Nationality Act,
for the duration of the prison term to which the individual was 
sentenced for the offense referred to in subparagraph (B). Any such 
agreement may provide for the release of such individual pursuant to 
parole procedures of that country.

individuals in the United States.
    (c) It is the sense of the Congress that, effective on the date of

        Justice to ensure the prompt removal from the United States of 
        criminal aliens subject to exclusion or deportation; and

           TITLE II--ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INCENTIVE REDUCTION

                    PART A--PUBLIC BENEFITS CONTROL

SEC. 211. AUTHORITY TO STATES AND LOCALITIES TO LIMIT ASSISTANCE TO 
              ALIENS AND TO DISTINGUISH AMONG CLASSES OF ALIENS IN 
              PROVIDING GENERAL PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.

    (a) In General.--Subject to subsection (b) and notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, a State or local government may prohibit or 
otherwise limit or restrict the eligibility of aliens or classes of 
aliens for programs of general cash public assistance furnished under 
the law of the State or a political subdivision of a State.
    (b) Limitation.--The authority under subsection (a) may be 
exercised only to the extent that any prohibitions, limitations, or 
restrictions are not inconsistent with the eligibility requirements for 
comparable Federal programs or are less restrictive. For the purposes 
of this section, attribution to an alien of a sponsor's income and 
resources for purposes of determining the eligibility for and amount of 
benefits of an alien shall be considered less restrictive than a 
prohibition of eligibility.

        term under section 293(c)(1);
            ``(2) the term `unlawful alien' has the meaning given such

                incurred by any Federal, State, or political 
                subdivision of a State for general public cash 
                assistance provided to such alien;

                        the contract; and
                    (C) that the sponsor's responsibility under the 
                contract will continue until the date on which the 
                alien becomes a citizen of the United States.
            (2) Guidelines for health insurance policies.--Not later 
        than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services, after notice and 
        opportunity for public comment, shall establish minimum

                required; and
                    (B) provide that the Attorney General shall be

        the terms of the contract described in subsection (b)(1)(B) 
        may, subject to the contract, be grounds for deportation of the

        procedures applicable under such Act.
