I 113th CONGRESS 2d Session H. R. 5316 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 31, 2014 Mr. Stockman introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary , and in addition to the Committees on Homeland Security , Ways and Means , Armed Services , and Foreign Affairs , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned A BILL To secure the border between the United States and Mexico.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Safely Exacting Cautious Useful Rules for Immigration This Year (SECURITY) Act . 2. Findings and declaration of policy (a) The Congress finds that: (1) An estimated 11,800,000 aliens reside in the United States in contravention of Federal immigration law. (2) The construction of a double-layered fence along the entire Southern Border reduces illegal immigration, decreases cross-border smuggling, and enables the effective deployment of manpower, as demonstrated by the San Diego sector where a fence was built in 2004. (3) Aliens, such as the El Salvadoran national and MS–13 gang members Kevin Fabricio Claros Cantarero and Julio Martinez, have attempted to use applications for asylum in order to reside in the United States. (4) The closing of Border Patrol stations, such as in June 2011, and failure to deploy the National Guard to assist the Border Patrol, such as during the border crisis of June 2014, impaired the ability of law enforcement to secure the border. (5) The backlog of immigration cases, in which 87 percent of cases where ICE filed Notices to Appear between 2009 to 2014 are still pending in 2014, could be addressed if Congress knew the number of judges needed in immigration courts. (6) Illegal aliens, despite being ineligible, received $4.2 billion in additional child tax credits from the United States Treasury in 2010 by applying with an individual taxpayer identification number. (7) Aliens have been applying for and receiving public benefits from Federal, State, and local governments in substantially burdensome levels, such as $791.6 million covered by California taxpayers in 2013. (b) The Congress further finds and declares that it serves a compelling government interest of the United States to— (1) establish and regularly evaluate the security at United States borders using the same metric; (2) construct a double-layered fence along the entire Southern Border of the United States; (3) provide adequate manpower for enforcement of immigration laws, sufficient judges to address the backlog in immigration courts, and the appropriate number of beds and facilities to meet immigration detention needs; (4) end the release of dangerous criminal aliens and the likelihood of foreign gang members using refugee and asylee status to reside in the United States; and (5) remove incentives for illegal immigration provided by the availability of public benefits. 3. Achieving and maintaining operational control of the border (a) Plan Not later than 180 days of the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall develop and submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate a plan to achieve and maintain operational control of the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States. The Secretary shall begin implementing the plan immediately following its submission. (b) Definition of operational control of the border For purposes of this Act, the term operational control means the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband. Any changes to the definition of operational control as defined in this Act must be approved by Congress. (c) Report and certification (1) Not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate a report on the progress made toward achieving and maintaining operational control of the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States. Such report shall contain an analysis of the reason why, if any, operational control has not been achieved or maintained, and steps the Department will take to meet its goal of operational control. (2) Within 30 days of receiving the report, the respective committees in subsection (1) must certify whether operational control has been met. (d) Failure To achieve operational control If the Department of Homeland Security fails to achieve or maintain operational control, then twenty-five percent of the Department’s Under Secretary for Management’s budget will be cut and redistributed to Customs and Border Protection to go toward surveillance and interdiction activities. 4. Construction and completion of reinforced double-layered fencing along the southern border (a) Section 564 of division E of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 ( Public Law 110–161 ) is hereby repealed. (b) Plan The Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish a plan to construct double-layered reinforced fencing as required under section 3 of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 ( Public Law 109–367 ). Such plan must be submitted by the Secretary within 180 days of enactment of this Act to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate. The plan shall include annual deadlines to complete a proportion of the total construction of the fence, with the entirety of the fence to be completed no later than 10 years from the date of the submission of the plan. (c) Report Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a report on the progress of the fence to the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate. The report shall include whether planned objectives have been achieved by the Secretary’s proposed deadline, and detailed reasons why such deadline, if any, has not been met. (d) If the Secretary of Homeland Security does not submit a plan or fencing progress reports as required by subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the budget of the Secretary of Homeland Security shall be reduced by twenty-five percent and redistributed to Customs and Border Protection operations along the border where the fence has not yet been constructed. 5.
