at my request this amendment incorporates language reflecting Democratic priorities funded by the budget resolution, including smart and effective border security measures like nonintrusive inspection systems, hiring additional Customs officers for screening at lawful ports of entry, hiring additional immigration judges and asylum officers to reduce backlogs and enhance the efficiency and fairness of the asylum system. I thank the Senator from Kansas for accepting these changes, and I support his amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 3795 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
