Mr. President, this bill does not apply to people apprehended outside the United States. It does not apply to you at all if you are not a U.S. citizen or a lawful resident on U.S. soil at the time of your apprehension. This should not be controversial. This, in fact, is made noncontroversial by the Constitution itself. I urge you to vote no on this motion to table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
