This amendment furthers the major drafting problems in this legislation by asking the Attorney General to report on how the so-called Biden border crisis impacted law enforcement recruiting. As I said earlier, there is no definition for the ``Biden border crisis,'' and this amendment highlights just how unserious this legislation is. How on Earth is the Attorney General supposed to determine how the border impacts law enforcement recruitment? Are local law enforcement agencies going to have to go to all the candidates who turned down job offers and ask them if their decision was influenced by the border? This bill is a huge waste of time, and this amendment serves only to make this poorly drafted bill even more incomprehensible. I, therefore, oppose its adoption, and I encourage my colleagues to oppose it, as well. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. D'Esposito). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Nunn The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in part B of House Report 118-511.
