in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress states its view that the Bureau of Border Security and the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services matter equally and both deserve enough funding. Congress also says the functions moved to these bureaus should not operate below their pre-transfer levels after November 25, 2002.

This section is a "sense of Congress" — a statement of Congress's opinion, not a binding command. Congress states that: (1) the missions of the Bureau of Border Security and the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services are equally important, so both bureaus should be adequately funded; and (2) the government functions transferred to these bureaus should not, after the transfer took effect, be carried out at a level lower than they were carried out at before November 25, 2002.
