“The term ``potential sponsor'' means an individual or entity who applies for the custody of an unaccompanied alien child.”
The section defines a potential sponsor as an individual or entity applying for custody of an unaccompanied alien child, and takes the meaning of unaccompanied alien child from section 462(g) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
What the document actually says
“The term ``potential sponsor'' means an individual or entity who applies for the custody of an unaccompanied alien child.”
That sentence, in plain words
The term covers anyone who asks to take a child in. It may be a person or a body.
What this is about
The child must be an unaccompanied alien child. An older law says what that means. That law is not indexed here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
