Have you actually read the bill?

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-669

Which of the following do you think we should have in this

Many native species have been crowded out or can't compete
with invasives. One that comes to mind is the European
Starling, a most annoying and destructive pest which someone
saw fit to introduce to America over 100 years ago. All of
the millions of them in this country came from an initial
group of 100 birds.
