Subject: Why the border bill will fail
In one chart. No, I don't care that it's a chart on social media because it points to the right data:

Processing Disposition Oct-23 Nov-23 Dec-23
Notice To Appear/Own Recognizance (NTA-OR) 122,716 131,295 191,141
The bill will fail because this is what it essentially locks in as a matter of law. 5,000 illegals per day = 150,000 a month before any triggers take place. (And that's assuming Biden wouldn't just ignore it, as the law lets him do. That part is called the President determining that closing the border is not in the national interest.)
Why is this a good thing? It's not. It's absurd, and this is why the bill won't get past its cloture vote.
democrats can complain that this is real reform, won't get this again, yadda yadda yadda but none of you can escape the reality of the numbers above. And for those of you who complain about source material in lieu of debating issues...this is the CBP's own data.
