Subject: Re: Why the border bill will fail
Not triggering the so-called enhanced provisions unless 5,000 people cross the border illegally a day very much codifies it into law.
No, it doesn't. The current code provides for no enhanced provisions no matter how many people cross the border. Whatever crisis exists is already codified into law.
You've been lied to. I just showed you the numbers. The triggers don't do anything unless we have numbers that are among the worst we've ever seen.
What are you talking about? Encounters have exceed that threshold every month for the last three years:

Were you aware that the bill directs *all *immigration* cases to the 5th circuit court? They'll strike down that provision the second it comes across their docket.
On what grounds?
