Subject: Re: We Don't Know Who We're Deporting
bighairymike: We have been over and over that vacuous border bill that Biden attempted in the last moments of the Biden Admin. That bill would allow up to 5,000 illegals a day to cross into our country...

No, Umm is right: you're wrong, and you're a moron.

As has been explained before, under the bill migrants would not have been able to just cross the border illegally and the practice of "catch and release" would have ended.

Instead, migrants who tried to cross the border illegally would be detained immediately, with their asylum claims decided while they were in detention. People would be removed immediately within 15 days if they failed their asylum claim interviews.

Then, migrants who came to the U.S. border at official ports of entry would have been diverted to a new "removal authority program" in which they would have 90 days to make their initial asylum interviews. Those migrants would not be released into the interior of the U.S., either; they would either be detained or kept under government supervision.

And again, migrants who failed their initial asylum interviews would have been removed immediately.

Got it? None of those asylum seekers would have been released into the United States.

Your "5,000 migrants a day getting into the United States" was completely made up fiction by King Donald, repeated by congressional republicans and other useful idiots.

The only "5,000" number pertained to a seven-day average of 5,000 migrants arriving at the border which would have mandated a complete border closure. If the number exceeded 8,500 in a single day, there would also have been a mandatory border closure.

Migrants encountered between ports of entry would have been immediately turned away. If the same person tried to cross twice when the border was shut down between ports of entry, the person would have been barred from entering the U.S. for one year.

In addition, the bill would have placed many asylum determinations in the hands of asylum officers rather than judges in the interest of expediency.

So, again:

No more "catch and release".

No 5,000 migrants entering the United States per day.

Immediate removal of anyone who failed a screening interview.

Migrants who passed an initial screening interview were detained and not released into the United States.

Border patrol officers were given authority to turn away asylum seekers to reduce the numbers eligible to see a judge.

And much more.

And sorry, you're still an uninformed moron.
