Subject: Re: Senate Border Bill Details...
BMH: Lapsody, thanks for the link to that summary, lots there, I was specifically looking for this rumored sunset after three years provision. I could not find it explicitly, but did find this on Page 13
• Provides that the authority shall not be activated for more than 270 days in the first
calendar year, 225 days in the second calendar year, and 180 days in the third calendar year.
This caps the use of border shutdown authority in year 1, lowers the cap in year 2, lowers it further in year 3. No mention of what happens in year 4? Maybe some undiscovered cause does say there is not a year 4.
Yah, I don't get that. That goes contrary to things I've read that it could be closed all year theoretically. The reducing cap changes my mind about a potential sunset. I'm going to have to look at that. Thanks for pointing that out :)
