"Everyone gets asylum these days"?? Albaby already detailed that about 40% of hearings result in asylum. The other 60% get sent home. And that's only the asylees that make it to a hearing...many are screened and declared ineligible on the first interview (I forgot the percentage now). So, no...no automatic work permits. Not even close. Work permits are preferable to supporting people with "welfare" while they await their hearings. Costs taxpayers a lot less.
Yes, I knew about the port of entry provision. It's still better control than what we have now.
No, I'm not going to click on a twitter link. I don't care if it's Hannity or Biden. No difference to me. Social media is not refereed or moderated in any way. It's a shit-show. Journalist reporting is the gold standard because -if they do their jobs- they report what -for example- Biden says, and then tell us what he got right and what he got wrong.
And, no, I'm not going to do the heavy lifting to prove every crackpot statement from twitter is wrong. You have to prove it is correct. Just like I can't prove there is no teapot orbiting Saturn right now. And I don't need to. The person making that assertion needs to prove there is one. If you want to prove a twitter link, by all means...link a relevant article or the actual page of text from the bill, and we can talk. I'm not going to go chasing teapots.
Democrats are mostly focused on the Ukraine funding and stopping Putin (something the GOP of old would have been clamoring for, say in Reagan's day). So they are giving a lot that they don't want to do to get it. You watch next year, if this comes up, Dems won't be willing to give up anything because you won't have anything they want. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get some provisions Reps have been wanting for a decade or more. But I do agree with you that it is dead because Trump wants his campaign issue.
