Rhetorical Question: If the bill prevents shutting down the border, just how many have to be let in to establish there is no shutdown.

YOu have a deep misunderstanding of that old bill. Probably because Trump and all of his media friends (like Fox) lied to you. And you apparently like being lied to because you never seem to understand when you have been lied to.

First, the bill didn't prevent shutting down the border. Any of the reasons already existing could still be used to shut the border. The bill would have added another reason to shut the border.

Second, NO ONE HAS TO BE LET IN!!! Let me say that again. No one had to be let in to shut the border under the proposed bill. If there was an average of 5000 per day simply presenting themselves at the border, that would be a reason to shut the border. None of those presenting themselves had to be let in. All 5000 could be immediately turned away for any reason that allows us to turn away someone at the border, and that would trigger the border closing.

That second one seems to be the one that has tripped up the mindless MAGA followers. You all are hung up on letting people in - because that is the lie you have been fed.
