No. of Recommendations: 9
So basically, you're whole exercise is partisan politics and most likely not something you really believe.
No. You've been shown the bill now.
Biden is free to ignore the law if he deems that "it's in the national interest".As I've said b4 the only people ignoring the law are Abbott, and since you approve of ignoring the law - YOU. And you are a challenged partisan hack.
Let's see-
"The nearly 400-page package also includes sweeping bipartisan immigration legislation that would:
#Raise the bar for migrants claiming asylum. ME: GOOD
#Clarify the White House’s use of parole authority to temporarily grant protections to migrants. ME: GOOD
#Create a procedure to shut down the border at particularly active times. GOOD
#End the practice of allowing migrants to live in the United States while they wait for their cases to be heard by an immigration judge." GOOD.
Well this is excellent so far but I realize it's 400 pages. Cue the machine learning to analyze the border. Nah, it'll take a little time to wrk through, but here's a 19 page summary.
https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do..."The bill makes changes to credible fear of persecution standards for asylum and for the expedited removal of those asylum seekers who don’t qualify. There would be $3.99 billion provided for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to hire 4,338 asylum officers." GOOD
"The package includes $20.23 billion to “address existing operational needs and expand capabilities at our nation’s borders, resource the new border policies included in the package, and help stop the flow of fentanyl and other narcotics,” according to a summary from Murray’s office" GOOD
"The legislation would prohibit additional U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, following allegations from Israel that several of its staffers participated in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The Biden administration has paused funding for UNRWA while the investigation is ongoing, but many, including McConnell have called for a full cutoff in U.S. aid" GOOD
"The legislation would give the secretary of Homeland Security
the option to shut down the border if, during a period of seven consecutive days, more than 4,000 encounters are recorded with migrants. " DOUBLE GOOD
"If that number reaches 5,000 encounters for a period of seven consecutive days, the U.S. would be required to shut down the border." DOUBLE SECRET GOOD
Sinema said during a Sunday morning interview on the CBS show “Face the Nation” that the proposed policy would be a “powerful tool.”
That tool would be known as a border emergency authority and is temporary and would sunset within three years, according to the bill text. Some exceptions to that authority include unaccompanied minors and victims of human trafficking.
“The reason we’re doing that is because we want to be able to shut down the system when it gets overloaded, so we have enough time to process those asylum claims,” Sinema said." GRADE A GOOD

The average over two weeks of 5000 is met every day now, so it could go into immediate effect. We send people back across the border. If during the two weeks afterwards, there are over 5000 encounters a day average the threshold is met, the border remains shut down, so you have a continuous rolling forward average. It is possible that the border remains shut indefinitely unless the border crossers get organized. If we have 5001 border crossers (assuming no exceptions) that are expelled and return and cross the next day, those are all new encounters and the shut down remains in effect. So it is possible for the same 5001 border crossers to keep the border shut down.Cue the accusations that lack substance and bogus claims they were right without stating what they were right about and why.
