Trump is in opposition to a bill that codifies north of 1 million illegal immigrants every year, as should most Americans be.
There's nothing stopping the democrats - who, let's not forget, owned Congress for Biden's first 2 years and did nothing - from working with the GOP and passing a border bill without the 5,000 person per day trigger provisions. - Dope

------------------

Lankford says that 5,000 trigger is not in there, at least the way it is rumored to operate, but lets say it does codify 1M or closer to 1.5M, the pluses I see are,

- A giant leap conceding that limits must exist.

- Counting the migrants is basically the same as sealing the border so the count is accurate, that also provides a giant opportunity to filter out what currently are gottaways

- The fact that a deal was made at all is an ice breaker, opening the door to future fine tuning such as reducing that 5,000 trigger. The important thing right now is that a trigger comes into existence.

- Trump will get his chance to operate this machine for four years and when the voters see what can be accomplished, they likely give DeSantis another eight year to deliver more of the same.

Anyway, I too share a concern for Biden loosing his enthusiasm for Border, especially after the check to Ukraine is cut.

But apart from that skepticism, am I missing something about the benefits I listed?

bhm, always interested in sane rebuttal.
