The bill is BS. They won’t start removing people until and unless you have 5,000 encounters PER DAY at the border.

In other words, this bill codifies the current flood into law. That’s insane. - Dope

I agree 5,000 is way too many, especially until we digest the 8 or 9 million Biden already has let in. But as long as Abbott keeps shipping them to sanctuary cities, the pressure will still be on to reduce that number.

At least we will have a tool. Future legislation can change that number up (dem) or down(rep) as the ebb and flow of politics grinds on. Maybe that is how it should be.

It's a start.

However there are still huge things that must be learned about the bill, effect on gottaways for example, and escalation of ever harsher penalties on repeat offenders, making overstaying a visa a crime and empowering immediate deportation, more courts, more detention facilities, end catch and release , restart remain in Mexico...

Sen Jim Lankford was on Fox today assuring in an interview that the 5,000 trigger will not be in the final bill when the committee releases it.

Talk is cheap...
