IGotWorms 4,057 Posted February 5, 2024 Oh this too: The measure includes $20.2 billion to pay for improvements to border security, including hiring new asylum officers and border security agents, expanding the number of available detention beds and increasing screenings for fentanyl and other illicit drugs.

Hardcore troubadour 14,934 Posted February 5, 2024 3 minutes ago, IGotWorms said: Sounds like something the MAGA crowd should want The bill features some of the most significant border security restrictions Congress has contemplated in years. They include making it more difficult to claim asylum, vastly expanding detention capacity and effectively shutting down the border to new entrants if more than an average of 5,000 migrants per day try to cross over unlawfully in the course of a week, or more than 8,500 attempt to cross in any given day.

jonnyutah 248 Posted February 5, 2024 This is a terrible bill. The 5000 threshold is moveable. Biden can arbitrarily accept extra thousands from venezuela on a whim. But sure, yeah, we can trust them this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dizkneelande 1,085 Posted February 5, 2024 So this is example 2084 in the past 3 years where us smart posters already knew most of these details. The braindead lefties who get all their info from corporate news sources claimed this was all false and none of the details have been released yet. Its even worse than we thought it would be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 5,186 Posted February 5, 2024 8 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: This is the main holdup. What do you think this influx is all about? Tell us. Even that is misleading. The bill also says that if you're an illegal and you get 100 miles from the border or elude capture for 14 days in the U.S. you don't count towards the 5000 per day average. So that number in reality is much larger than 5000 per day, especially if the administration decides not to catch illegals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isnt even a deal. And it is not better than nothing. This literally does nothing to work the flow back from where we are. It simply makes everything they are doing now legal. Right now they should be detaining people until hearings. They dont. They release them. That is a violation of current immigration law. This bill makes that totally ok. And even worse it makes them allowed to legally displace american workers because they get a permit day one. I would rather we just give ukraine and israel their money and throw the rest of this crap sandwich overboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still need to learn more but, at present, I'm inclined to support it. Thank you, agreed. But let’s get to what’s really going on here: 1. the bill could help Biden: 2. the bill could hurt Trump. 3. Congress is controlled by Republicans. 4. Therefore the bill will not pass. It’s smart politics for the Democrats to attack Trump over this, and I’ll continue to do so, but in all honesty this sort of agreement NEVER happens in a Presidential election year. If you want a bipartisan deal of this sort, you need to get it done on the first year AFTER the election. That’s your window. Otherwise all of these dudes on both sides are too interested in pleasing their base to ever be willing to work with the other side, whom they have to castigate as the enemy in order to retain or grow their power. That’s our system. It kind of sucks but I’ve no idea how to fix it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
