Just heard some newsreaders on TV say that a "compromise" bill between the House and Senate has come out. Just a TV story so far, haven't found a link yet.
Its main tenet seems to be that, if more than 8,000 illegal aliens come across the border in one month, THEN the border will be closed. No word on for how long.
Does this mean that a "quota" of 7,999 illegal aliens per month will be permitted?
Anybody else heard about this?
As far as I can tell, it is NOT an article from the Babylon Bee... though it should be.
I have found no articles describing what this compromise has inside. Here's an article from yesterday, predicting the compromise's collapse, and blaming everything on Trump of course... but giving no details:
Now, here's a CNN article giving details. It says that if an average of 4,000 illegal aliens/day cross the border during one week, they MAY close the border, and of 5,000 cross, then they MUST close the border. And if 8,500 cross on a single day, then they also MUST close the border.
This is a "compromise"???
Whatever happened to "NO ONE may cross illegally"?
Sounds to me like, "We'll cut down the number of illegal aliens crossing our border, by simply announcing they are all legal now and letting them come in freely".
I have to check the Babylon Bee. This must be in there somewhere.
Key senators cut deal to give US new power to clamp down on border crossings
Manu Raju
By Manu Raju, CNN
Senate negotiators have agreed to empower the US to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border, according to sources familiar with the matter, a move aimed at ending the migrant surge that has overrun federal authorities over the past several months.
Under the soon-to-be-released package, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrant encounters reach 4,000 over a one-week span. If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry. Certain migrants would be allowed to stay if they prove to be fleeing torture or persecution in their countries.
Moreover, if crossings exceed 8,500 in a single day, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants illegally crossing the border. Under the proposal, any migrant who tries to cross the border twice while it is closed would be banned from entering the US for one year.
LOL we know that DHS with Alejandro Mayorkas or any nasty Democrat in control would NEVER use any emergency power to shut down the border. This whole “compromise” sounds like yet another crap sandwich.
The current law is an unlimited number of people without permission are allowed in every day. They just come in and say I'd like to apply for asylum and they're in. Takes over 5 years for a hearing. Some kind of quota on that number seems more reasonable than the current law which is all of them can come in and claim assylum.
On the one hand you have the people that want all the browns deported for looking brown and on the other hand you have the people that think the current law that everyone can come in and claim assylum all the time is totally awesome. Somewhere in the middle... aka a compromise... lies the answer.
Zero illegals should be allowed. Everybody knows that's not possible, but it should be the goal. Those crossing the southern border should have to apply and get approved just like those from other countries.

No more, sorry the country is full. Why are the Democrats so hell bent in letting them in ? It has nothing to do with them being brown, i'm half "brown" myself but we don't need more dependents in this country.

Ah, the skin color/race card being played by a lefty. Typical! This issue has nothing to do with race it's about our laws and our border security. The Senate bill is simply a watered down version of the House bill. Any Republican who signs it should be voted out of office.

We should close the border to them COMPLETELY until we get rid of all the legals alredy here!
