So every article I've read about this "5000 per day" issue always had a caveat built into it. So I checked into this caveat. The republicans never go into the details about this. Just make the 5000 per day claim and move on without explanation. So I did some checking on this caveat.
For example:
Conservative activists are recoiling as details leak from the immigration deal being negotiated in the Senate suggesting illegal border crossers will be immediately eligible for work permits and the government will allow up to 5,000 illegal immigrants a day before expulsion powers take effect.
Mike Johnsons comment:
“It is illegal to cross our border. But apparently, we’re concocting some sort of deal to allow the president to shut down the border after 5,000 people break the law," Johnson, R-La., said last month before the text had been released.
Turns out, that was the limit until emergency authorizations would kick in and deport immediately those cause crossing illegally. And a few other things, once that number has been reached.
