Here is the fuller list of whats in the bill, explained to you by a Republican:
Republican Senator Lankford explains:
- More border wall construction
- Increase of 50,000 detention beds
- Ends "catch and release"
- Doubles the deportation flights
- Money for DNA testing to catch criminals
- Money for border state law enforcement
- Increased number of ICE agents
- Increased number of border patrol agents
- Increased number of asylum officers
- Increased number of immigration judges
- Detection equipment to screen for fentanyl
- Increase sanction authority on drug cartels
- More difficult to qualify for asylum
- Faster deportation process
- Ends abuse of parole on our southern border
The most important provision of the bill is the 5,000 migrant encounters Border Emergency Authority!
This doesn't means 5,000 people get to come in every day. It means 5,000 people are detained, screened, and deported.This 5,000 level of the Border Emergency Authority means that if the border ever becomes overwhelmed (which it is right now), then the border automatically shuts down under federal law. NOBODY is being screened if this happens. NOBODY is getting in if this happens. Everyone is just detained and deported without being screened.
President Biden would have no ability to stop this under federal law if this bill passed. President Biden would be unable to keep the border open at these levels even if he wanted to.
This is what you idiots say not to in exchange for kissing Trump's ring and screwing Ukraine.
