So you can stop calling me a liar
Here''s the bill from a pro-immigration site
So firstly...."
could" not "
shall" is the initial activation trigger and nothing... NOTHING in the Biden's admin's approach to the border flood over the past 3.5 years would lead ANYONE to think they would use that.
And the second is it became "
mandatory" only if the # is
>5000...so anything over that over a 7-day period would require mandatory action but then if the cartels scale it to be <5000...then there's nothing mandatory about it
What This Bill Would Do
A“Border Emergency Authority”AddingaNew,Restrictive,andOpaqueProcessuntilBorderCrossingsReachVeryLowLevels
The “trigger” authority—called the “Border Emergency Authority”—wouldenable the administration to summarilydeportmigrants who enter between ports of entrywithoutpermittingthem to apply for asylum.
Thenew emergency authoritycould be activated if borderencountersreach a daily average of 4,000over a period of sevendays andwould becomemandatory once border encounters reachover5,000over a period of seven daysor 8,500 over a single calendar day.
