Congress Border Bill Deal Failed Over a ‘Dirty Dozen’ Reasons – A Refresher

No doubt tonight during the Vice Presidential debate, the bromide about the border and Trump behind the border bill not passing will be resurrected. The well known reason used often by GOP is the allowance of at least 5000 illegals to cross before anything happens to stop it. There never is discussed the GOP House Bill HR 1 that previously did pass regarding immigration.

But that is not the half of it nor the worst of it.  A short hand list was out on “X”

Why the Senate Border Deal FAILED:

1–Codify Catch/Release

2–Let in 1.8M Illegals

3–Fund Sanctuary Cities

4–Fund NGOs Moving Illegals

5–Lawyers to Illegals

6–Work Permits to Illegals

7–Nothing to Deport Illegals

8–No Immediate Wall Funds

9–Weak Asylum Screening

10–$60B to Ukraine

We Need To Set The Record Straight’: Byron Donalds Sounds Off On Bipartisan Senate Border Bill

Donalds gave a refresher at a hearing last week. He covers the border bill topic in the first minute or so before going on to other things.

This section alone in the bill, letting Mayorkas decide what evidence would be sufficient to approve asylum requests and remove judicial oversight from asylum claims, putting illegal immigrants on a fast track to citizenship, is sufficient reason to nuke that bill into orbit.

Mike Lee put together “The dirty dozen” reasons the bill didn’t pass with a much better analysis.

Senator Lee Releases “Dirty Dozen” Disasters in So-Called “Border Deal”

Here is the link to the list.

Former President Donald Trump effectively ended catch-and-release when he implemented the Remain in Mexico program, requiring illegal immigrants to wait in Mexico until their immigration cases had been adjudicated. President Biden halted the program the day he took office in 2021.

Pointing to the bill’s Section 235B, Mr. Lee explained that catch-and-release would be codified because the bill gives the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “unchecked authority to release an alien into the United States under ineffective ‘alternatives to detention.’”

The second flaw highlighted by Mr. Lee involves the authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security and the president.

“The Secretary of Homeland Security is only required to shut down the border if there are 5,000 average illegal crossings over a consecutive seven-day period or 8,500 in a single day,” Mr. Lee said.

A caveat to that is that the president can “reopen the border any time it is in the ‘national interest to temporarily suspend the border emergency authority’ for up to 45 days.”

Further, the bill “creates a dangerous expansion of parole by saying it can now be granted for anyone the DHS secretary determines has an ‘urgent humanitarian reason,’” Mr. Lee said. The bill doesn’t require the DHS secretary or president to deport anyone.

The bill allows illegal immigrants to be given work permits as soon as they pass an initial screening by immigration authorities.

The number of available green cards is increased by 50,000 annually under the new bill.

The bill also includes a budgeting gimmick whereby $650 million of the funding for continuing to build the border wall begun by President Trump is rescinded, then restored in 2028. Not a single foot of new wall would be built as a result.
