Bipartisan Border Bill: Worse than Skeptics Predicted

The Senateโ€™s draft border bill that promised to reduce migration chaos at the border actually invites a greater inflow by welcoming migrants who seek jobs or claim asylum.

โ€œIโ€™ve seen enough,โ€ said a Sunday evening tweet from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), adding:

This bill is even worse than we expected, and wonโ€™t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, โ€œthe border never closes.โ€

The phrase โ€œthe border never closesโ€ is a much-replayed quote from the top Democratic negotiator, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).

In a series of Sunday evening tweets, Murphy gloated that Democratsโ€™ promised curb on illegal migration โ€” including a much-touted border โ€œshutdownโ€ process โ€” are trumped by many pro-migration rules:

A quicker, fairer asylum process. No more 10 yr wait. Claims processed in a non-detained, non-adversarial way in 6 months. A slightly higher asylum screening standard at the border. Also, no more waiting for work permits. Most asylum seekers can work immediately.

A brand new right to legal representation for all immigrants. Remember when Trump denied lawyers to victims of the Muslim ban?

Andโ€ฆthe first ever government paid-for lawyers for young unaccompanied minors. A long standing injustice righted.

A requirement the President to funnel asylum claims to the land ports of entry when more than 5,000 people cross a day. The border never closes, but claims must be processed at the ports. This allows for a more a more orderly, humane asylum processing system.

Butโ€ฆimportant checks on that power. It can only be used for a limited number of days per year. It sunsets in 3 years. Emergency cases that show up in between the ports still need to be accepted. The ports must process a minimum of 1400 claims a day.

โ€œDemocrats proudly proclaim new border law โ€˜never closesโ€™ the border and, of course, the entire $115 billion will be borrowed,โ€ said a tweet from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). โ€œNothing, absolutely nothing, conservative about this deal.โ€

โ€œโ€™The border never closesโ€™ -chief Democrat negotiator on the Senate bill,โ€ tweeted Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). โ€œThatโ€™s all you need to know.โ€
