“During an emergency closure, Border Patrol would still need to process a minimum of 1,400 migrants who try to enter the U.S.”
Immigration deals are always gruesome jokes. They’re like watching a three-card monte routine in which the huckster isn’t even trying to hide that the whole thing is rigged. And the much-hyped Senate border deal is more of the same. By now everyone knows the drill. A border deal consists of legalizing illegal aliens and allowing more to come in exchange for security and enforcement measures that have more loopholes in them than a pasta strainer.
Take the “emergency closure” element of the border deal which is the big pitch for border security.
DHS could close the border if Border Patrol encountered 4,000 or more migrants on average over seven days. The border would have to be shut down if those encounters reached a seven-day average of 5,000 or if they exceeded 8,500 in a single day.
Since the Biden admin coordinates this stuff with the Mexican authority and various nonprofits guiding the invaders., it’s simple enough to make sure that border crossings remain under the trigger, especially since the whole point of the deal is providing “alternatives” and “legal pathways” to reduce migrant encounters.
That may not go according to plan, but even if it does…
The border couldn’t be shut down under this authority for more than 270 days in the first year. And the bill would give the president the power to suspend a border closure “on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it is in the national interest.”
An authority that you can bet Biden will use. But what does an “emergency closure” even mean?
During an emergency closure, Border Patrol would still need to process a minimum of 1,400 migrants who try to enter the U.S. legally through ports of entry. Only unaccompanied minors would be able to cross between ports of entry.
A minimum of 1,400 migrants!
And all the “unaccompanied minors” who may well be 25-year-old cartel members will get a free pass.
Who doesn’t want an “emergency border closure” that will allow a minimum of 1,400 invaders a day?
(By the way, here’s one of my favorite poison pills in this thing. “Nothing in this section may be construed to interfere with any rights or responsibilities established through a settlement agreement in effect before the date of the enactment of this section.”
Will the Biden administration possibly enter into any settlements with illegal alien advocate groups before the date? The Magic 8-ball says, “Yes, obviously. What were you born yesterday?”)
We define “border security” very differently. Not to mention “emergency” and “closure.” Before any further border deals, Republicans and Democrats should really agree on a dictionary of common definitions. Like a common definition of closure.

The entire ‘deal’ is an evil farce. They are supposed to limit the criminals from coming in **if** the ones “encountered” reach a certain number per week. And at the same time, allow other criminals to pass right on in free as a bird.
What about the ones who are “unencountered” by patrol? How many can there be coming across who are in the unnumbered “unencountered”?
I saw a headline last night about a 60 Minutes program on the criminals…(they are) coming in from China. It said something like “20 every half hour” just walking across through a hole in the fence in CA. The reporter even helped one criminal chinese who was caught in the wire…or about to be. She interviewed a few…all were coming to have *better* jobs or open a business. Of course, none admitted to any nefarious reasons…like working for one of those chinese labs using lethal pathogens.
If china is still the most populated nation in the world, it may soon lose that designation to the U.S. Thousands add up to millions very quickly. And thousands of “caught” or “encountered” are only the ones who want to be caught and released…like fish which will grow larger and multiply. Multiply that number by the ones hiding from the get-go.

That awful “no secure US /Mexican border policy” of Joe Biden and his VP Kamala Harris in charge of it is a catastrophe in many ways.
To give only a few examples out of many is that drug trafficking and forced sex trafficking has terribly increased since Biden has been in Office.
Likewise many criminal gangs who deal in drugs as well as rape and murder , steal ,loot and do other heinous criminal activities , as the despicable vicious street gangsters known as MS -13 , have now quickly by US porous borders .
A number of Hamas , Hezbollah ISIS , al Qaeda jihadists and members other similar jihad terror murder Islamic entities have entered America through porous US /Mexican borders in the scheming intentions of inflecting murderous destruction in Americans and America. The furtherance of the spread of the dreaded coronavirus across the USA starting from the porous border area , all thanks to that dangerous and subversive pseudo President Biden.
Bogus President Biden must truly like is porous US /Mexican borders to ruin America. What a treasonous despicable fiend Biden must actually be.
Socialist Joe Biden is under ,very much under the control and influence of that Communist VP Kamala Harris are together are sinister plot wreck to wreck the USA are both , with their Red/Green alliance are the epitome of evil and destruction.
As Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”

The wisdom of the ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, is revealed when he had written, “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
Therefore, “the measure” of Joe Biden is outright terrible, as observed by his awful “no secure. US/ Mexican porous border policy” which results in dangerous and deadly Hamas Hezbollah, ISIS and al Qaeda jihadists entering into America as well as highly dangerous criminal gangs , as for example, MS-13.
When people of the United States murdered by those jihadists in an Islamic terrorists attack creepy old, Joe will have their blood on his vile and wicked hands.

This bill is garbage. Here on the border we’re hearing that the numbers only apply to people coming across from Mexico or Canada. Unlimited numbers from every other country will still be able to come right in. I’m trying to confirm the rumors I’ve been hearing.

GE, can you tell when was the last time that the government told us the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth?
They have to want it to be as bad as it is; otherwise, they would keep it from being as bad as it is.

Ronald Reagan had in a speech,rightly and wisely , declared that “A nation without borders is not a nation.”
