Bs. It was written by a conservative Congressman

The bill creates a new statutory authority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to close the border to people seeking asylum after certain “trigger numbers” have been met. If over the course of seven days, the cumulative number of people arriving at the border (at or between ports, and regardless of whether they are actually processed for asylum) reaches 4,000, the authority is discretionary. If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory.

@Big girl - you should really read bills before you comment on them. It makes you sound uninformed......

It let 5000 immigrants in per day - that's 1.8 million a year.....I'm glad that bill did not pass. 

Uhhh…that’s about 0.005% of the national population. You want it to go to 0.00?

Who should we take care of first, our own citizens or immigrants coming across illegally and trying to bypass the system. 

It is a pretty clear answer to me......

If I am guessing correctly, you haven't read it either. You are simply regurgitating what someone else wrote.

Myth- the bill will let in 5000 migrants per day

 

 If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory.

Directly from the bill.......

The one thing your word document said correctly is The President has the power alone to shut down the border (just like Trump did).....Which is why Trump is double digits ahead of Harris on the border

How can anyone be considered asylum seekers when they tote the flag of the country from which they seek asylum? That’s a deal breaker for me.

Maybe because they love their country but are oppressed by its government and have to leave or face imprisonment or worse. Ever think of that?

Duh gee Tennessee. Then why tote the flag. You tote this flag or leave. It’s as simple as that.

If Trump wins I may burn one on the county square. His flag etiquette is no less abhorrent. Are you familiar with flag etiquette? It does not include any likeness of the flag other than the Stars and Stripes. Trump and many of his supporters don’t care.
