Senate negotiators unveil long-sought border deal
The Hill ^

Posted on 02/04/2024 4:24:52 PM PST by FarCenter

The deal includes provisions to raise standards for asylum screening and to process claims faster, ends the practice known as “catch and release,” and provides a new authority to close the border when crossings reach a set threshold.

The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component.

Lankford called it “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border and give future administrations the effective tools they need to stop the border chaos and protect our nation.”

We are committing national suicide and half these assholes don’t even recognize it.

They have probably been paid off in one way or another.

Helping some aliens can easily intensify problems from whence they came because remittances can raise housing and other costs in their homelands.

The problems will become so intense that half of most villages will have to head to Western countries.

The aliens have to be sent home and told to fix their homeland.

These aliens aren’t fleeing Adolf Hitler, the SS and Zyklon B.

People like Lankford and Joe Biden may think they are helping, but they are destabilizing many countries, including the USA.

Peter Santenello has 6 YouTube videos of the US Border. Highly recommend.

Most were filmed a year ago. Ride alongside with sheriffs and members of the community along our Southern border wall/ no wall. Illegals being processed and cartels.

One of the videos shows a construction company contracted to build the wall. It was paid in advance and then Biden halted construction. The company and employees are still near the border getting paid to do nothing.

Really eye opening the vast open land etc as I usually only see short repeat snippets on the news.

The deal is to not solve the problem but just remove this as an issue in the 2024 election in order to help the deep state.

"...when crossings reach a set threshold."

What unmitigated BS!
This bill is the proverbial "knife in the back"...
Nothing in it gets rid of the 60-million migrant invader vermin already inside the gates...

This pinko-supporter named Lankford needs to be primaried... As do everyone else in the GOP that signs on...
Lankford is a stinking piece of barack obama...

For those looking through the bill for the quota, it’s on page 212:

(B) MANDATORY ACTIVATION.— The Secretary shall activate the border emergency authority if —

(i) during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day; or

(ii) on any 1 calendar day, a combined total of 8,500 or more aliens are encountered.

Any RINO who signs on to this deal should immediately be primaried.

Biden could end this foreign invasion the same way he started it; with the stroke of a pen.

Do Langford, Mitch, and their compliant drones really think the voters are that stupid?

ONLY if ‘closing the border’ (something Biden could do any day of the week, BTW) is stipulated that the ‘threshold equals one.’

And there is no money not already programmed needed. Screw their ‘deal.’

“The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component. “

Who wants to bet the bulk of that 20 billion ends up in sanctuary jurisdictions that have been whining they want Fed money to support their virtue and reimburse them for their free stuff giveaway that encourages other migrants to breach the border. Very little of it will go to enforcement. No to the deal. I hope Lankford of Oklahoma gets primaried for this

Mitch McConnell’s cuck- Lankford... the STOOGE, isn’t up for re-election until the 2028-2029 campaign cycle. The OK GOP has already censored him. Strictly ceremonial, but a shot across the bow.

There is no way, no system, no accounting, no measuring, no inter-port communications, no numbering scheme, no time-stamping, to know in real time the number of illegals crossing the border at scores of entry points and other non-legal crossings.

Thus there is no way to know in real time exactly when the 5001st or 8501st illegal has crossed the border.
That accounting would come days and weeks later, after the illegals are here. What then - track down all of those who came after 5000 or 8500?

Thus, there is really no number limit on how many come in.

We are being ruled by stupid, corrupt bastards, democrats and RINOs who are probably correct in their assessment that the uneducated Gen X, Y, Zs, naive suburban women, propagandized college imbeciles, and low-IQ journalists won’t know the scam they are exercising on them.
