This bill is insane. Does anyone think asylum officers need a pay raise?

(snip)

Maintains parole standard of case by case basis which Mayorkas has blown wide open

(snip)

Puts far left DC district court in charge

(snip)

You will pay for lawyers of illegal aliens

(snip)

New standard of acceptable illegal immigrants set at 5k/day (around 2 million a year)

Just a few highlights. The bolded one is rich. The same court deciding Jan 6 cases. The same court Jack Smith is operating in.

I will use hyperbole: DC has declared war on the rest of the United States.

[Regulator]

It’s wholesale surrender to the illegal alien kill America gang

And the DC Circuit should be dissolved

[Yo-Yo]

Perhaps someone can decode this portion of the bill found on page 213 of the bill (referring to the 5,000 per day cap):

(ii) LIMITATION.—Aliens described in subsection (a)(2)(C) from noncontiguous countries shall not be included in calculating the sum of aliens encountered.

Does this mean that only Mexican asylum seekers are counted?

[laconic]

Note that Schumer, who loves this “compromise” bill, refers to him and McConnell and their Senate acolytes as “the firm”. The only time I have heard “the firm” used in the context of government is in the UK, where the royal family calls itself “the firm”. So we have a bunch of lifers who pay no attention to the interests of American citizens, who spend gobs of our money on illegals, who pay no attention whatsoever to existing US immigration law, who thumb their noses at the people who elected them, who have no respect for your or my views, who never open their mouths while abominations like the FBI raids and the J6 imprisonments are underway, and who are just pleased as punch to sit down and come up with a total abomination like this piece of trash that they release on a weekend and try to rush through Congress because, after all, they are “the firm”.

The problem is the people behind these bills often do not believe in what they are writing, they want more immigration, they have no problem with immigrants overrunning the country.

Need a simple bill that has just a few elements: (1) Immediate deport of anyone in the US without valid visa or green card. (2) Immediate deport of anyone that crosses or crossed the border illegally. (3) No more work permits, period. No exception. (4) Rescind existing work permits. (5) Implement E-Verify for all workers. (6) Advance all hearings to be complete this year, else deport and wait for hearing. (7) No federal benefits to illegals. Upon contact with government, get life saving treatment if needed, then immediate deportation. (8) Unaccompanied children get returned to home country or country where they crossed from--no more government-supported child trafficing.

This language needs its own thread for everyone to see.
This is treasonous.

We are headed for the Hunger Games. Each state will have a district number based on when they became a state. DC is Penam.

Exactly! DEAD on.
