The Senate finally unveiled the text of its latest piece of garbage. It is a Trojan horse. It is the hill to die on. It takes everything that is wrong with the current crisis and codifies it into law.
Here's Bill Melugin's summary:
NEW: My initial highlights from the border deal. - No amnesty/legalization of anyone already in the U.S. illegally.
- Funds an increase in ICE detention capacity to approx. 50,000 from the current 34,000.
- At 7 day rolling average of 5,000 encounters per day, or 8,500…

But as always, the devil is in the details.
NBC put it this way:
Senators unveil bipartisan bill to impose tougher asylum and border laws That's complete bullsh*t. The monstrosity is chock full of liberal wet dreams. I'm going to highlight some of the most egregious of them.
The bill allots $3.5 billion to promote illegal immigration to the US
It provides another $2.3 billion to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration
The following are THE WORST.
The bill would take away states' (like Texas) rights to sue in Federal Court and it puts all decisions into the far-left DC District Court.

Mitch “the Democratic Party Bitch” McConnell never fails to disappoint. Joe Biden is a vicious communist and criminal.
It will probably pass. It’s going to take U.S. to rectify it.
Lankford was on AFR (American Family Radio/Christian) and lied the whole time....saying what your hearing (or reading) is the exact opposite of what this bill actually does...I was beside myself in the car coming home....
Can someone ask these illegal immigration pimps what the freaking end game is? Do they want 100 million here, a billion?

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said on X, the border bill legislation includes:
<><>millions of dollars in new foreign aid
<><>aid to countries already surfeited w/ billions of US tax dollars
<><>its the first major overhaul of the country’s immigration system in years.
“Let me be clear: The Senate Border Bill will NOT receive a vote in the House.
Here’s what the people pushing this “deal” aren’t telling you:
<><>It accepts 5,000 illegal immigrants a day
<><>and gives automatic work permits to asylum recipients—
<><>and is a magnet for more illegal immigration.
I really don’t get it! Either the border patrol heads are compromised or are full of CHIT! They are willing to endorsed this crap sandwich ….what the heck? Remember some of those border patrol top officials ORDERED the BP agents to cut the razor wire to let the illegals cross into our soil. I’m becoming more and more suspicious that those in charge of the border patrol are extremely compromised and are being paid off by the rats democratic evil multibillion dollar donors and soros!! It just does not make sense!
Another classic example of why I contend there are no more political solutions.
