It took several days after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) publicly announced introduction of a new bill to fund the border barrier and implement important immigration measures before the text of the proposed legislation became available.
The bill McCarthy announced was the "Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act of 2018", H.R. 7059,(1) which was described in the media as a "new get-tough immigration bill that would build the rest of President Trump's border wall, punish sanctuary cities and stiffen penalties on repeat illegal immigrants."(2)
The legislative language of the bill may not completely live up to its media depiction, but there are a number of extremely desirable law enforcement provisions crafted into the bill. Other features are desirable, but flawed as written and merit amendment to ensure that they have the effect intended. A few appear to be a step backward.
Following is a brief analysis.

Kevin McCarthy's? It has to be ramrodded through, but it won't even come to the floor (if then) after the Demwits are back in charge in the House. The RINOS dragged their big clown shoe feet for two years.
Yes, they have had two years to do something and have not twitched a muscle to do it.
Wait now we are going to do all that after the election right? I see future like South Africa or Zimbabwe.
