It is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research organization founded in 1985. It is the nation's only think tank devoted exclusively to research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, fiscal, and other impacts of immigration on the United States.
Kabuki theatre. GOPe does not want this to pass while they still have a majority and only are running this to be able to point to it and say, “See, we tried!”

The bill also amends INA Section 236, relating to apprehension and detention, by adding a provision requiring mandatory detention of alien criminal gang members and associates. It further precludes such individuals from accruing various benefits under the INA, including asylum, temporary protected status, special immigrant juvenile status, or parole except when the individual is to be paroled to “assist” the U.S. government in a law enforcement matter.
Note that the bill does not preclude criminal gang members who are resident aliens and later charged with deportability for their membership from the benefit of cancellation of removal. This appears to be an oversight that should be rectified.(18)
A lot of people south of the border and in Washington make money off the Narco & Human traffickers. Billions spread around. They don’t want a wall or anything close to it. Trump has been pushing against very powerful forces. May God protect him.

This bill was an election year stunt by Kevin McCarthy to look tough so he’d get grass root support for his run as GOP leader in the house. Evidence: He had his PAC run commercials on radio nationwide taking about how “Congressman Kevin McCarthy and President Trump” are tough on border security. This bill existed so he could run those commercials.

The space between would be a prison.
The inmates would self-admit.
