"The agreement reached tonight would include:
-$1.375b for border barriers (55 new miles of bollard fencing) -Dems drop call for new cap on ICE beds for detentions in interior -Overall cap on detention beds drops from 49,057 to 40,520
Per congressional official."
I just hope he does something without announcing it ahead of time. IMHO, he did a lot of damage to his position by saying he could do a National Emergency instead of doing it. It trivialized how urgent the emergency is.
Do not sign it into law. You will never hear the end of the crowing if you sign it. They will say you settled. That you did not mean what you said. Etc
Devil is in the details... and there are “bollard” style fencing in the details. Not the steel panels that are two stories high, and no room to squeeze through. We’ll see.
Issue now is the need for National Emergency— to enact Military Justice per the prior Exec. Order. People are missing this, since this is STILL a time of war, and he has the power to do so.
You have it backwards. The Dems wanted maximumum beds reduced to 16,500. The rest of these detainees would be released into the population until their case could be heard.
This whole charade has been handled poorly and the RINOs caved and made it worse. We are providing more protection for effing Butterflies in this bill then citizens of this country. Poetic justice would a lightening strife burning out the butter fly sanctuary.
Wrong FReeper-— I didn’t comment on this, but someone else did and did not understand what was going on.
However— what was in the details is even worse than the “amnesty” “you can’t hold anyone” rules the idiots attached to the funding. Rules that do not— if an executive overrule is issued- have to be followed. Devil is in the details.
Trump laid out the dems game plan quite well. There will be way enough money from the asset forfeiture funds held under the Executive Branch control, through DOD and DHS seizures. Billions, in fact, and perfectly balanced ethically and legally. So, Mexico (the cartels) WILL be paying for it.
The El Chapo trial revealed political donations to ... dems, and Nancy specifically by MS13 and El Chapo’s “entities”... to the tune of hundreds of millions.
