Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Wednesday unveiled a bill that would end asylum claims from Central America at the border and return unaccompanied minors to their home countries -- a targeted effort to tackle the escalating migration crisis.
This is a nightmare for smugglers, Graham said. This is a godsend to stop the humanitarian disaster.
Grahams bill is designed specifically to deal with loopholes he says are encouraging migrants from Central America to make the treacherous journey north and bring children with them. He pointed in particular to the 20-day limit for authorities to hold unaccompanied minors and families before having to release them into the U.S. homeland.
The word is out on the street in Central America if you bring a minor child with you, your chance of being deported goes to almost zero, your hearing date is years away and we release you inside the country and that's the goal of coming, he said.
The bill would end asylum claims at the U.S. border for migrants from the Northern Triangle of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Instead, those applications would be filed at refugee processing centers set up in the Northern Triangle and Mexico. The legislation would also allow unaccompanied minors to be returned to their country of origin, which Graham said would be treating them the same as minors from Canada and Mexico.

There probably something buried in it.
No, he won’t put it up for a vote.
I avoid the theater for just this reason.
You know the plot, and the ending.
The bill as described sounds good. Devil’s in the details, and this is Grahamnesty’s bill.
Ask for proof they applied in Guatemala or Mexico for asylum. If they can produce it, they go back there to wait for a decision. If they can't, then application is automatically denied. Next?
We can't be the world's flophouse anymore.
It will pass the Senate. They are getting better, but are not there yet.
People refer to him as Grahamnesty for a reason.
Look deeply for the catch. It’s buried in there somewhere.
Don't kid yourself. Not a single one of the 535 hogs have any interest in stopping the invasion and POTUS just handed this "hot potato" off to Javanka.
It's all kabuki theater to keep the sheeple calm while they await the slaughter. C'mon down to South Texas and you can watch every day as the knife slides in your back deeper and deeper.
IF Graham gets the Senate to pass this bill AND
IF the House Republican Caucus — away from the House floor and with cameras whirling — “passes” that same bill AND
IF the House Republican Caucus then asks Speaker Pelosi to “permit” a “floor vote” by the entire House,
THEN Pelosi and the “Party of No” will have a difficult choice:
1. Permit a vote and then vote down Senator Graham’s border control bill OR
2. Prevent a vote on Senator Graham’s bill.
Either option is a “loser” for the Democrats...
Waste of time. All show and no go. Why didn’t they do this when the controlled both houses just over a year ago?
I’ll tell you why. They, neither side of the aisle in either house wants it to happen.
They are traitors. Every last damn one of them. If you go along and say nothing you’re included in the guilty and that i all there is to it.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner boys and girls!
This is a start, but the WRONG start!
If we are serious about ending illegal immigration, we MUST start with a Constitutional Amendment that ends the SCOTUS interpretation of birth-right citizenship! And we MUST end guaranteed chain-migration! PERIOD!
Those two things would send a BIG, YUGE, CLEAR message to all the foreigners and they will KNOW that we no longer will be playing their games. The migration spigot will go from a RAGING-FLOW to an INCONSISTENT-DRIP!
If we are serious about ending illegal immigration, we MUST start with a Constitutional Amendment that ends the SCOTUS interpretation of birth-right citizenship!
as it applies to illegal immigrants supreme court has not decided it..

I don't need to. I work in logistics. I manage freight alongside the border.
There are plenty of places where youd be annexing huge chunks of Mexican cities.
Have you ever even driven across another state? You seldom hit a city immediately when you cross over. It'll be about 5-10 miles until you start hitting the Mexican city limits across most of the border.
So yes, we should seize 3 miles of all the border immediately south of the existing border and build the wall. That would bypass all of the courts and environmentalists stopping it.
You must be joking. Yes, I’ve driven coast-to-coast many times... As for border distances, for example, go to El Paso and then try to tell me with a straight face that you can go “5-10 miles until you start hitting the Mexican city limits.”
