Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has made clear where House Republicans will draw the line on any agreement dealing with the border: allowing illegal crossings.
“Any border ‘shutdown’ authority that ALLOWS even one illegal crossing is a non-starter. Thousands each day is outrageous. The number must be ZERO,” Mr. Johnson wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Jan. 29.
The deal, whose text is set to be released this week, reportedly would permit the president to close ports of entry if illegal crossings reach a certain threshold.
One of the negotiators, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), announced on Jan. 28 that a proposal was almost ready.
“This bill could be ready to be on the floor of the United States Senate next week,” he said on CNN, “but it won’t be if Republicans decide that they want to keep this issue unsettled for political purposes.”
The White House called on Congress to give the president the ability to protect the border.
“Until recently, Mr. Johnson advocated for HR2 because, in his view, presidents needed new legal authorities in order to secure the border,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote in a memo.
*** “But make no mistake, President Biden pledged on Friday to ‘shut down the border. However, with the stroke of a pen, he could begin by restoring Remain in Mexico, ending catch and release, [and] reforming asylum and parole standards. His refusal places our national sovereignty at stake.” ***

I kinda like permanent glow-in-the-dark dye dumped in the water.
Refugees fleeing whatever hellhole they are from and then go to Mexico are safe in Mexico.
The remain in Mexico (RTM) policy created by Trump in January 2019 was the RIGHT policy towards refugees. Refugees only have to flee to where they are safe. Why should they get to decide to skip through to the best country when they supposedly left harassment, death or persecution in the homeland?
In fact, only a handful of the millions seeking asylum are doing it for the actual reasons it was invented. There’s no right to seek asylum so you can get a job or welfare benefits. Jobs and welfare are for American citizens.
Biden rescinding the RIM policy is why we’re at where we’re at now, with millions entered and entering.
It is not logical to allow by agreement 3000 bank robberies per year. If something is illegal one can’t allow any of it.
And when you say "he", you mean "They". Whoever the "They" are, that are truly in control.
I know you know this, because you're one of the smartest people on this site, I just had to belch that out! Whenever I see your posts, I think, that FReeper is a walking encyclopedia!
Why do we even need asylum screening at the southern border?
Are there wars in South America that we don't know about? Are there Central America dictators who are mass killing their citizens that we don't know about?

Wow, how 1930s of you!

He will bend, and then he will break.
You’re so perceptive.
Praise the Lord.
“If the Biden crime syndicate and the DNC want to continue laundering money through Ukraine then they’re going to have to stop allowing illegals.”
I suspect from their standpoint they know that Ukraine is going to collapse anyway and even giving them money won’t help, since the Russians, Chinese, and North Koreans WILL NOT sell arms to Ukraine (and, of course, the West is unable to produce more than token quantities of weapons at this point), so any money going to Ukraine can be used to buy just about anything...other than weapons.
So, given the above, Obama likely figures that it’s worth cutting Ukraine loose now, if the price for keeping the money spigot going to Ukraine is a Secure Border, which is something that they can EVER permit.
Here is a sure fourth way:
4. Crash the fiat debt-based worthless dollar, and create a new asset-based "rainbow" dollar. Require an interview, at banks, for conversion of peoples old worthless dollars to the new currency. To convert, there must be presentation of being a legal citizen. If an illegal goes to such an interview, they are told they can do so, but only at a bank back in their homeland. Utilizing your idea #2, and the fact that soon their fiat dollars become worthless, the illegals will find that they will be penny-less in the US, but multi-millionaires in their homeland, they will self-deport pronto.
lol.....good one.
NOTHING but confrontation until November 5. NOTHING!!!
That goes without saying. But in a reality sense we are a long ways from zero.
I’ve said a thousand times already, JUST ENFORCE THE LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS! Why can’t the resident Commander in Thief get that?
If possible, ‘females’ have a baby as as they cross over.
What about that?
how about 1.5, reduce the welfare state river of cash and benefit such that unlawful entrance into the country disqualifies you permanently from receiving taxpayer paid benefits. Including a lifetime ban on voting.
Will never be passed but would end the invasion in one week.
Because the Democrat only want to give money to Ukraine. They don’t care about the illegal invasion. Forcing the border issue by denying Ukraine funds is the right thing to do.
