  1. Fun fact: "Republicans in the House have never done anything for the constituents in their districts, and they never will. 🤣

  2. The border security bill would give the government emergency powers to refuse entry to migrants crossing the border or to quickly expel those who had already entered the US. The “trigger” authority, called the “Border Emergency Authority" would enable the administration to summarily deport migrants who enter between ports of entry without permitting them to apply for asylum.  The new emergency authority could be activated if border “encounters” reach a daily average of 4,000 over a period of seven days and would become mandatory once border encounters reach over 5,000 over a period of seven days. The bill gives the federal government significant discretion over exactly when to implement this new emergency summary-deportation process and does not require it to be publicly announced. The upshot is this: on any given day, a would-be asylum seeker would have no idea whether they would be allowed to seek asylum in the U.S. or not. The bipartisan Senate bill would add more than 1,500 new Customs and Border Protection personnel. The bill would direct $20 billion to additional enforcement on the border, and to combat drug trafficking. Any issues at the border, belong to Trump and repubs now.
