The Senate has pushed off its holiday recess to work on a border security and foreign aid package in what could be a breakthrough on immigration policy - that has not been dealt with by Congress in decades.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made 'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and would bolster border security measures in exchange.
One idea under consideration is to allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.

That’s still 5000 per day too many…

All that'll do is create a race to cross the border after midnight every night. Brilliant legislative solution. As stupid as not charging theft if under $900. Laws are either uniformly enforced or why bother. But what do you expect of the DimoTwit Party?

This is outrageous. How about zero illegal crossings. As in less than one.

The wimpy Republicans should only pass the bill known as HR. 2 that is pending in the Congress. If the wimpy Republicans cave to any Biden or Mayorkas proposal like allowing 5,000 mostly all phony asylum seekers who are actually just illegal aliens into the USA everyday from now on as long as Biden is in the White House, the wimpy Republicans would be committing political suicide. Essentially the wimpy Republicans would be agreeing to allow 1,825,000 illegal aliens into the USA a year in violation of the immigration laws. In the past immigration judges have denied over 90% of borderline generated asylum cases in court after finding that the cases were either completely fraudulent or were filed by illegal aliens who could not establish the facts needed to receive a grant of asylum in accordance with US asylum law. Its really unbelievable by now that the wimpy Republicans act like they don't have a clue that the leftist and socialist Democrats intend to transform the entire illegal alien population of the USA, very likely over 20 million mostly poor and uneducated Third World origin people, by way of a series of "path to citizenship" Democrat designed amnesties, into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters in the years ahead, and that the Democrat aligned nongovernmental organizations (NGOS) who are providing aid to illegal aliens are already registering illegal aliens to vote in the 2024 election.

If they can limit it, they can limit it to 0 unless they actually are in need of asylum from an adjoining country like Mexico or Canada. No need to take any from countries that the illegals have passed through many countries between here than home.

A change in policy is what the forever stupid Repubs got. 5000 will race in and the rest will be allowed to sneak in.
Almost 2 million in a year on top of the 13 million from the last 3 years. The Great Replacement is happening much faster than they predicted.

The headline is misleading. The border is secure. SO secure, Komrad Mayocus is negotiating more (of your) dollars to Herr Zelensky.

The first 5,000 can break the law. Why can't everyone break the law? This is not equity, but it is stupidity!

5,000 x 365 = 1,825,000 but doesn't prevent them from walking in. Why would they bother to apply for asylum?

5000 A DAY? Caps intended. That's still almost 2 million a year, not counting the ones yet to be born.

Start rounding up the millions who have already illegally entered. Stop all immigration until that is done. NO special treatment, not extra monies, clothing or phones or anything else, for that matter.
Admit that "sanctuary" idea is dumb, rescind it all.
Make the bill stand alone.
We hear about all the blankety-blank going on in our neighbor, Massachusetts. It is OUTRAGEOUS. And STUPID.
These Dems love the idea of do-goodism (with other people's money) (and other people's towns) (and other people's schools).
# 6 mentions the NGOs they are a branch of the government, they are funded by us taxpayers. A giant scam.

Why is 5000 per day the magic number? Does it mean the entire border? Or at each portal of entry? Why not 5000 per month? Or quarter? Come on Senate critters don't just throw darts at balloons. Get real.

How long before the ACLU sues the government on behalf of the illegals charging that the 5000 is an arbitrary number that discriminates others from seeking asylum?
The Party of Stupid remains stupid.

What a deal. They'll enforce the law after it's broken 5,000 times in a day. Then, they start over the next day.

Absurd.
Kick out Mayorkas. Close border. No more phony asylums that cross the world, multiple borders,etc. No more asylums to those who "feel" they may be oppressed. Proof required. There are international rules for asylum.
