talkpoliticsBiden admits border is not secure amid funding fight
Since nobody seems to know exactly what is in this "immigration deal" really, and all the characterizations are heresy, I find it disingenuous of supporters of the Senate "deal" to withhold key details from the public. Perhaps they think they can calm the waters by being secretive but all they have done is cause more alarmism and polarization.
Till then it is reckless to assume it's "a good deal" or the "best deal" possible. And here are the possible elements that are certain to kill a potential "deal".
1) Amnesty for those who have illegally entered the US of their own volition. Been there, done that, solved nothing and gives another incentive for crashing the border.
2) A failure to substantially toughen requirements for granting asylum, and failure to provide border agents the power to expel those with dubious claims.
3) A failure to restrict parole to a case by case basis, as required in the the law.
4) Failure to provide expedited removal for the vast majority of illegals caught.
5) Any further requirements by Democrats to expand immigration - not the time or relevancy to immediate border security.
Now the House Republicans are strongly pressing for full adoption of HR2. That isn't realistic, but what is certain is that even the House Ukraine supporting Republicans cannot and will not allow for the absence of substantial changes in the areas cited above.
