sunsporter1649 Nope. My solution is far faster asylum turnaround times, coupled with expanded asylum housing, which is also in the bill. It may not be perfect, but it's far better than what Trump is keeping going by blocking the bill.
8 U.S. Code Chapter 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY
Go ahead, quote for us the section about asylum seekers.
Our problem is our asylum granting system was designed for asylum seekers from Cuba. It's way too slow and way out of date. Bipartisan Senators have proposed a new asylum regime to make asylum decisions 10X faster. But Trump ordered Congressional republicans to block it.
Let that sink in: Trump ordered Congressional republicans to block effective border legislation. Party over country.
Republican Representative from Texas Chip Roy said:
"I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts. 'All the president has to do is declare the borders closed and it's closed.' Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, 18, 19, and 20. There were millions of people who came into the United States during those four years and Trump stopped very very few of them despite his lies."
