Sorry for linking a liberal immigration lawyer, but they are melting down about this. Congress closing the asylum system loophole is probably the most important step to stop people from crossing illegally

Seems like a baby step in the right direction.

*True* asylum cases probably wouldn't be able to cobble this amount together.

Makes me think poison pill... and that the GOP doesn't actually intend to do jack shite to amend the system.

I agree.

My point is that I'm thinking the GOP purposefully put something both unpalatable and conservative "red meat" in this bill with the intent to have it slapped down.

There are ways to amend the system short of having the most desperate and needy come up with an insurmountable amount of money... I believe they made it extreme on purpose, much like Lindsey Graham going on the airwaves before midterms talking a nationwide abortion ban. They are shitting the bed on purpose.

This was the final straw for me - when he did this I lost it - haven't given a shite about him since.

He's only good for SCOTUS nominations now.

Baby step indeed. Let's stride towards returning them. No reason asylum systems is a "path to citizenship". Which I know is the Dems plan. Just get them on our soil and "path to citizenship"

Ship refugees, foreign students, H1Bs all back.

Its ignorant.

International law says you claim the first country you come to and economics in not a valid claim for it.

We dont need some new law

Its a way to jam up the big beautiful bill and go back to business as usual "oh well we tried". Whats next, they will throw in there the right to kill baby kittens???
