The border deal fails to secure the border. Its close requires an invasion of millions to trigger and even then would require processing a minimum of half a million illegal alien invaders. Unaccompanied alien minors from other countries, a group that has in the past included adult gang members, would be exempt from the system.

And every time a Senate member comes out and defends it, they reveal how much worse it really is.

Sen. Sinema said the Senate bill ends catch-and-release seen under former Presidents Obama and Trump, and that it creates a new authority requiring entrants to be detained or supervised until their asylum case is resolved…

She said that, under current conditions, the Department of Homeland Security needs more detention beds and cannot act unilaterally without congressional approval. Sinema cited the current figure as 34,000 beds, and said the bill would increase that to 50,000.

That’s 14,000 more beds. If you render that as a percentage, it sounds like a sizable increase, but it’s actually a fraction of the invading population.

The bill supposedly promises to wrap up asylum cases in 90 days. With thousands and thousands of migrant encounters per day, those new ‘beds’ would be used up in less than a week.

That’s less than a week’s worth of detention capacity.

But it’s already been made clear that the border won’t be closed and the invaders won’t be detained. They’ll be released under some form of “supervision” which is the same failed system we have now. If they don’t show up for their interviews, they won’t be allowed to pull this stunt for another year. But they won’t actually leave either.
