    You can read it for yourself and make your own decisions rather than relying on people who hate America to interpret it for you.

    Don’t worry I won’t rely on you to interpret it for me.

    The 4,000 number that triggers a border close doesn’t close it, it only gives the option to close it.

    (A) DISCRETIONARY ACTIVATION.—The Secretary may activate the border emergency authority if, during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 4,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day.

    Then there’s the 5000 trigger but naturally there are exceptions.

    © An unaccompanied alien child. (D) An alien who an immigration officer determines, with the approval of a supervisory immigration officer, should be excepted from the border emergency authority based on the totality of the circumstances … (F) An alien who has a valid visa or other lawful permission to enter the United States, including— … (iv) an alien who presents at a port of entry pursuant to a process approved by the Secretary to allow for safe and orderly entry into the United States.

    Even those loopholes were not enough so they made sure they could ignore the mandatory closing.

    Whenever the border emergency authority is activated, the Secretary shall have the authority, in the Secretary’s sole and unreviewable discretion, to summarily remove from and prohibit, in whole or in part, entry into the United States of any alien identified in subsection (a)(3) who is subject to such authority in accordance with this subsection.>

      So, just to be clear, the border should be closed even to people with who valid visas or are otherwise lawfully permitted to enter into the U.S. when the border emergency authority is activated?

      Like, if an Israeli citizen shows up and wants to get through…they should be rejected?

        Nice try at a straw man, I’m surprised you didn’t go the unaccomponied minor route.

  Matter of fact, I’ll do some reading for you. You tell me if these things are bad.

  ‘(b) BORDER EMERGENCY AUTHORITY DESCRIBED .—

  ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL .—Whenever the border emergency authority is activated, the Secretary shall have the authority, in the Secretary’s sole and unreviewable discretion, to summarily remove from and prohibit, in whole or in part, entry into the United States of any alien identified in subsection (a)(3) who is subject to such authority in accordance with this subsection.

  All of those sections can be found in the link of my other comment. So, this isn’t even interpretation, just what is exactly in the bill.

  What is here that’s worth opposing exactly?

    Thats not nearly all of it, thats a tiny snippet.

      Yeah, which means there’s more stuff that you’d probably find appealing in it!

      Because if you read Republican criticisms of the bill, there’s no policy discussion. It’s not bad because tens of millions isn’t enough, or because ICE wasn’t given enough power to deport immigrants in the country with authorization, or anything else. It’s just bad, just dead on arrival, just a crap sandwich. No reasoning given for why, just that it is.

      They’re abusing your trust in them to lie to you. The bill has what you want in it. It has what they want in it. So why isn’t it being passed?

        Why do you automatically assume that people are supposed to agree with it by default? It’s seriously that unfathomable in your mind that someone could read it and decide it isn’t a good bill?

      I’m genuinely curious how you look at threads like this where he does nothing except be a total fucking condescending jackass and think “yeah, it’s reasonable to have this guy deciding who’s in good faith”
