bighairymike: Aren't we just debating rumors? Where can I go to actually read what is in the proposed comprise, even in draft form?

Word is, the bill will be available next week. The latest reporting is that the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrant encounters reach 4,000 over a one-week span. If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry. Certain migrants would be allowed to stay if they prove to be fleeing torture or persecution in their countries.

Moreover, if crossings exceed 8,500 in a single day, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants illegally crossing the border. Under the proposal, any migrant who tries to cross the border twice while it is closed would be banned from entering the US for one year.

The package would also speed up the asylum process to consider cases within six months rather than the several years it takes now.

But yeah, technically still rumors.
