Lankford says that 5,000 trigger is not in there, at least the way it is rumored to operate

I read some of Lankford's comments and took it as a "I can't confirm or deny" the 5,000. It was really confusing.


- The fact that a deal was made at all is an ice breaker, opening the door to future fine tuning such as reducing that 5,000 trigger. The important thing right now is that a trigger comes into existence.

I agree here. For years the democrats have insisted on basically zero extra security measures; that they've caved AT ALL shows you how nervous they are about what the "Sanctuary Cities" are getting.

If we set aside the 5,000 illegal per day trigger bit the deal isn't terrible on its face. It doesn't do anything about the 10 million people that Biden's let in over the past 3 years and there needs to be some immediate measures taken to ensure there's not a run to the border in the weeks leading up to when this stuff takes effect.
