Subject: Re: Why the border bill will fail
You have three years, a narrowed version of asylum criteria that will be permanent, an increase in border agents that should be permanent, and a much larger, functioning, processing system that reduces the wait to ~6 months, with the narrower criteria. Pretty good.

That reduces the wait on new entrants. Does nothing to address the massive backlog of cases that are already here.

Mike's right. The sunset is a poison pill.

I don't think it takes much intelligence to realize the new expanded system will be dealing with the backlog, so saying it "does nothing" is self-serving crap.

As for poison pill - you live in a DEMOCRACY. When I said before that the bill comes out, we take a look at it, then hold our noses and pass it, I really F'n meant that! Burn it into your brain that a democracy means WE DON"T GET EVERYTHING WE WANT.

Everything's a trade off, look around, perhaps Hungary has the borders you want and you can go live there. And I do mean that literally, not being sarcastic one bit.

Do I like the sunset - no - I think it should be 10 years, but I don't get what I want, do I. Just remember, we were founded on people escaping. I have no problems at all with someone who will be likely killed in his/her own country coming here. But not if living conditions are just tough. We can't take everyone.
