>>"That last minute Trojan Horse would have cemented into law that we had to accept an average of 5,000 a day over a week or 8,500 in a single day, before allowing expedited deportations. Compare to Homan, who has it down to under 500 a day right now. The amazing thing is that Biden was helpless without legislation, yet Trump has accomplished so much on sheer determination and no legislation." - BHM<<

Mike, your ignorance is being taken advantage of yet again and making you look like an idiot by repeating things that are simply not true. - Umm

At issue is a provision in the bipartisan package that would grant the Homeland Security secretary emergency authority to prohibit entry for most individuals if an average of more than 4,000 people per day try to enter the country unlawfully over the course of a week. If the number reaches 5,000 or if 8,500 try to enter unlawfully in a single day, use of the authority would be mandatory.

If the proposal were passed into law, the new authority could be triggered almost immediately, given that border encounters topped 10,000 on some days during December, which was the highest month on record for illegal crossings. President Joe Biden has said he would use the authority to “shut down” the border.

This,
"President Joe Biden has said he would use the authority to “shut down” the border."
has been proven wrong by Trump. All it took was vision, leadership and determination to get illegal crossings down to less than 500 encounters per day. And Trump did it in less than 30 days with no additional funding or legislation. Trumps success did depend on one more condition, actually listening to what is important to main street.
