I like how this bill literally puts migrants into a prisoner’s dilemma type situation. Couldn’t just do physical torture, had to throw in a “If I try to cross with my family I could end up shutting down the border for weeks.”
Anyway, Texas and other states will say that crossings are enter bullshit number here and never source those to justify never allowing any migrant in.
Once shutdown, there would have to be fewer than 3.7k encounters per day for two weeks to reopen. In December, there was an average of 14k encounters per day. They won’t even have to fake the numbers to ensure the border remains shut.

This is the point, it’s essentially shutting down the border and removing the right to seek asylum on an ‘ongoing’ basis.
Indeed. It’s remarkable how this deal demonstrates what electoralism has gotten us. Just Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil fighting over aesthetics.
