Proposed Border Bill Raises Questions About Activation of Border Emergency Authority
Proposed Border Bill , Raises Questions About Activation of , Border Emergency Authority.
'Newsweek' reports that the Senate's proposed
$118 billion southern border bill has drawn
scrutiny for the number of migrants
allowed to enter the country annually.
.
Confusion has reportedly circled around the
daily average and the belief it could permit as
many as 1.8 million annual migrant crossings.
The proposed legislation looks to deter
the influx of migrants at the border by
imposing tougher rules on migration and
increasing the number of Border Patrol agents.
'Newsweek' reports that one aspect of the
proposed legislation revolves around the
activation of border emergency authority.
According to the legislation, Department of Homeland Security , "shall activate the border emergency authority if,
during a period of seven consecutive calendar
days, there is an average of 5,000 or more
aliens who are encountered each day.".
The language of the proposed law has drawn criticism,
as a hypothetical 5,000 migrants per day for a 365-day
period equals about 1.825 million migrants annually.
Republican Senator James Lankford, one of the bill's
co-sponsors, defended the legislation and attempted to
clarify the meaning of the Border Emergency Authority.

The emergency authority is not
designed to let 5,000 people in,
it is designed to close the border
and turn 5,000 people around.

The Border Emergency Authority only lasts
3 yrs to force this Admin to shut down the
border & to give time for the next POTUS
to hire more agents & more officers, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'.
After three years, the emergency authority
expires because we should have regained
full control of our border by then, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'
