If the average daily migrants crossings reaches 5,000 per day for a week, the law states the border would be shut down. I haven't read for how long. But that means we will allow 4,999 migrants per day. 4,999 times 365 days is still over 1.8 million people per year. IMO that's too many.
Yea that is just stupid. These people are not refugees and should be denied entry without a passport, visa, and visible means of support
That’s not how it will work.
They are giving the gop what they have demanded. They are allocating resources to process and deport people faster. For the love of decency stop with the 5,000 nonsense. The border can be completely shutdown.
The house is only fighting it because of Trump. Not because of the details. Change your news source and pay attention. Listen to the senator from Oklahoma.

" It would create a border emergency authority that allows the secretary of Homeland Security “to summarily remove from and prohibit, in whole or in part, entry into the United States” foreign nationals who enter between ports of entry.
That authority would be optional if the cumulative seven-day average of Border Patrol encounters is between 4,000 and 5,000 a day and mandatory if the average exceeds 5,000. The mandatory authority would also kick in after any single day with more than 8,500 encounters."

On Sunday, Lankford said his colleagues had not had a chance yet to read the full text of the bill and said there were “internet rumors” floating around about the measure that were false.
“This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There’s no amnesty. It increases the number of Border Patrol agents, increases asylum officers, it increases detention beds so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals,” Lankford said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“It focuses on additional deportation flights out. It changes our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard and then get returned back to their home country,” Lankford added.
“So we actually locked arms together and said we’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in law,” Lankford said. “When we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential election year.’ We all have an oath to the Constitution and we have a commitment to say we’re going to do whatever we can to be able to secure the border.”
Trump, who is running for reelection and who decisively won the GOP’s first two nominating contests this month, blasted the would-be bipartisan deal as a potential political “gift” to Democrats during an election year. On Saturday, Trump bragged about inserting himself into the debate and stymieing efforts to get the bill passed, even though he is not in office.
“This is not about letting 5,000 people in a day. This is the most misunderstood section of this proposal,” Lankford said on Sunday on Fox. “This is not someone standing at the border with a little clicker saying, ‘I’m going to let one more in. We’re at 4,999’ and then it has to stop. It is a shutdown of the border and everyone actually gets turned around.”
The authority Biden was referencing would shut down most asylum screenings for migrants crossing illegally, according to two people familiar with the outlines of the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
Migrants could still apply at ports of entry, where a set number of asylum claims would need to be granted, they said. Migrants would be expelled indefinitely until crossings dipped below 3,750 per day, which would end the expulsion authority period.
The bill being negotiated would also change the U.S. asylum process with the goal of reducing the average time for an asylum claim to be resolved from several years to 6 months, the people said. It also raises the standard for migrants to be able to make an asylum claim in the first place.
On Sunday, Lankford said the measure will ensure that the only migrants who get a work permit are those who have gone through a “strenuous evaluation” and who are probably going to be able to end up with asylum and remain in the United States.
“That’s a fraction of the people that go through the process. The vast majority of people that actually go through this process will be turned around and deported,” Lankford said.

I tried to find the section of the doc pertaining to specific numbers and the rules but got tired of skimming the 360 pgs. Regardless, it's "dead on arrival" with Reps. And I'm not sure it matters, our gov doesn't have a good record of following and enforcing the rules.
