The Senate finally unveiled the text of its latest piece of garbage. It is a Trojan horse. It is the hill to die on. It takes everything that is wrong with the current crisis and codifies it into law.
Here’s Bill Melugin’s summary:
NEW: My initial highlights from the border deal.
– No amnesty/legalization of anyone already in the U.S. illegally.
– Funds an increase in ICE detention capacity to approx. 50,000 from the current 34,000.
– At 7 day rolling average of 5,000 encounters per day, or 8,500…
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) February 5, 2024
But as always, the devil is in the details.
NBC put it this way:
Senators unveil bipartisan bill to impose tougher asylum and border laws
That’s complete bullsh*t. The monstrosity is chock full of liberal wet dreams. I’m going to highlight some of the most egregious of them.
The bill allots $3.5 billion to promote illegal immigration to the US
It provides another $2.3 billion to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration
The following are THE WORST.
The bill would take away states’ (like Texas) rights to sue in Federal Court and it puts all decisions into the far-left DC District Court.
The bill would strip the power of Texas and other states to challenge some of its provisions in their local federal court.
Conservative commentators were quick to denounce the provision, contained on page 221 of the bill. Bill Shipley, who was a federal prosecutor for over 20 years, decried the its court provisions on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
“This would prevent plaintiffs – like the State of Texas – from filing suit in Texas federal courts. This is corrupt,” he wrote.
After outlining the provisions under which immigrants can seek judicial review of a deportation order, the bill states:
“The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges, whether constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this section or any written policy directive, written policy guideline, written procedure, or the implementation thereof.”
It creates “Asylum officers”.
It demeans Border Patrol officers
And the cherry on top is this. If an “Asylum Officer” has a negative finding for an illegal there are unlimited avenues of recourse. Judges are no longer needed. The adversarial system is demolished. In its place is installed the USCIS, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. You know who ran the USCIS from 2009-2013? This guy:
Who do you think he’s going to turn away?
No. Body.
The USCIS would be a rubber stamp for all illegals. This bill is the trap liberals set for the likes of James Lankford and Mitch McConnell. Don’t listen to liberal morons who claim the GOP hasn’t done anything or doesn’t want immigration reform. HR2 was passed last year but the Senate refuses to entertain it, favoring this trash instead. Also remember this:
At 7 day rolling average of 5,000 encounters per day, or 8,500 encounters in a single day, DHS is *required* to shut the border down, and turn away anyone who crosses.
In 2019 former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said 1,000 per day constituted a crisis. Now we have to wait for 5,000?

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
It’s craptastic.
I wish we could see a televised hearing on just what Schumer and his Dems think they compromised on in this sham of an immigration bill. I want them to show their work. Also, have them explain why they think that the things they left in that the House Republicans don’t like now are such a great idea. Why are they in there at all?
It is very simple. Those who qualify under present law, can. Those who don’t,can’t. Those here unlawfully should be prosecuted stringently and deported with their imprisonment suspended for life. If they qualify for RICO case status, then, they should face those consequences, and then be deported with lifetime bans. We should build special holding facilities in disadvantaged subsaharan jurisdictions where the facilities could be much like consulates and provide well paying employment to local labor. That way, when the inmates are set free with a one-way ticket to their homeland, they should return home. Also, if the border is overwhelmed, close it to human traffic. You’ll see Mexico fold when cross-border tourism collapses.
That’s what Trump threatened and Mexico folded up. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden let Mexico make him dance to their tune. It’s the simple difference between Trump, a leader that sincerely cares about his country and Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden, a corrupt, lying thief that only cares about squeezing everything out of the nation and the people for his own benefit.
Augusto, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Mexico should be declared a hostile nation (as it really has never been a friend to the U.S.) and the border closed for a month. See how happy Mexico is then and if they decide to cooperate with the U.S.
Tourism accounts for less than 8% of Mexico’s economy. Manufacturing represent over 89%.
Declaring them an adversarial country and sanctioning them is an easy fix for non compliance. Stopping all money transfers from illegals here to cartels or family wouldnt help their economy.

Lets see if they can buy all their own products.
Oh I found your dream girl Greggie
Even a while back, those remittances back home accounted for Mexico’s 2nd largest export income, after oil.
And oil is 2%?
I have a hard time understanding the $400 million for attorneys for illegal immigrants. They KNEW they were coming to our border for the sole purpose of breaking our immigration laws. Maybe they should bring their own attorney.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden made this disaster and crisis himself. He did it intentionally and the entire Democrat party (with a few exceptions later when the devastating effects became too much to bear) has been all for it. Now they foist a bill upon the American people hoping to nail the border wide open forever more.
Democrats hate this country and the taxpaying citizens.
BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFSTS
02/05/24 – Mike Johnson Faces Rebellion From America’s Largest Lobbying Group –
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce isn’t exactly a far-left lobbying group, is it?
Trump has led the GOP so far off course that they’ve completely lost touch with mainstream American reality.
02/05/24 – Chamber of Commerce calls for immediate passage of border bill –
Trump has all but destroyed the Republican Party as a vehicle for the traditional conservative principles it once embodied. If he tells them to drink the poisoned Kool Aid, they’ll drink the poisoned Kool Aid.
Oooh, the Chamber of Commerce? Who the hell do you think cares about that?
You put a teaspoon of sewage into a vat of the finest wine, you still have a vat of sewage.
Trump has been the only — ONLY — GOP politician since Reagan to deliver on those principles. All others have given merely lip service. You don’t give a shit about them. Stop pretending you do.
HR2.
So, the way the government should work, in your view, is to be controlled by lobbyists? I can remember when you leftists thought that was a bad thing.
Yeah, the US CofC wants cheap labor, just like the Democrats want slaves that can vote. In both cases, to HELL with the American people.
Knowing full well you don’t give a half a shit about actual border security and restraining illegal immigration one bit, what is it you are actually clamoring for in this waste of time and effort?
It is when it comes to illegal immigration. Those illegals provide low wage workers for the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the CofC has been pro illegal immigration for years.
If Barry was right 62 years ago; and Ronny was right from 1947 ( first utterance of ” … THE GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM!”) to 1989 – then Chamber has been left since 2000.
Chamber has been left for decades!

The “Invasion Authorization Act.” is not going to get out of the Senate
Below is the full list of these senators who are publicly committing to oppose the bill via, so far, via Alex Bruesewitz:
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN)Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO)Sen. JD Vance (R-OH)Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID)Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO)Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL)Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN)Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS)Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) This dirtbag is a mcconnell lieutenantTed Cruz (R-TX)Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC)Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE)Under current law, the president already has the power to shutdown the border, there’s no need to pass a new bill. This isn’t about the border at all, this bill is about the 60.06 billion support for Ukraine, that’s what they’re really after. What they have allotted for the border will most likely be spent giving the illegals more free stuff and not securing the border, you can almost bank on it.
This is from page 150 of the “Invasion Authorization Act.”
7(6) REVIEW OF PROTECTION DETERMINA8 TIONS.—Except for reviews of constitutional claims,
9 no court shall have jurisdiction to review a protec
10 tion determination issued by U.S. Citizenship and
11 Immigration Services under this section.
12 ‘‘(7) FINAL REMOVAL ORDERS.—No court shall
13 have jurisdiction to review a final order of removal
14 issued under this section.
15 ‘‘(j) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—Notwithstanding any other
16 provision of this Act, judicial review of any decision or ac
17 tion in this section shall be governed only by the United
18 States District Court for the District of Columbia, which
19 shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges,
20 whether constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this
21 section or any written policy directive, written policy
22 guideline, written procedure, or the implementation there
23 of, issued by or under the authority of the Secretary to
24 implement this section.
Let that sink in, the only place where judicial review can occur is in the DC district court.
…..which is itself spectacularly undemocratic and unconstitutional.
But it’s OK if you’re a Democrat!
the only place where judicial review can occur is in the DC district court.
Since when does Congress rule the Judicial branch?
Until this proposed bill, all bills had to have transparency regarding a bill’s cost to legislators and the President.
But this bill states:
It goes on to state
This means we never get an estimate of what this monster costs.
And, has anyone recently explained to greg the difference between Main Street Chambers of Commerce VS the national Chamber of Commerce?
I know I have at least three times in the past.
joe was just on the news saying “we need to take care of the needs of these people,” meaning of illegals.
Um, no, we don’t.
We have plenty of needy people joe ignores.
We have laws that, if followed by joe, would have sent them back or never let them in in the first place.
The country is broke, the states are broke, the counties are broke and the cities are broke.
All joe is up to is vote buying.
IILM
Illegal Immigrant Lives Matter
We need Ike! OPERATION WETBACK
A great thing for working Americans. Ba for plutocrats; had to pay more for: cooks, drivers, Gardners, maids. etc. etc!
UNIPARTY Plutocrats have beenOPEN BOARDERS for at east 75 years. Could not read before 1948.
BTW For those <80 because of the broad reduction in crime related costs the feds had a budget surplus 3 of the next 5 years. Inflation was NEGATIVE- deflation =. ALL WORKING AMERICANS GOT A BIG , TAX FREE PAY RAISE! Pay check bought more things!
Deporting not only worked; BUT WORKED VERY WELL FOR WORKING AMERICANS; other than the UNIPARTY.
HERE! HERE! WELL DONE!
joe is nationalizing the Alaskan National Guard to support the federal government’s U.S.-Mexico border control efforts,” which is to say joe’s opening up of the Southern Border to the illegal invasion.
BUT only AFTER the election!
And only IF the Alaskan National Guard will police his open border policy.

So, instead of securing the border, Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden will send troops to UN-SECURE what Abbott has totally secured. He’ll wait, of course, until AFTER the election so he can continue to lie about wanting to secure the border after he destroyed all the border security. Destruction and disaster is all Democrats can produce.
Paul Faye… One of yours.
Newsflash Three of those Latino Sub Humans who beat the cop have been arrested in Arizona. I hope they lock them up and throw away the key and issue arrest warrent’s for Soros and Bragg as well as t he other two
Biden: Who do you serve?
Republicans haven’t won a popular national election in two decades.
About the time electronic machines were widely adopted. Hmmmm
“The Help America Vote Act assumed that touch screen technology was going to be the future of voting,” says Jones, “and in the early 2000s, there was a big wave of adoption of touch screen voting machines, and then a big backlash.”
There’s no such thing as a “popular national election,” you dipshit.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden serves the Chinese, Ukraine, Russia, Iran and the Biden Crime Family.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) went off on the House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) following the embarrassing defeat today of the Democrats’ open borders bill and funding bonanza for Ukraine.
Senator Paul joined Laura Ingraham for a recap of today’s vote on the Ukraine funding – open border monstrosity.
Rand Paul accused McConnell of working with Biden and Schumer to send your tax dollars to Ukraine!
