Graham: Secure and Protect Immigration Act 2021 - Page 2

Partisan soapboxing.

Do your own work bruv...This is America.

And do share the recap when you’re done...

Recap for all of you zero IQ bitches, especially MAGA 2Face:

OVERVIEW AND DEMANDS:
-Biden Admin has lost control of the southern border and it's time to regain control.

-Cites unaccompanied minors coming to the US because the Biden admin gave an exemption Title 42 deportations for unaccompanied minors. Word is out in Central America that minors will not be turned back.

Quote:

Title 42 was created by President Trump to allow us to send back anyone coming to our border because of the concerns about COVID infection. It didn’t matter if you came as an unaccompanied child. It didn’t matter if you came as an asylum seeker, family, you name it. You were apprehended, and you were sent back because of COVID concerns.

-Temporary facilities to hold immigrants had to be placed. Many are currently significantly past capacity in terms of the number of people they can hold.

-Cites the Biden administration doing away with the remaining Mexico policy as another factor.

-Demand 1: Increase processing times from 20 days to 100 days. Says that currently, with a 20 day processing time, the child and relatives are released into the US without a timely chance for adjudication. Says that if the timing is changed to 100 days:

Quote:

You could hold them together in humane conditions, and they would be priority in terms of adjudication.

-Demand 2: Change the asylum standard that’s being abused. Change so that credible fear standard is higher at the initial screening standard, which means that there will be less people having to wait for a final determination.

Quote:

Most asylum seekers are not coming because of fear, but because of economic distress. The asylum standard has been completely abused.

Quote:

So I’m hoping that there will be bipartisan support, and what we’re trying to do is basically say if you come to America, you will no longer be allowed to apply for asylum here. We want you to apply for asylum in your home country, particularly for your child. And if you show up on our border, we’re going to send you back to your home country. You can apply for asylum there, then we’ll give you a court date here. You can show up for your court date, but you won’t be released within the United States. If you’re an unaccompanied minor from the Triangle nations, you will be sent back to your country. You will not be processed here.

GETTING IT PASSED:
-Says R's support this, but the is "deafening silence" from D's.

Quote:

So I will talk to Senator Durbin here in a bit. I am for dealing realistically with the people who’ve been here for a long time. I’m for doing something with the Dream Act population, doing something for TPS folks. Count me in for trying to deal with people who’ve been here a long time, with no place else to go. The price is to control the border. We’re not going to legalize one person under these conditions. Can you imagine what would happen if the Congress actually passed the Dream Act, without addressing the underlying problems at the border? There would be a run on our border like you’ve never seen before.

100 days is too long to hold kids in jail. Period.

Alive on arrival

Children with adults are being released but children without adults have been stuck beyond the 20 day mark... They dont know what to do with them.

It's a tough spot. But being in essentially jail for god knows how long is not right for a 5 year old.

They need to make it clear and put into practice that all migrants seeking asylum will be turned away at the border.
They need to make it clear that reform that will have benefits for immigrants will not apply to current and future migrants.
They need to either send the kids they have in detention now back to their families in their home country if possible or release them to their relatives in the US. That way, the kids are not in jail while a judge or admin determines the outcome of their asylum plea.

Whoever mentioned Lady G made me laugh lol. I like this bill. Pass this bill with addition of more protection in the border in exchange for the Dream Act, it will definitely be alive on arrival to the senate.

I agree with you babe.

Not against this. They should patch the instant green card for cubans too.
