Even on this one point there are about half a dozen things you aren't listing that are wrong with it.Recent high marks for illegal immigration have topped 10,000 per day.
The bill would state that if there are 4,000 on average, then Homeland Security can close the border. If it hit 5,000 average per day, or 8,500 in just one day, the border is AUTOMATICALLY shut down.
I realize you want it to be zero. I'm not sure that's realistic, but ok, starting from there..... that will not pass. THIS bill -- if Trump had not intervened to kill it to help his election chances -- would have passed and would have been a step in the right direction.
Those of you unwilling to admit that this is the umpteenth example of election year politics -- this time from Trump -- becoming a roadblock to addressing this issue are simply fooling yourselves.
The President can unilaterally re-open the border - at anytime, for any reason.Recent high marks for illegal immigration have topped 10,000 per day.

Doesn’t mean a damn thing if the Executive is vested with the power to set the entire law aside - which he is.The Border Patrol seems to like this. Don't know anything about the politics of this group

If Dems are worried about the border why is Schiff and the DnC stonewalling HR 2 which pass back in June of 23??Nor according to Trump, when he was President. Trump said in 2019 that he needed authority from Congress to actually close it.
Of course, now he's running. And so does not want progress to be made.
Their politics are irrelevant. These are the people who deal with border issues every day so their endorsement matters.The Border Patrol seems to like this. Don't know anything about the politics of this group

You're believing what the MSM is feeding you. These Senators have no obligation to follow Trump's orders. They're not supporting it because it's a bad bill. If the Senate Republicans voted down HR 2 then you might have somethingIts a fact that Trump has blocked it. Numerous GOP Senators have confirmed that Trump told them to kill the deal to prevent Biden from having any success on the issue.

Trump didn't need billions from Congress to secure the borderThe bill, which Trump is trying to prevent from passing for his own campaign purposes, has specific provisions as to fentanyl. The bill would add $723 million is to hire additional Customs and Border Protection officers and Border Patrol agents and support Border Patrol overtime and $424.5 million is to combat the entry of fentanyl and other illicit narcotics from entering the U.S.
But hey, Trump wants to campaign on the issue. All progress must be stopped in its tracks to help him in the polls.
Honestly, I don't know who is worse: Trump for shouting for years that this is the primary threat to the country, yet he undermines any progress on it; or those yahoos particularly in the House who are doing his bidding. The whole lot of them have ZERO credibility now on border issues.

Right, because you, Laura Loomer, Zerohedge and the whoever else's tweets you are all salivating over in this thread today have more expertise in border issues than the border patrol themselves. Get over yourself bro, you are not nearly as informed as you think you are.
