I’d missed this big wrinkle: Apparently you wouldn’t even have to pass a “credible fear” test to be released — just “indicate…an intention to apply for a protection determination.” https://t.co/rUaMlhAolH

I’m tired, but this seems like maybe a good idea-for the House, if not Senate. And if it could pass. Dems couldn’t say Republicans didn’t try. But it might increase the possibility of a conference (or Senate amending the bill and sending it back to House) no? That could be bad https://t.co/VjSVxX3LxA

There’s a column in this for someone.
