Theme song (from migrant point of view) of Senate bipartisan border bill, which Biden at debate will pretend was “tough”: https://t.co/5BLHOFTNVU https://t.co/E2inhyiKqA

The 2d big problem, of course, is the bill’s “emergency” semi-shutdown of border (NOT ‘ports of entry’) would only happen after 4,000 encounters/day over 7 days. First 4,000 get in free! Biden’s recent E.O. lowered it to 2500. So how does he berate GOPs for saying 4000 too high?… https://t.co/xhl50doDdO

From ‘must be detained’ to “shall be released”: The alternative pathway of “noncustodial detention” (right) created by the bill seems designed to sluice migrants in quickly–to let “more migrants come here successfully and efficiently,” as New Republic’s Greg Sargent put it. 2/

DEBATE PREP: What Biden will claim was the “toughest” border bill–that GOP rejected–had 2 huge problems. 1)It didn’t end ‘catch & release.’ It codified catch & release. Pass a weak preliminary screening and you “shall be released”–with a hearing supposedly in 90 days (if you… https://t.co/Wi33fosWSZ https://t.co/Yhx0LMUuvb

There’s always a slowdown, or pause, until migrants (and the cartels shepherding them) figure out that they can still get in. Then the flow ticks up again. Biden and Mayorkas have timed it so the pause coincides with the debate. Unclear if it will be sustained through November. https://t.co/DjVfRIS9jn

And, of course, once their relatives back home (and the cartels) see that they’re getting in, many more will come, overwhelming the system further–unless either Mexico or the cartels, to help Biden, stop them from coming until November 5 is safely past. https://t.co/JZ8qSWcK19

Nobody knows how this will play out, but a likely scenario is: Many (mostly bogus) asylum claimants will be required to jump through more hoops, which system won’t be able to handle. Once it’s overwhelmed, they’ll be released by Mayorkas under the “operational” loophole described… https://t.co/5YktbKSK7Z https://t.co/rToH3LmN6t

On @npr, @DLind explains why crossing border illegally even after it’s “closed” (under Biden order) won’t mean you get sent back. Oh no! It just means you have to jump through a few more hoops to get to stay. https://t.co/uD9pLfV0rS https://t.co/5zUOs8UVQD

Good that he knows. But not completely convinced he’s no longer tempted by the idea that if he’s just a little more aggressive Biden will short circuit and melt down. (That might be worth a try if Trump were behind, but he’s not. He has as much to gain by showing he’s not a jerk… https://t.co/eGXb6JLPaJ https://t.co/M3pLJocZC7
