The Senate’s pro-migration border bill sets a finish line and a countdown clock for illegal aliens to achieve amnesty.

“If you’re an illegal alien who makes it 100+ miles inside the US, or you last longer than 14 days, congratulations! This bill allows you to roam free,” said Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), an attorney and member of the House Judiciary Committee.

The text Bishop references reads, “[t]he border emergency authority shall only be activated as to aliens who are not subject to an exception under paragraph (2), and who are, after the authority is activated, within 100 miles of the United States southwest land border and within the 14-day period after entry.”

This means any illegal alien who makes it further than 100 miles from the border or evades capture for 14 days will not count towards the triggering of the declaration of an emergency, nor would they be subject to the additional enforcement mechanisms triggered — if Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas chooses — when that limit is reached.

The bill text reads that the Secretary of Homeland Security “shall activate the border emergency authority if during a period of seven consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day; or on any 1 calendar day, a combined total of 8,500 or more aliens are encountered.”

DHS Chief Mayorkas Praises Senate Bill for Preserving Biden’s Parole Pipeline at Southern Border

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is praising a Senate bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) mostly for preserving the administration’s massive parole pipeline that has freed hundreds of thousands of border crossers into American communities.

Late Sunday evening, the senators released their highly-anticipated bill that seeks to explode immigration to the United States even as Biden has welcomed a record number of foreign nationals via the southern border.

The bill, among other things, preserves Biden’s parole pipeline for Cubans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Venezuelans arriving at the border — a feature praised by Mayorkas in a statement he released endorsing the bill.

“The bipartisan agreement in the Senate is tough, fair, and takes meaningful steps to address the challenges our country faces after decades of Congressional inaction,” Mayorkas said:

This agreement builds on this administration’s approach of strengthened consequences for those who cross the border unlawfully, without curtailing the development of lawful, safe, and orderly pathways for those who qualify. While it will take time to fully implement these new measures, the new enforcement tools and resources this proposal offers will further strengthen our ability to enforce the law in the months and years ahead, and we will begin implementing them as soon as it becomes law. [Emphasis added]

Murphy similarly said that the parole pipeline will not be touched by the bill.

“[The bill authorizes] a clarification of how humanitarian parole is used at the land borders, but NO changes to the President’s ability to bring in vetted, sponsored migrants through the program known as CNHV (Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela parole),” Murphy wrote on Twitter.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden’s parole pipeline preserved in the Senate bill has already helped release close to 330,000 border crossers into the U.S. interior.

Mayorkas said he and his team at DHS worked with Lankford, Murphy, and Sinema to produce the bill and urged Congress to pass it.

“I thank the bipartisan group of senators who came together over the past several months to craft this legislation … I call on Congress to pass this bipartisan legislation,” Mayorkas said.

Sen. John Cornyn Raises ‘Serious Concerns’ with Senate Immigration Deal

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has “serious concerns” with the Senate’s just-introduced immigration plan, he told Breitbart News through a spokesperson on Monday morning.

“Now that I have seen text, I have questions and serious concerns,” Cornyn said in a statement to this outlet.

Cornyn’s comment did not say straight up he would oppose or vote for the bill, as Breitbart News had asked his spokesperson, but the fact he’s now publicly raising “serious concerns” with the plan from Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) likely bodes badly for getting him to support it in the end.

Cornyn’s decision to now raise questions and concerns with the plan is a reversal of sorts for him too, as he previously was cheering on Lankford during the negotiations saying as Breitbart News previously reported that the GOP had “unique leverage” in the process.

Now that the bill text was released on Sunday night though, and it’s as House Speaker Mike Johnson said in his statement “worse than we expected,” Cornyn seems to be reading the room and moving back the other away against it. But it remains to be seen if he will vote against it, but the initial reaction from him to it seems to suggest that he would vote no.

Cornyn is also likely trying to keep alive any possible bid for Senate GOP leader when the day comes to replace the longtime Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. Cornyn is frequently talked about as a possible replacement, alongside Sens. John Barrasso (R-WY) and John Thune (R-SD).

Thune has likewise been supportive of Lankford during the negotiations process but has not signaled where he is on this now that the bill text is out and it’s as Johnson noted “worse” than reported before.

Barrasso, though, has been very critical of this throughout the process and is expected to join most Republicans in opposition.

McConnell, though, has been very supportive of Lankford throughout the process and is expected to support the deal. Whatever happens in the Senate, though, Johnson has made clear that this bill is dead on arrival and will never receive a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Steve Daines Becomes First Member of Senate Republican Leadership to Oppose Border Surrender Bill

The Senate Republicans’ campaign chief will not support the widely panned pro-migration border bill revealed Sunday night.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), is the first member of Senate GOP leadership to publicly announce opposition.

“I can’t support a bill that doesn’t secure the border, provides taxpayer funded lawyers to illegal immigrants and gives billions to radical open borders groups,” Daines posted early Monday morning on X.

“I’m a no”:

Opposition from Daines, who is tasked by his Republican Senate colleagues with leading their efforts to retake the chamber, is a powerful signal to Senate candidates, including incumbents, to oppose the politically toxic deal.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) tasked Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) with serving as the face of Republican negotiators but is widely thought to be the driver of negotiations.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made clear that McConnell called the shots for Republicans.

“I have never worked more closely with Leader McConnell on any piece of legislation as we did on this,” Schumer told reporters on Sunday.

Schumer is expected to take procedural steps Monday to advance the bill, the first procedural vote expected Wednesday.

At least three Democrats have indicated they will oppose proceeding with the bill, with others possibly joining. If three Democrats oppose Schumer on Wednesday, a dozen Republican senators would be required for the legislation to proceed.
