NEW: POTUS's "offer" to re-open the government is up. In at least 2 places I've seen, there was a huge effort to mislead press & public: 1) They keep calling this the BRIDGE Act. It is not, its just current DACA 2) This has *massive* asylum restrictions https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/End%20the%20Shutdown%20and%20Secure%20the%20Border%20Act.pdf …
I'm reading in real-time. On asylum: press release says "a further corresponding statutory change would be required to ensure the proper return of those who circumvent the process by coming to the United States without authorization." Will update shortly.
NEW Stephen Miller addition: On page 417, there is a 20% expansion in immigrant jail beds. That is a massive expansion for the Trump administration's ability to keep families detained and part of their long-term strategy. h/t to a friend who is much wiser on this for flagging.
This is also *not* an extension for those who have TPS, despite that is how it was sold. It only covers 4 countries, albeit the largest ones in terms of TPS population, Haiti, El Salvador, Guatemala & Honduras. Excludes all the African countries for example.
On asylum changes, There are at least 2 huge restrictions to asylum: 1) What they're selling as helping with in-country processing is in fact an unworkable program with a cap on asylum numbers and in exchange they will eliminate people's ability to claim asylum at the border...
2) They change TVPRA to that children from contiguous countries like the northern triangle who escape violence and reach the US can be immediately deported with a chance to seek an asylum hearing. Look maybe you think this is good (it is not!)...but they lied about the bill.
