Biden Promises to 'Shut Down the Border' if Bipartisan Immigration Bill Passes

The proposed legislation, facing criticism from both Republicans and progressives, aims to halt asylum screenings when unauthorized border crossings surpass 5,000 over a five-day average.

• President Biden has promised to 'shut down the border' if a bipartisan immigration bill is passed, which would grant him new emergency authority to halt asylum screenings when unauthorized border crossings surpass 5,000 over a five-day average.
• The bipartisan bill, negotiated by Senators Chris Murphy, Kyrsten Sinema, and James Lankford, is expected to be released this week and has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
• Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have criticized the bill for not doing enough to secure the border, while progressives have accused Biden of appealing to a non-existent voter base and perpetuating cruel border policies.
• Senator James Lankford, a key negotiator of the bill, has defended the legislation, stating that it aims to get to zero illegal crossings a day and increases resources for border patrol, asylum officers, and detention beds.
• Despite the criticism, Biden maintains that the bill would be good for America and help fix the broken immigration system.
