Kamala Harris, who was given the title of Border Czar by President Joe Biden in early 2021, faced intense scrutiny over her handling of the immigration crisis in an interview with Bret Baier.
Instead of addressing the record-breaking influx of illegal immigration that has exploded under her watch, Harris tried to pin the blame on former President Donald Trump, claiming his influence over Democrats led to a scuttled border security bill.
In the interview, Harris sidestepped questions about the spiraling border crisis, choosing instead to accuse Trump of sabotaging immigration reform.
However, Baier stood his ground, highlighting that six Democrats also voted against the immigration bill. He reminded Kamala Harris that, under this bill, 1.8 million illegal immigrants would be permitted into the country each year.
Recall, according to information obtained by FOX News reporter Bill Melugin, the deal includes:
— Mandatory detention of all single adults.
— Mandatory “shut down” of border once average daily migrant encounters hits 5,000. Importantly, this 5,000 number includes 1,400 CBP One app entries at ports of entry per day, and roughly 3,600 illegal crossings per day.
— How is that enforced? Once the 5,000 threshold is hit, a new authority is codified into law that requires Border Patrol to immediately remove illegal immigrants they catch without processing. They would not get to request asylum, they would immediately be removed. This includes removals back to Mexico, and deportations to home countries. This would be a *massive* change from current policy, which is that once an illegal immigrant reaches US soil, they must be processed via Title 8 and allowed to claim asylum. Under this new authority – they are not processed, and they are mandatorily immediately removed once the “shut down” threshold is reached.
— This “shut down” also takes effect is there are 8,500 migrant encounters in a single day.
— The “shut down” would not lift the next day. It wouldn’t lift until daily encounters are reduced to under 75% of the 5,000 threshold for at least two weeks. This means the “shut down” authority would not lift until two weeks of an average of less than 3,750 migrant encounters per day.
— Some family units will be released with ATD (Alternatives to Detention, ankle monitors etc).
— New removal authority to immediately remove all migrants who do not have valid asylum claims, which will be determined within 6 months rather than the years long process we have right now.
— Any migrant caught trying to cross twice during “shut down” phase would be banned from entering US for one year.
— US will need agreement with Mexico for MX to take back non-Mexican illegal immigrants. This hasn’t been ironed out yet.
