No it didn't. It severely rolls back the asylum system, puts stricter criteria on granting asylum, speeds up hearings and deportations, adds tons of resources to border enforcement, ends "catch and release",
Um, no. It mandates by law that when border encounters (not crossings) average 5,000 per day over 7 days, the border is closed. If encounters reach 8,500 in a day, the border is closed.
And again, those are encounters, not crossings. Under the bill those encountered would either be turned away or, if they make an asylum claim, immediately detained and their case decided within 15 days (with them being detained the entire time).
That's just simply wrong. The bill specifically mandates the capture and detention of migrants until their cases are finished, IOW ending "catch and release".
