The Senate’s border bill establishes criteria for illegal aliens to qualify for amnesty, allowing those who travel 100+ miles into the US or evade capture for 14 days to roam freely.
This means that individuals meeting these conditions would not trigger an emergency declaration or be subject to additional enforcement measures.
The bill specifies that the Secretary of Homeland Security must activate border emergency authority if certain encounter thresholds are met, highlighting the potential impact on immigration enforcement.
Another thought: why would commanding "the Secretary" to "activate border emergency authority" work any better than commands "to detain" and "to remove" illegals that courts have found Mayorkas continually defied? pic.twitter.com/bPytJdqDVQ

“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,” Rep. Dan Bishop said.
“The 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,” the bill text reads.
