The “bipartisan” Senate border bill has been released. It includes whopping amounts of funding for Ukraine ($60bn+), Israel ($14bn+), and billions for “humanitarian assistance” around the world. Little, however, is delivered for actual U.S. border security in the $120bn+ bill, which also includes much in the way of assisting more migrants into the United States.
The bill appears to “provide work authorization for an individual who is determined to be a child,” as well as lowering the restrictions in place for the hiring of new border enforcement agents and asylum processors. The bill would, for instance, remove polygraph screening for new candidates, as well as pay asylum handlers 15 percent extra.
In addition to helping fund Ukraine’s private sector and police force, the bill also limits for how long the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security may declare a border emergency, granting the President authority to end said emergency declaration. Additionally, the bill would grant automatic work authorizations for foreign fiancées, spouses, or children of either U.S. citizens or H-1B visa holders, which is likely to cause a further explosion in migration numbers.
The bill also authorizes a further 250,000 immigrant visas for the next five fiscal years.
The 370-page document will now be scrutinized by lawmakers with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hinting at a Wednesday vote. A summary of the bill follows.
