The Maga Republicans Already Have a Migration Bill.

1/30/2024

The discussion this month  is about the Senate  Border Policy bill.  Maga Republicans see the proposals  as too generous.
 
But, the Republicans already  have a migration bill. It is HR-2. 
 
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2
The bill  passed in the House. HR 2. On May 11, 2023 

This is what the House will start from. 
Introduced in House (05/02/2023) This bill addresses issues regarding immigration and border security, including by imposing limits to asylum eligibility. requires DHS to create an electronic employment eligibility confirmation system modeled after the E-Verify system and requires all employers to use the system. Passed on May 11, 2023. 
 
It includes endless negative proposals such as building the wall plus  including the following.
 
DIVISION B--IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS
TITLE I--ASYLUM REFORM AND BORDER PROTECTION
This title imposes additional requirements for asylum eligibility. 
(Sec. 101) This section expands provisions that bar certain individuals from applying for asylum.
Currently, an individual may not apply for asylum if that individual may be removed to a third country (i.e., a country that is not the applicant's country of nationality or last habitual residence) if that third country has (1) a full and fair asylum process that the individual could use, and (2) an agreement with the United States allowing for such removals. This section expands this provision by authorizing removal to third countries that do not have an agreement with the United States.
This section also bars an individual from applying for asylum if the individual traveled through at least one third country before arriving in the United States, with certain exceptions (e.g., the individual applied for and was denied asylum in that third country). 
 
The Speaker of the House Johnson  says  that these are the minimums to achieve progress on resolving the enforcement at the border.

Note. This article makes references to working with the DSA Immigrants Right Working Group.
 
The U.S. needs to develop new policies about immigration. The Congress has failed to come to a compromise for over 30 years.  In response to the current economic crises in Latin America, Africa, and Asia and the world wide environmental crisis, the migration crises continues to grow.
 
It is not sufficient to develop and repeat slogans. 
 
Here is the resolution written by members of the IMWG, and adopted by the convention. It provides a good start for consideration of the many interactive  issues.
