NOGALES, Ariz. — The proposed Senate border bill negotiated by Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema would bring sweeping changes to the U.S. border.In Nogales, it could mean the end of the street releases that have been ongoing for months.
The bill puts a cap on the total number of migrants allowed to enter the U.S. asylum system and also makes it more difficult for them to pass their initial screening.“The border system is broken, there are gaps in our asylum system, and they are being exploited by criminal cartels," Senator Sinema said in a call with the media Sunday evening.
It would also suspend new asylum claims if apprehensions go over an average 5,000 people a day for a week, or if there are over 8,500 apprehensions in a single day.“We call that economic migrancy,” Senator Sinema says about the people I’ve been interviewing saying they’re coming to the United States to work. “We’ve got to change the law so the folks who are coming in to claim asylum are actually facing asylum, and are not economic workers.” pic.twitter.
