President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump.
The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations.
The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

8,500 per day is 3,125,000 per year....FREE and clear. NO way.
This is STILL just open borders.
ZERO per year is the proper number of illegals.

I would rather that we deported 8,500 illegal aliens a day. However, it would still take several years to get rid of them.

Re #2, probably at least 8 years at 8500 deportations per day. We need more like 10,000 or 15,000 each and every day for years.
10,000 per day is 3.65 million per year, for 25 million illegals now present...that's 7+ years.
15,000 per day is 5.475 million per year, so that's about 4.5 years to get the 25 million out.
20,000 deportations per day works out to 7.3 million per year, so about 3 1/3 years, and that's starting to be a good number.
Probably would be better to deport 25,000 per day....that's 1,000 days, 2.7 years to clean up this festering mess.
50,000 per day is 500 days....about 16 months. THAT would be wonderful. That would require 1,000 buses per day to cross the border southbound, each with 50 illegals shackled in it.

But 8,499 per day is completely acceptable! Absolutely insane and unsustainable!

8,500? Really? It's a ploy to keep illegals coming in.

The acceptable number of illegals is zero per day.

Please remove the word "crackdown" from the headline. It is a joke.

If they can close the border after 8500,
why can't they close the border after 850,
or 85,
or 0?
Why wouldn't they want to?
Because chaos is the goal?

NO! The Border should CLOSE until all of the Illegals have found homes and jobs here. Many should be deported, but it's going to take time to round them all up. A good start would be to say ANY Illegal who is arrested should go to Jail for 30 days, (then be deported) and if they touch a Policeman they should go for a year, then be deported! Probably cheaper to feed them in Jail then at some fancy Hotel in NYC! Also, we should have groups of Special Officers looking for gang members in every City the Illegals are living in. Weed them out and send them back!

This is for votes for the 2024 election and for bragging rights at the State of the Union speech. Will it be enforced? Probably not.

So the-y plan on having the illegals come through single-file at 1 location so they can be counted?
Yeah - that'll work says Brandon.

Don't be a Sucker. 8,500 is the starting number. Unaccompanied minors and refugees from specific countries will be exempted from the count.
It could regularly be above 10,000 per day before anyone is stopped.

This is a bogus attempt by Biden and the globalist Democrats to fool the American people during the run up to the November election. Biden and the globalist Democrats created this crisis by encouraging and inviting potential illegal aliens from all over the Third World “to surge” to the USA borders to be allowed into the USA under the guise that they “could” be found to be eligible for asylum in the USA.
A ridiculous Biden policy, as there are several billion such poor and uneducated peoples residing in the Third World today, and as Biden and the globalist Democrats knew that over 90% of such borderline created past asylum cases filed by illegal aliens were routinely denied by immigration judges after court hearings where those cases were ether found to be completely fraudulent or did not meet he legal standards in accordance with the asylum laws that would justify a grant of asylum. The Biden “open borders” political scheme was initiated to flood the USA with as many Third World origin illegal aliens as possible who would be designated as being members of minority groups by way of Democrat identity politics, grant the illegal alien population a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty and transform them into tens of millions of future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters in the years ahead, and to then allow their foreign extended families into the USA to join all their “New American” leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters that could easily increase the original legalized alien population by about a factor of six.
Now Biden and the globalist Democrats have been proposing that the basic immigration laws be changed, or he will take “executive action” to effectively allow eighty five hundred illegal aliens to unlawfully enter the USA everyday, or over three million illegal aliens into the USA each year before supposedly effective immigration law enforcement protocols could be put in place by supposedly closing down the border. If you look at that Biden and globalist Democrat proposal there will no doubt be included all sorts of waivers that would allow Biden to keep the borderline open, even after the eighty five hundred supposed daily limit on illegal aliens being allowed to enter the USA is reached, through Biden’s proposed “tough” border stance.
Notice that Biden and the globalist Democrats are falsely claiming that Trump used such a law in the past that is pure baloney. In reality Trump used executive action policies to require all so-called “asylum seekers” along the borderline to remain in Mexico until after their asylum claims were finally decided. Those massive numbers relating to unlawful border crossers do not even account for the unknown number of aliens who the Biden crew has been granting temporary visas to enter the USA as “tourists” who once in the USA joined the illegal alien population and did not leave the USA after their supposed temporary stay period expired. If the wimpy Republicans go along with what Biden will be supposedly proposing they would be committing long-term political suicide.

It doesn't matter what laws get passed - Dems will ignore the law and still let illegals flood into the country.

BS. Only a democrat would believe this is somehow useful. Trump wants ZERO illegals to cross. Does that 8500 include the steady stream coming in through Vermont?

They probably already have a contingency plan with the non-profit groups that teach the migrants what to say when they arrive to just get 8,499 per day, every day, until America is just like the h*llhole they left.
