"Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. ... As President, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed. And I will sign it into law."

The bill would fund an increase in ICE detention capacity from 34,000 to 50,000.

It would mean people who arrive in the U.S. illegally would not be able to claim amnesty and it would force the government to shut down the border at times where there is a 7-day rolling average of 5,000 encounters per day, or 8,500 encounters in a single day.

When encounters approach 4,000 people a day, the U.S. government would be granted the power to voluntarily turn away all people at border stations.

there would be tougher asylum requirements, with claimants' criminal history examined, as well as whether they could have resettled in another country

It would create a new expedited removal authority to remove migrants who don't qualify for asylum.

Building the wall, putting more people in cages, turning away refugees (in contravention of international law) and having a dedicated task force to ripping people out of their homes is the explicit Democrat platform, isn't this what voting Dem was supposed to stop??
