I’d guess that every provision of the “Moderate” bill has strings to pull back everything they seem to give.
“guaranteed funding of $25 billion for a physical wall along the Mexican border” ...over ten years, dependent on annual appropriation.
“scales back family-based immigration visas” ...and likely allows them to spring back to even higher levels at any time - maybe even adds new weasel words to allow some apparatchik to declare an exception that throws open the floodgates, as soon as folks look away.
Wall funding over ten years, legalization in ten weeks - same old song and dance.
The Goodlatte Bill was the honest policy. I’ll bet that this “moderate” one will just be the same old bum’s rush to push through a thousand page bill without letting the public see it, or Congressmen read it, before voting. Another devious attempt to let immigration transform our Country to a permanent Democratic Party majority, implement socialism, and get rid of those troublesome Constitutional checks and balances.
But the Congressmen will get to mollify their donors, for the next few months during the election fundraising push.
“guaranteed funding of $25 billion for a physical wall along the Mexican border” ...over ten years, dependent on annual appropriation.”
Translation = one , maybe two years of appropriation, and then Zero.
