Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced the resolution on the Senate floor, where it's expected to be taken up within a matter of weeks. The two senators, in back-to-back speeches, stressed that the Senate's vote wasn't about whether a senator supported the U.S.-Mexico border wall or Trump but about maintaining a separation of power between the executive and legislative branches on funding the government. "I support, strongly support, protecting the institutional prerogatives of the United States Senate and the system of checks and balances that is central to the structure of our government," Collins said. Reported similarly: Reuters [2/28/2019 4:04 PM, Susan Cornwell] 2 Law360 [2/28/2019 8:05 PM, Nicole Narea] Lawmaker deployed to border warns: Pulling out troops will lead to 'massive' illegal immigration Washington Examiner [2/28/2019 4:00 PM, Anna Giaritelli, 629K, DC] reports a Republican congressman who served alongside the National Guard on the U.S.-Mexico border this month is warning that the decision by some states to remove guardsmen will lead to a new wave of illegal immigration that will be "massive" in scale. Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a lieutenant colonel and pilot in Wisconsin's National Guard, said fewer troops in border states will prompt more migrants who might have applied for asylum at ports of entry or in their home country to instead pay cartels to get them into the United States. He warned that reducing border troops will make it easier for cartels to smuggle them through. "Those people turn around and pay the cartel money and make the journey, and some of them end up getting abandoned by the cartel and abandoned in the desert," Kinzinger said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "If you secure the border they're going to come here the legal way." "I'm moderate on immigration," he continued. "I just think securing the border is the humane answer." [Editorial note: consult source link for video] Since Trump restricted flow at border, more migrants trying to sneak through undetected NBC News [3/1/2019 4:33 AM, Julia Ainsley] reports that undocumented immigrants are increasingly choosing to cross the U.S. border illegally rather than waiting in line to claim asylum at legal ports of entry, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by NBC News. Immigration lawyers and rights advocates say asylum seekers are opting for illegal crossing because they are growing frustrated with waiting lines caused by Trump administration policies. In recent months, CBP has restricted the number of immigrants who can be processed for asylum at ports of entry and has begun turning back asylum seekers, who must now wait in Mexico while their cases are decided. An official from the Department of Homeland Security said those abandoning legal entry points may not have legitimate asylum claims. In January, U.S. officials finalized a deal with Mexico that forces asylum seekers who present themselves at the legal port of entry in San Diego back across the border to Tijuana. There they must wait months or years, often in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, while an American immigration judge determines whether asylum can be granted. The policy, known as Remain in Mexico, may soon spread to other ports of entry if Mexico agrees to shelter the immigrants at other locations. Illegal crossers, meanwhile, do not have to wait in Mexico, even if they are caught. Immigration advocates and lawyers say immigrants are being warned about the conditions in cities like Tijuana and are increasingly choosing to risk apprehension by the Border Patrol while crossing into the U.S. illegally instead of waiting in Mexico. Due to a U.S. policy known as metering, only about 40 to 100 immigrants per day are permitted to enter. DHS says metering is a result of only being able to process so many asylum seekers per day, due to limited resources. However, the Trump administration has not increased its manpower for processing asylum claims at the border, though it has increased border enforcement officers and numbers of military troops. Why is the US still separating migrant families at the border? Public Radio International [2/28/2019 11:00 AM, Tania Karas, 121K] reports Mario Perez- Domingo's 2-year-old daughter was taken from him around July 5, more than a week after a 3 federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration to stop systematically separating migrant children and parents at the US-Mexico border. They'd just arrived in Texas.
