Notably, this bill would not stop anyone from being allowed to set foot 
on U.S. soil. It would not, therefore, do anything to bring down “the 
numbers” on its own. The bill’s proponents hope instead that it will 
reduce the number of people who are allowed to stay in the U.S. outside 
of immigration custody, and therefore, through word of mouth, reduce the 
number of people trying to come to begin with.

What we have seen, time and time again, is that adding additional 
penalties or complications to the process for asylum seekers once they 
arrive in the U.S. immiserates those asylum seekers without having a 
lasting impact on overall border arrivals. This is especially true when 
the process is made longer and less certain, contributing to bottlenecks 
throughout the system including dangerous border overcrowding.

What is instead needed is a way to resolve these cases quickly and 
certainly—taking months, not years...
