Having worked at the southern border for 10 years, one discovered that certain occurrences would happen again and again. One such guaranteed occurrence was an immediate significant surge in attempts at unlawful entry whenever there was even a rumor of possible government immigration amnesty or other relief for undocumented persons.

Imagine the House passing a bill to reform asylum and the Senate majority leader won’t allow the bill to be voted upon.
Surely, something you could only find in a fiction novel.
