Senate border bill says non-Mexican children won't be counted in migrant total to trigger mandatory shutdown
Fox News
A Senate border package says "noncontiguous" unaccompanied children will not be included in the weekly limit of border crossers that triggers an emergency.
"The new ‘break glass’ emergency authority is a disaster. The Secretary ‘may’ use it if there are 4,000 or more aliens encountered each day (28k per week, 121k a month, 1.46 mil a year). But he ‘must’ use it when there are more than 5,000 a day over a week or 8,500 in a single day. Those are insane numbers and totally unacceptable to the American people," the group wrote.

"And Non-Mexican UAC are NOT counted in the total that triggers the emergency authority," they added.
