It didn’t codify anything except for putting a trigger to mandate the closing of the border where there was no trigger before. The president can still decide to close the border if they see 500 crossings if they want.It did all that.
Just for the first one, Obama's DHS head Jeh Johnson said 1,000 illegals a day was crisis level. This abortion of a bill codified 5,000 a day. That's 1,900,000 / year. And it doesn't even count unaccompanied children, parolees, those who claim a fear of persecution, those that have already been in the U.S. for 14 days, or those already traveled beyond 100 miles from the southwest border.
So that provision is an improvement from the current situation.
