Excerpt:

This “catch and release” policy is one that President Trump has tried to end. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in particular, has made an effort to tighten asylum standards, after cases of “credible fear” skyrocketed during the Obama years. Trump’s efforts have been hindered by a lack of resources at the border. Sessions has been outright blocked by Republicans in Congress.

Congress has absolutely ZERO intention of preventing the next border surge.

They want this invasion, BOTH parties for slightly different reasons, but a shared goal of replacing the current constituencies.

Catch and release has been over since February of this year, when the SCOTUS decision in Jennings v Rodriguez allowed for indefinite detention without a bond hearing.

Now that the DEMS have control of Congress, we shall see how Trump now reacts to granting the mobs asylum. He still has the right to reject their entrance into this country and he sure doesn't need congressional approval.

Not Congress, just the House.
