The long-awaited bill requests $60.1 billion for Ukraine aid, $14.1 billion for Israel and $20.2 billion to improve security at the U.S. border. It also includes smaller pockets of funding for humanitarian assistance in war-torn regions, and defense operations in the Red Sea and Taiwan.

Zoom in: The funding will cover significant asylum and border policy changes over three years.
It raises the standard for the first step of the asylum process, which could lead to more migrants being removed from the U.S. faster.
It requires all asylum seekers be detained or placed in tracking programs until they pass that initial interview or are granted asylum in what would be an expedited 6 month process, in total.
Most notably, the package includes emergency authority to automatically turn back illegal border crossers to Mexico — with no guarantee of seeking asylum — when the weekly average for encounters reaches 4,000 a day. The emergency action would be required at 5,000 encounters a day.
Zoom out: The bill also included a pathway to permanent status for Afghans evacuated and brought to the U.S. under humanitarian parole.
It also adds another 250,000 work and family-based immigrant visas for the next five fiscal years.
It also protects from deportation the children of H-1B visa holders who come to the country legally, but often "age out" by turning 18 before they are able to receive a green card because of long backlogs.

他们首先强调、 they are legal, they are documented, they are asylum seeker.
其次，他们说这些移民数字是镇里协商过的、确实是直接接受很多当地人不肯做的事情，
老牛看来，人家严格按照美国移民法到美国报到，没藏着掖着，当然是合法移民。至于移民法是否奇葩是否要改，那是国会的事。
