Monthly estimates of arrivals at the southwest border
What the document says“The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, on a monthly basis beginning immediately after the date of enactment of this Act, develop estimates of the number of migrants anticipated to arrive at the southwest border of the United States.”
Section 537(a). From enactment, the Secretary must produce monthly estimates of how many migrants are expected to arrive at the southwest border. Subsection (b) requires the estimates to cover this year and next, to break out single adults, family units and unaccompanied children, to undergo independent validation and verification, to inform planning and budgeting, and to be included in budget materials sent to Congress. Subsection (c) requires them to be shared with the Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice and State and with both Appropriations Committees.
What the document actually says“The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, on a monthly basis beginning immediately after the date of enactment of this Act, develop estimates of the number of migrants anticipated to arrive at the southwest border of the United States.”
Each month the Secretary must guess how many will reach the border. That is the border to the south.
The estimate must split out adults, families and children alone. It must be checked by someone else. Budget requests must use it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
