Original Note:
The bill does not "accept 5,000 illegal immigrants a day." The 5,000 figure refers to encounters, not crossings. According to text of the bill, should encounters average 4,000 over a 7-day period, DHS can close the border. At 5,000, a border closure is mandated. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/does-new-immigration-bill-5000-illegal-border-crossings-per-day-rcna136656#:~:text=So%20where%20did,mandatory%20border%20closure
