The 2024 Border Act? It wasn't remotely strict - just one of the issues:
The Border Act does provide the president with authority to close the border down when illegal crossings between ports of entry reach an average of 4,000 per day for more than seven days. This is not mandatory, however, unless the average rises above 5,000 per day for more than seven days, which would be more than 1.8 million per year. And even that provision would sunset in three years. - https://thehill.com/opinion/4812643-border-act-2024-reforms-biden/ https://thehill.com/opinion/4812643-border-act-2024-reforms-...
