Why we checked itA specific numerical claim about the policy effects of the Dignity Act that could materially influence voters' views on the legislation.
What we foundThe Dignity Act does not contain any provision allowing 5,000 more illegal immigrants to cross the southern border daily; the '5,000/day' figure originates from a separate Senate bill and refers to an encounter threshold that triggers border closure authority, not a permitted number of illegal entries.
