OK.  I would not apply asset forfeiture laws to this issue because there are no assets to forfeit regarding limiting entry into the US.  Let me see if I can explain it in terms you could understand.  First...people have ideas.  They think they're good ideas.  They tell someone to write a law.  The law passes and is enacted.  We'll call them apples.  Then someone has a different idea.  They again tell someone to write a different law.  The law passes and is enacted.  That different law we'll call oranges.

The issue in the article above is the apples.  Your comment is the oranges.  N'est pas?  Oui.
