There's nothing particularly notable about a mandate, and the Heritage proposal was wildly different in every other respect. Notably, it only called for skinny, catastrophic plans.

“It says Romneycare on the Wikipedia page, so clearly it was his idea.” If only you had read the article, you’d have seen the discussion of the legislative history where he vetoed most of the bill and it was passed over his objections.

"Claim"? Better to respect the rule of law. Since "ERA ratification" by the Virginia legislature in January 2020, federal judges by 18-0 have REJECTED attempts by pro-ERA litigants to have the ERA recognized as part of the Constitution. 13 were named by Democratic presidents, 5 by Republicans.

If they get a positive screening, yeah - I think those regs are flatly contrary to the statute, but whatever. If they don't request asylum, or if they're waiting for an interview, the regs call for them to be detained. Eg 8 CFR 235.3 (b)(2)(iii).
