Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that his Republican colleagues criticizing the bipartisan border deal are doing so because “it’s a presidential election year.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said, “This bill normalizes 5,000 people coming in a day.”
Lankford said, “Right now these internet rumors is all the people are running on. It would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5,000 people a day. This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There’s no amnesty. It increases the number of border patrol agents, increases asylum officers. It increases detention beds so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals. It ends catch and release. It focuses on additional deportation flights out. It changes our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard, and then get returned back to their home country. This is not about letting 5,000 people in a day. This is the most misunderstood section of this proposal.”

Scumbag and carpet bagger. He isn't even an honest Okie.
Okies: dump this pondscum and take a look at that other one you send to the swamp.
I despised senators of any stripe 50 years ago and I do now, the exceptions are extremely rare. Our Founding Fathers would be horrified if they knew that senators would someday represent a ‘uniparty’ rather than their own states and continue to destroy our country.
Lankford is treasonous scumbag. Call this pricks office and let him have it.
CBS News is reporting that 5,000 per day figure. Perhaps CBS took a weekly figure, and broke it down into days. Or perhaps the bill has changed.

And for the record, 5000 is over twice the Size of Santa Anna’s Mexican Army at the Alamo. So two of those, every day is ok with the skinny preacher.
Are they being flown to States Biden wants votes in?
If I were head of a crooked organization, and playing the long game, I’d distribute these people in purple states and blue states, eroding the voting power of red states.
There are only 435 electoral votes, and the distribution of those votes is not a function of the number of citizens living in the states, it is a function of the number of people living in those states, as legal citizens or here illegally.
Four of the 53 representatives in California, and four of the 53 electoral votes assigned to California are there because of the illegal immigrant population living there. Triple that population of illegal immigrants, add 8 more electoral votes to California, subtract those 8 votes from a red state.
Conservatives (not speaking of the feckless R Party that is cheering the illegal immigration crisis on) think they are WINNING!!! this state v fed battle in Texas. The NGOs and the Democratrepublican Party will just have illegal imigrants shift West, and enter through New Mexico, Arizona, California.
“CBS News is reporting that 5,000 per day figure. Perhaps CBS took a weekly figure, and broke it down into days.”
Who knows, I was having some fun trying to play lawyer, like the Globalists/Neocons here often do.
Illegally and then, with the wave of a Dem-RINO wand, "dreamers" and "oppressed" and ....
what a traitor
Thankfully Cruz didn’t say 7 every two minutes
I am going to lose my bet the left would try to push this under the rug by Monday. Instead they are doubling down on it and creating the illusion of a fix by pushing this pig of a bill.
From what I’ve read, the bill mandates a border closing only after certain numbers are met. So as directed by Biden’s handlers, the government can simply lie about the numbers.
And if this bill passes, that’s exactly what will happen.
If the bill is so good, release the actual text, with footnotes, and a synopsis.
If The People want it, they will push their Senators to support it.
The reason we can’t see it, and there is so much disagreement and conflicting reporting is probably because it doesn’t do what Sen. QuickTrip Lanklord says it will do.
Surprised?
If this bill was so great and Lankford is really pissed that the GOP is fighting against it, why doesn’t Lankford print that bill and put it online for everyone to read?? They never do this and yet we are suppose to believe him over the the rest of the Senators?
it should be 5000 deportations a day.
Lankford is a liar. The Border Deal sucks. Even the RATS say it’s a “legislative win” for the Demented One, Joe Pedo. Basically the deal goes, Joe gets to open the border and he’ll try to limit the number of illegals breaking into American to rape, pillage and murder. Heck of a deal. Mexico is really the big winner.
