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.”

Does the bill REALLY do what Lankford says it does?“
No. Biden will ignore anything good in it. Any money for border enforcement will go to process and send illegals all over the country. Not one dime will go to slow the invasion. Lankford is a traitor and this is a rescue Biden bill.
Lest we forget...
“Lankford proposes to replace Columbus Day with Juneteenth”
Forget the “sarc” tag, Butch?
Or is math hard, Barbie?
1/5000 = 7/35000
.
Lankford will do anything for Joe Biden.
Like McCarthy and McConnell.
This bill designed to be attached to a big spending bill for Ukraine was designed to Bamboozle the Republican Voters.
I had read its up to 8,000 per day..here’s an idea, how about NONE per day..how about saying for once “AMERICA IS CLOSED WE CANT TAKE IN ANYMORE” how about THAT for once coming out of these pro amnesty schmucks
The next fight would be the Rats saying 20k/day and the Repukes arguing for a modest 7500. These people are idiots
“Or is math hard, Barbie?”
...Sunday morning.
Why do we even need asylum screening at the southern border?
Are there wars in South America that we don't know about? Are there Central America dictators who are mass killing their citizens that we don't know about?

OK needs to get rid of this guy.
“The next fight would be the Rats saying 20k/day and the Repukes arguing for a modest 7500. These people are idiots”
They are NOT idiots. They know exactly what they’re doing.
“It could be done in one day.”
No kidding. 1,800 miles of concertina wire and an armed force with “shoot to kill” orders would stop it immediately.
I’d really like to see 24/7 Warthog sorties along the border. A few BBbbbrrrrappps from the A10s would send a message.
Lankford. a true Establishment Democrat. Aka, RINO!
Typical Washington B S. All that’s necessary is to actually enforce the laws already on the books. They don’t like that because it doesn’t allow additional spending of money we don’t have. Have you noticed, every new problem Washington creates requires new laws and new spending? It’s the spending they’re focused on, not solving any problem. Corruption follows money as night follows day.
“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.”
The deal allows 5000 a day....It should be “0”.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
excerpt: comparison that shows lankford is up to his gills in DS/Rino faction (aka mcturdle butt boy):
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.
I well and truly hate these establishment Republican senators.
The deal allows 5000 a day....It should be “0”.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
deal allows brandon to legally admit 5000/day or doing the math:
(5,000*365)= 1,825,000 per year.
We do not need a border deal to secure the border.
The government does not need more money to do it.
Everything is place and it simply needs to be enforced as it should be.
And buying every illegal a one way ticket to their country of origin is far cheaper than giving them all the handouts they are demanding.
