The deal includes provisions to raise standards for asylum screening and to process claims faster, ends the practice known as “catch and release,” and provides a new authority to close the border when crossings reach a set threshold.
The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component.
Lankford called it “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border and give future administrations the effective tools they need to stop the border chaos and protect our nation.”

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100%!
Shut down the border or shut down the government.
Weepy PIOUS Speaker Johnson either grows a pair or he vacates the Chair.
The Oklahoma GOP has disowned Lankford for this and rightfully so.
“The Oklahoma GOP has disowned Lankford for this”
No kidding!? Had not heard that. That is wonderful news! If only they could recall him now.
"The executive director of the Oklahoma Republican Party (OKGOP) claimed Tuesday that the party’s recent vote to censure Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) for his role in the Senate’s border security negotiations took place at an illegitimate meeting.Stan Stevens, OKGOP executive director, told The Hill the vote to censure Lankford took place during a State Committee meeting Saturday called by party Vice Chair Wayne Hill."
OKGOP Chair Nathan Dahm was not at the meeting, he said, and is “not recognizing” it as “legitimate,” arguing he — along with some other committee members — were not given “proper notice,” Stevens said.
“We don’t recognize the censure of Senator Lankford [or] any other action taken at this meeting because we do not view the meeting as legitimate,” Stevens added.
The bill is a nightmare and it is the rino’s giving Biden a lifeline. God help me l hate these people.
RINO’s gonna’ be rhino’s.
It's up to Biden to act on the border. He refuses to act on the border tells you everything we need to know.
We don't need a bill to give Biden the authority to act on the border.
So, Brian, are you saying we should ignore the worthless U.N.and exit it tomorrow? You’re talking me into it., in fact you’ve convinced me.
The number is reached when Secretary Mayorkas says it is. Since he regularly claims there is no emergency at the border, that will be never.
“Do Langford, Mitch, and their compliant drones really think the voters are that stupid? “
They’ve done the same for decades, and it has worked, so why stop now ?
“Honey, where did I leave my shocked face?
BOHICA
Exactly and since no Bill is actually needed this is the GOPe helping Biden with the issue that has hurt him the most because Lankford and Graham and the rest of them are treasonous scumbags who want to sabotage Trump.
I am unabashedly going to start advocating for US Senator, RON JOHNSON, GOP, WISCONSIN, for US VICE PRESIDENT- candidate.
This man will fight!
Well looks like every single thing the critics of the bill said about it are true and every single thing supporters said about it are untrue.
What everyone is missing is that the 5000 illegal threshold does not FORCE the President to shut down immigration...it ALLOWS HIM TO DO SO!!
Does anyone think Biden is going to do that, other than this ELECTION year?!?!
PUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!
