"There's political pressure to say, 'If we fix the border now, then Biden's suddenly gonna get off the hook and it'll help his presidential campaign,'" Lankford said.


Is this guy compromised or just massively stupid?

Republicans have got to do better. They’ve got to.

The two are not mutually exclusive

Both are possible.

Only in DC can anything under 5k illegals a day not be considered "catastrophic". The limitation on the number of days the president can use his authority to close the border in a single year is also laughable (illegals will wait until the deadline and then flood through).

Lankford is part of the problem ….. he is gaslighting the American public

I’m not a soothsayer, but it certainly falls in line with what I’ve always said about Republicans, in the Lindsay Graham mold. And it is this:

We need to go ahead and lose now, so we can gain sympathy points so we can win later.

They think that losing now promulgates winning later.

And that’s where they get this nomenclature of “cuck”.

This “fix” is nothing but a deliberate attempt to destroy this country. And there are Republicans like this guy who are in on it. This dude should be run out of Oklahoma.

Doesn’t anyone want to ask him why Biden can’t just close the border without a Ukraine deal?

They know the lemmings are too stupid to research the bill or what they say, so they can pretty much pass anything they want and claim it does what folks expect it to do...

Our political system is so broken that it is not even funny...

What Lankford won't explain is how his shite Dim friendly legislation will codify the invasion of the US with nearly 2 million illegals entering the country every year with work permits and eventually government entitlements. It's always OMB with these compromised politicians.

My favorite part is when Lankford Trumpets that if illegal crossings reach 5K a day then the bill would give the government the power to close the border.

Brilliant!

Both.

People who fail history are bound to repeat it. And the 1986 immigration mess was a case of history that gets obscured by most so that it can be repeated.

If people would cook their own food, mow their own lawns, and repair their own cars immigration would drop.

Yep, they have the power to shut the border now but don’t, so an improvement is letting them close it when they hit a quota of 5K illegals? GTFO with that shite.

Correct, we dont need another law we need the ones we have enforced. Then again it reminds me of the review of the FBI and the summary:

We could reccomend policies/procedures to prevent the injustices.....but if they are not following the existing ones, what good will new ones do?

As a sidenote, anyone notice the multibillion dollar kicker for Ukraine is never mentioned in this bill?

He's dead right. That's exactly why the Republicans won't make a deal. But I'd like to ask him this: why is it that the Democrats didn't offer this two years ago? Because there was no election coming up, and their strategy is to swamp America with foreigners.

That shite legislation codifies the invasion of the US with nearly 2 million illegals entering the US every year with work permits waiting.

No, James. People are pissed and oppose your shitty plan because it does absolutely nothing to fix the border.

It does pour more money down the Ukraine pit though.

You are a smart person.

You really think the only reason Republicans wont sign a deal that agrees to millions of illegals flooding our border every year is politics?

Come on, be objective here.

It may be why the politicians don’t make the deal…

Because they know that if they do, they will be LUCKY if they are just voted out.
