Sen Lankford (R-OK) Mouths "that's true" about BiPartisan Senate Border Bill

Because it leaves out the biggest issue in their party.

It does not work in Trump's interest.

 

Get the popcorn ready.

 

Before anyone even saw the bill or knew what was in it, they were pushing to have is squashed...can't hand Biden a win in an election year!!

 

Any deal that is dependent upon Joe Biden holding his end of the bargain, is no good. I don’t trust anything he says. He has not enforced the immigration laws that are currently on the books. Why would he enforce the law now? In addition he’s flown in over 300 aliens with his back door deal.

 

Because the legislation gives him the resources to enforce the law?

It’s astonishing to me that you Trumpers imagine that law enforces itself unless you deliberately don’t do it.

No, it requires the the authority and the resources. And you’re deliberately choosing to deprive Biden of both and blaming him for your choices. Ludicrous.

 

Because it would have allowed 5,000 illegal immigrants in a day before triggering enforcement.

 

False all around. Here's what Sen. Lankford, R-OK, had to say about that lie that was going around.

“It’s not that the first 5,000 [migrants encountered at the border] are released, that’s ridiculous,” Lankford said on the Senate floor. “The first 5,000 we detain, we screen and then we deport. If we get above 5,000, we just detain and deport.”

 

You mean like we did for the last 20 years ?

It allows 5000 to APPLY for asylum…

 

You know, I have made this very point a number of times as it's about physically processing illegals at the entry points not letting 5000 into the country daily. KUDOS for you to do the due diligence as it's mischaracterized all the time. Sometimes I don't have the energy to counter firehose of disinformation BUT it must be done so, thank you.

 

Just stop! Using facts in your arguments will no longer be tolerated!!!!

 

Yes, House Majority Steve Scalise started this false rumor. Senators Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz also put out a lot of misinformation in the Senate, basically bad-mouthing the 4 months of work by James Lankford and others.

 

He agreed to a couple of the statements, he did not endorse everything Biden presented.

Nice try though.

 

Right, and that's why Trump creamed all others in the primaries?

 

But that's also why he lost in 2020 and the Red Wave didn't happen in 2022. Sensible Independents don't want a sore loser election denier.

 

Meanwhile the sitting President of the United States APOLOGIZES for calling a murdering invader illegal. I would not be surprised to see a campaign video which depicts Biden washing the feet of the killer and giving him citizenship.

Any Republican signing any deal with Biden is not a conservative and does not care about Americans.

 

This bill is an open border bill. There's no justification for passing it

 

Nonsense^^^, we both know that and the reason why it was killed is because Trump wants chaos at the border to be an issue he can campaign on. And that's what his entire message at rallies is.

 

It allows people to illegally cross the border, BEFORE the president can close the border.

You're damn right it's an open border bill.

 

No it allows 5000 people to be processed at an entry port and the majority would be turned back if they could not prove the need for asylum. Greater than 5000 people per day is too much to be processed so the border would be closed for the day. Jesus WBK, you people think Lankford got rolled? The dems were giving it all up.

 

Exactly...lol. Did you think that post through, before posting it?

It allows 5,000 entries per day, then the port of entry is closed .

First off, it allows 5,000 entries per day. Second, it doesn't say a damn thing about securing the border...lol

 

It allows 5000 illegals TO BE PROCESSED NOT NECESSARILY LET IN! Please stop mischaracterizing that very important distinction.

 

Can you possibly hear yourself?...lol

 

Can you possibly stop deflecting from the facts in my post and stop the strawman reach trying, and flailing , to make it about me?! We can do better no, WBK?!

 

The fact is, the bill opens the border to 5,000 people a day and doesn't secure the border.

 

Opens the border for 5000 people to be PROCESSED not let into the country.....the border is secure at all manned points.
