Lankford is trying to do damage control. He is in the same circle of “Thom” Tillis - i.e., abysmal.

Signing any bill that is not a clean Boarder security Bill, would be a disaster. I hope these GOP Senators realize this could be the defining moment in their careers. They will be hated for millenniums.

Gee what do you propose lanky? That we forbid people from speaking if they say things you and your ilk don’t approve of? People have opinions, and whether true or false, they have z right to voice those opinions‐ that is what free speech is all about- get used to it sir!

Two Step Border Security Package:

Step-1. ENFORCE EXISTING LAWS

This bill is nothing but a Biden rescue bill and Lankford is a rino traitor.

Exzctly! You don’t make drunk driving legal in order to combat drunk driving!

It’s astonishing how fiercely th3 left and their rino ilk are trying to make ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS legal. As well as being illegal, it’s a safety issue that makes our nation far far less safe, and those proposing it are enemies to the nation!

When Trump left office, Illegal Border Crossing were the lowest in History, effectively ZERO.

Why is a DEAL NECESSARY???

“By statute closing the border is left to the discretion of the administration.”

Which is why a new border deal is unnecessary.

“We’re buried by the Obama-Biden axis.”


The third leg of the Axis is every Republican in the house and senate.
Not one of those a’holes even raised his/her hand to seriously protest the systematic destruction of our beloved nation. The only reason things are this bad is because the GOP endorses each and every action. They are the true villans in this nightmare.
Lankford is the face of the GOP..

REMINDER: We (USA Citizens) are only 4% of the world population
WTF Is Wrong With Our Politicians?
Let the other 96% take up some of the load.
(even if THE BIG GUY wouldn't get his 10%.

This list is 6 months out of date:

Close the border first. Stop the leaks before you go to step 2.

Yes, of course he is lying. He has been played for a fool and finally realizes it. The 5,000 a day in the provision have been deemed legal and so they are not illegal. He is a liar and taking us for fools as big as he is.

As someone here has sagely said, if they didn't keep this secret there would be a lot fewer "rumors" to bother them. Instead, they keep it all behind closed doors and secret to spring upon us at the last minute.

Not only is this about more illegals and taking the heat off of xiden it is about another $70 billion for the lost cause of Ukraine and to spread more graft and favor to the defense contractor buddies for benefits gang.

In something resembling a rational world this turd of a bill will be DOA in the House if Johnson has any grit and sense to him at all.

Exactly! Wont enforce the old laws and now were supposed to trust them to enforce new laws.
We need a trigger mechanism that will engage if they fail to uphold the deal.
Tired of Brad Sherman (D)CT, gloating, “We rolled them again.”
They keep poking the bear.

Look at this: Lankford is a key speaker at the International Religious Freedom Summit along with the traitor Mike Pence. I was going to show up, but not for a $139 minimum for “Religious FREEdom”. https://irfsummit.org/speakers/

Given Pence has taken on the mantle of Christian it is fair to judge him, I personally found his actions to be lacking and fall short of honoring our Lord.

Also using Christianity as a cudgel to justify that notion that all illegal immigrants are somehow a special class deserving of our resources uncritically fly’s directly in the face of biblical teaching.

That is too lengthy of a conversation for this though, basically Lankford is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I was talking about the language in the new border deal that is being debated. It only 'authorizes' the President to shut down all intakes once the 5,000 encounters per day threshold is reached, but does not require the President to do so.

“... focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day.” Weasel words. We will never “get to” that goal. “Oops, sorry, we worked as hard as we could every single day.” (reference Bill Clinton book of excuses.)

Do people like this senator even have one clue about how disingenuous they are? Show what has been agreed upon so far.
