Senator James Lankford, thank you for doing your JOB, as an Oklahoma born and raised registered voter since 1972, I am very proud of your work and service. Welcome to the political world.
I’m a Democrat, who lives in a border state, I recognize there has been a Southern Border Crisis for over 3 decades. Senator James Lankford (R), would have my vote if he was in my state. He admits the bill isn’t perfect, but it is a start at addressing border security. The bill also provides an aid package to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Without approval of this bill, Ukraine is an imminent risk of losing more territory, and her citizens in the unprovoked war with Russia. This bill failed for one reason: it is an election year. The crisis at the Southern Border is not just a political issue. If a bill fails because of partisan politics, we will remain divided as a nation, and we will fail as a nation. Thank You Senator Lankford for trying.
No need for legislation. Biden can fix this tomorrow by putting Trump’s executive orders back in place. Republicans are so stupid they’ve put themselves in a position of Biden blaming them for the disaster he himself created
Rs are not faithfully representing the interests of their voters, although they may be faithfully representing their hairbrained worldview, which is an entirely different thing. Holding a serious issue like this “open” with zero willingness to negotiate in a bipartisan way in order to try to get a boost in the next election cycle is unpatriotic and disgusting behavior.
@@CountChocula This was not a good bill for anyone other than defense contractors and do not be naive. Both parties are using this for election purposes, it is not a new thing. Our country would not be in the shape it is in if they were doing the will of the people and the greater good.
Thank you Senator Lankford for your integrity, for your honor and for your commitment to truly serve the American people. I would vote for you because nothing is more important to me than integrity, honor and having the courage and commitment to serve our country genuinely - ABOVE all else! 🙌👍👏
Senator J Lankford ,thank you for all .thank you to the Staff members who Sacrificed for us their Holidays and gave in love to our nation . Thank dearly .. I personally appreciate your honor to the law we as a nation need ..Lets get this done together ..
I agree that border control is a big problem and you have done an amazing job senior at trying to get border security bill passed. Don't give up on it!
SECURE the BORDER. Thank you GOP Senator Lankford. Thank you for the Fact Based Analysis. Bi Partisan because ALL U.S. Agree Border Must Be Secure.(Per Lankford Foreign Terriorist in the U.S.) Chinese & Drug Cartels Crossing the Border FENTANYL) NO MAGA Obstruction. National Security- Serious Issue.
@@breeze8363That's not what the bill does. You're repeating a false talking point. Right now the law is this: if you're an illegal immigrant physically in the United States, you can claim asylum. And once you do, the U.S. government has to thoroughly investigate your claim to see if it's legit. While that's happening, you get to remain in the U.S. And we only have so many holding cells, so for the most part these folks have to be released. THIS BILL CHANGES THAT. It says that if the Border Patrol *encounters* 5,000 illegal immigrants per day, the asylum rights get suspended. An encounter means just what it says. Even now, most people who are encountered are just deported. That won't change. Quite the opposite, because in a situation like this, the number deported goes up since those who claim asylum will also be sent back. (Unless they very clearly seem to be in danger of immediate physical harm.)
Joe Biden needs to use his executive authority to secure the border like Trump did. There’s a reason we’ve had 9 million illegals come in since Biden took over. 9 million!
5000 illegals allowed in per day...per DAY... Can YOU explain what part of this POS Politician's proposal was going to FORCE Biden to comply? They are CURRENTLY NOT COMPLYING WITH THE CURRENT BORDER LAW.... please, please explain what in this JOKE of a bill that would have slowed the invasion????
This is my senator, which I voted for. I took the time to read the bill, it’s not a security bill, it an amnesty bill. The lion share of money goes to funding for the illegals to fund the stay in the country. What he is saying now ,, is not what I read into it
Senator Lankford, I'm so sorry you are being harassed for working in a bipartisanship manner. You honor your oath. Donald Trump has undermined Biden every single day since he became president.
great job Senator Lankford, lets get it done on both borders south and north. On any given day thru Toronto Airport gets around 82 different countries represented from countries of the UN, and some of those are filtered into this country(USA). That is wrong.
Thank you AGAIN Senator Lankford! An example of what Politicians are SUPPOSED TO BE! The most sincere ,hardworking man, devoted to his job and the people he represents! Proud to ,once again, be able to call him MY SENATOR! I knew him when he was my Congressman and he had INCREDIBLE STAFF then! And still does! I was sad to hear that Kristin no longer worked for him but Emily still does. And i can speak ,first hand, about his and his staffs dedication to the people they are representing and working for. And he truly does work for his constituents! Incredible Senator!
Im non party affiliation but id vote for this American hero anyday honestly thank you sir for standing your ground and having the integrity and commitment to the people pf Oklahoma and these greats states, SHAME ON ANYONE QIESTIONING HIS ABILITY AND ABILITY SHAME
I'm a staunch Democrat and don't share much in common in regards to policy with Senator Lankford. However, in this instance, I fully support the Senator from Oklahoma. Regardless of if one is Democratic or Republican, the issue of criminal alien crossings, drug and arms trafficking, and human trafficking at the Southern Border is a serious problem and it is becoming an urgent threat. I wish this would have passed.
This man has a good heart. Republicans and Democrats treat him so poorly. Someone with an actual soul in government is rare. I have my own belief system that doesn't agree with his, but one thing I have always heard him say he wants to find a solution to the actual root of a problem. Most government members just want to solve problem C, but don't care to solve problem A and B which is actually causing problem C.
Senator Lankford instead of talking about this bill not being passed or not why don't you pass something that says a bill cannot be voted on under giving a 20 day period of availability for reviewing instead of hours with hundreds of pages.
Why 20 days? They would have to vote on reviewing the bill before they vote on approving it. I don’t understand what you mean by they will only have hours to review. Explain please
@@Soapboxwarriormost bills like this have pork and endless spending that WONT secure the border in the end!!, they'll have hidden spending agendas. It's smoke and mirrors, that's why time is needed to read the whole bill..

I believe my personal belief there are actually people coming in will be a a positive thing for our country but theres alot worse that dont and harm and are murdering us
Loopholes or not, it is the best border deal that Republicans will ever get. It looked likely to get enough Democratic votes to pass, which is shocking for a bill that provides no pathway to citizenship for all of the illegal immigrants who work so hard (often employed by Republicans!) and pay $11 billion in taxes. The bill doesn't even do anything for the Dreamers -- the immigrants who were brought here as children and don't know any other home. But Republicans saw an opportunity to twist Democrats' arms into voting for something they would otherwise turn down: by packaging it with funding to defend democracy against Russian tyranny in Ukraine. There won't be another immigration bill that's this harsh toward immigrants, because even if Donald Trump should win the presidency, Republicans aren't going to control 60 seats in the Senate, and (because of the filibuster that Republicans (and some Democrats) so often defend), you need 60 votes to advance a bill.
What are the loopholes you’ve identified? What’s your improvement? Citing loopholes without proposing a positive compromise does not move closer to a bill that can succeed.

So why where they allowed in if there was even suspicion they shouldnt be alowed in
