Lankford cites 'election year' for waning GOP support on border bill: 'Not about letting 5000 people in a day' \| Fox News "Right now there's internet rumors is all that people are running on. It would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5,000 people a day," Lankford told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There's no amnesty." Lankford argued the bill increases the number of Border Patrol agents, increases asylum officers, and increases detention beds "so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals."

Keep in mind glorious leader hired illegal aliens by the bushel until he was caught... then like all of his ex-associates he threw them under the bus.

Bill, That bill let 5,000 illegals a day come in. NBC News is calling B.S. on that claim: The bipartisan border deal would not allow 5,000 illegal crossings per day, despite what Trump says (NBCNews) ***** So where did this 5,000-a-day figure come from? The bipartisan deal does include provisions that would shut down the border entirely if a certain threshold is hit, but those are border encounters, not crossings. As noted above, no migrants trying to enter the U.S. illegally would be allowed into the country unless they passed asylum interviews or were being held under government supervision. Under the new immigration bill, the Department of Homeland Security could close the border if too many migrants were showing up with asylum claims. After negotiators conferred with the Border Patrol and officials at the Department of Homeland Security, they crafted the legislation to give DHS the authority to close the border if they reached a seven-day average of 4,000 or more border encounters. A seven-day average of 5,000 or more would mandate a border closure. If the number exceeded 8,500 in a single day, there would also be a mandatory border closure. What happens if the border is closed? If the border were shut down, at least 1,400 migrants per day who tried to enter at official ports of entry would still qualify to have their asylum claims considered. The rest would be turned away. Migrants encountered between ports of entry would be immediately turned away. If the same person tried to cross twice when the border was shut down between ports of entry, the person would be barred from entering the U.S. for one year. To reopen the border, crossings would need to slow to below 75% of the number that triggered the border closure for seven days. DHS would then have up to two weeks to slowly reopen the border based on capacity. There would be a limit to how long the border could be shut down, to avoid abuse of the authority. For 2024, it would be capped at 270 days, but the number is designed to fluctuate year by year, as negotiators hope that migrant crossings would slow with the new law in place. ***** Tenchusatsu

That bill let 5,000 illegals a day come in. What will they do when illegal alien #5001 is a weeping widow holding a couple of bambinos? Tell her "Sorry, but you missed the cut and have to go back home"? I don't think so. What's the number now? 10 to 20+ million illegal aliens already here? The public doesn't want that joke of a bill. They want the border closed. Period. And start large scale deportations, beginning with young single male gang members. Every single one of them has committed a crime by invading the country without permission. No more fiddley fucking around. Finish the wall (although Biden has sold off most of the materials at a big loss), supplement the Border Patrol with all the National Guard units needed. Quit going after States like Texas that are trying to do what the Feds refuse to do. Put a stop to it..
