@@allwestchesterrealty3502 Its not 5000 people per day. That is a lie.The border SHUTS DOWN if there are 5000 encounters per day. An encounter could be a migrant walking by the river, it is not people crossing the border.
@@allwestchesterrealty3502 You need to listen to what Senator Lankford said. They can process 5000 people a day - not admit them. If they don't have a viable reason to be here, they can't come in
Mr Lankford, although I appreciate what you are doing to support this bill and stated that even DJT agreed new laws were needed, you neglected to remind people that under djt both house & senate were republican, and yet NOTHING was done
I've mentioned that so many times to the brainwashed maga crowd. Which I was briefly part of😢. People need to understand, these politicians created this problem. This border issue isn't organic, it's by design. They will not solve it. If they were serious they would of stopped it before it began. Not one person in the Senate or the house are serious people.
Senator Lankford proved himself to be a strong negotiator by working across the aisle to help craft the strongest border bill in generations. Then he defended it because it is the right thing for the American people, and that is who he works for. Now the MAGA GOP is roasting him alive in service to the worst human being on the planet, and I'm sure virtually none of them even read the bill. It is one of the most sickening things I've ever seen.
I agree. Lankford is a normal Republican. I used to be a Republican until Trump. I will never vote Republican again. I could vote for Lankford but not the rest of them.
You already know if everyone had a gun, a lot less people would be pulling them out in public. Our southern town has been peaceful as can be for as long as I've known. Almost everyone, even granny, has holster at all times.😂
If our founding fathers wanted Congress to do whatever a President wanted, there wouldn't be a separate legislative branch! Imagine how much more free Congress members would be to represent their district's PEOPLE if all voting was by secret ballot!
Why is this so complicated? We are full….close the border, until all that are here are processed the proper way. 10 years is a long time. When you have low income and you need housing assistance there is a waiting list when that list is full it is closed. When the list opens up again you put your name on it….wait your turn.
American business is clamoring for workers, and American business owns the Republican party. They want their base to be riled up, but they will never let the party close the border. I feel bad for republican voters who are being played like a fiddle.
There se to be a time when politicians recognized and accepted their differences but were still willing to work with fellow Americans despite the letter (R or D) after their names. The goal was to serve the people and make the country better, not bow down to a wannabe dictator. Lankford deserves respective to laying it out there and making the case for this bipartisan bill.
@@MrDoyline51they don't want to fix it. They need it as a campaign issue. You'll vote for them like many did in 2016 when they had the WH, the Senate, the House and the SC and they produced no legislation to fix it. Just noise and sloganeering.
He negotiated a super strong bill and got everything the GOP asked him to include. Then the MAGA GOP changed their minds and don't want to fix it. They are the problem.
@@jameswamba4338 Dont forget they got the rich and corporations a huge tax break and the little tax help the rest or us got is set to expire very soon..get ready for your taxes to go up very soon.
Just like Trump wanted to put the military and peaceful protesters to hold up a Bible upside down the aggression and the violence between the American people need to stop it is with the people not with the criminals
@CastleMc The Uniparty is the majority party. Biden has the sole authority to reinstate MAGA Trump's border policies. The Uniparty in congress is not needed to secure our border and deport millions of criminal invaders.
Are you woman enough to do what the migrants do? Travel thousands of miles to try to eke out a decent life for yourself? Work in the farm fields 10 hours a day? Live in the substandard housing that is sometimes provided? Sometimes with running water & with your children working alongside you so you can make enough money? I'd like to see that
He truly is a "Distinguished Gentleman" from Oklahoma.....and I can't think of many other members of Congress who deserve the title. He is one of the very few who deserves our attention and respect.
He believes climate change is a myth and believes life begins at conception and that abortion should be banned. He's not courageous. He's just not a MAGAt. Which is a positive attribute in today's Republican party, but it's still a pretty low bar.
I think Biden is a puppet for the Left while they keep blaming President Trump as the bad guy. I believe Bama is doing his 3rd term illegally in his sweats wearing his sweats, telling Biden what to do, with his ear buds. 😡😡 So what is really going on??? Seriously though. My Opinion
Does Lankford have any clue how long it will take to get ppl hired & trained for all these jobs, regarding illegal immigration? Screen & deport? WTH? Reject before crossing our borders! DO NOT let ppl cross & then deport! Does the 5,000/day include total of all ports of entry & an informed projection of the numbers of those crossing other than at ports of entry? Is he professing his ignorance or thinks WE THE PEOPLE are stupid? CLOSE THE BORDERS NOW!!!! Biden campaigned on improving USA's infrastructure, but Our money is being given to improve all other countries lifestyles! They keep their money & spend Ours'!
We need trade back and forth including American manufacturers making their cars in Mexico for cheaper labor , and people go across the border to go home, visit , etc. So you can’t shut the border
Lol, your skill set must be real low if an immigrant can bounce you out of the job market. They take the hard grunt jobs that you would probably be crying in after 1 hour.
Billions of dollars flow thru the border everyday. Do you like inflation? Close the border and you’ll never get any car parts, building supplies and many other things that are manf in Mexico
I feel sorry for this guy. I vote with the Ds normally, but he did the right thing for the country and the Rs hang him out to dry. Shameful. I'd also give Kyrsten Sinema a lot of credit. She and Langford did a great job negotiating a tough deal. It's called COMPROMISE. It's how virtually every other aspect of life works.
Biden caused this mess when he ended the remain in Mexico policy that trump had in place and now Democrats want Republicans to help them solve the problem they created
@Reality_C who are you listening to? Lankford is as conservative as it gets. He's literally telling you his bill is a good bill from a conservative view. It's not a Trojan Horse just because someone days it is.
@Reality_CI can read, I hope you can too. Bills are written down so you can read them, that can’t be a Trojan horse. The GOP is blocking the most comprehensive and strict immigration bill of the modern era, for only 1 reason, to do daddy donnys bidding. It’s a craven, shameful political stunt and another nail in trumps coffin in November. Enough independent voters will see this for what it is.
They only want the money for war. They will tell you what you want to hear. Vote no and come back with a border security bill, not a fast trak to citizenship.
Thank you Langford you handled this wonderfully and without lying and name calling and with calling Biden terrible lies! So kudos to you if more republicans to talk and deal with things like you maybe things could go better!
Lankford is my senator and a very hard-right Republican. As a Democrat, I thank him for his work on a bi-partisan bill that is a giant step forward to solving the border issue. We are supposed to work together for the common good of our nation, NOT for an 'orange Jesus'. Shame on you Republicans for putting our nation behind your 'chosen one'.
As Lankford said, you can do press conferences without the other side, but you cannot legislate without the other side. Mike Johnson is a rookie who doesn’t know what he’s doing, in conjunction with being an extremist maga cult member.
@@maddogfpv no, he’s actually a conservative. You are the RINO, you stand for nothing, he stands for something. MAGA is a busted flush, it’s a cult gone wrong.
I want to thank Senator Lankford for taking his job serious and actually working for the American people - not a cult. I'm an independent, socially conservative, yet concerned about the great divide in wealth. But, we can all agree to gather & protect our nation!
It's not border security until the border wall is completed. We had a secure border prior to January 20 2021. Why don't you go back to January 19, 2021 programs in affect? Why don't you use programs that worked during the Trump administration? Why not
Senator Langford unfortunately so sad that your Repulican constitutes are not as intellectual as you. You appear to be a logical, intelligent man with a true interest to want to work for your country and the people. I appreciate your speach. The best I've heard throughout all this garbage this year. Be proud your a great man . God Bless you. Maybe you could run for President. Most inspirational politition I've heard since President Biden.
I hear that a lot. What does it mean ? Are you saying to literally shut the gate to all foreign nationals entering the country for any reason ? Or is it code for something I don't know about ?
Solving the issue is listening to the American people as you were sent to do; give the people what they want, close the border!!!! To much chaos for this country.
@@rw9573 Unemployment is at 3.7% The American birth rate is in decline. It's been declining for decades. We need immigration. We need reform, but we don't need retribution.
The President at the time did not create the problem, and obviously none of the Presidents could solve it. I admire Lankford for trying, but it is his party that now celebrates the chaos.
Thank you Senator Landlord for your bipartisan help with trying to pass the border bill. It's a shame that your colleagues didn't agree seeing as they are the ones who stated we have to do something about the border and wanted something passed immediately.
It’s time for us to come together and fix the problems of our country. But nowhere can we say that one person can say I alone can fixes. It’s just a stupid statement! We need to work together as a community
Why should he be ashamed for negotiating the toughest border bill in generations? READ IT. He got everything the GOP said they wanted just 2 months ago. They asked him to do this. Now because Trump doesn't want the border problem fixed, he's the villain. I respect him for trying to do the right thing for the COUNTRY.
The border would always be open and Joe has discretionary judgment for anything. So how would that be a border bill? We will border security, not an immigration bill.
We need a bill that closes the borders & expedites the backlog of asylum claims and deports the illegitimate asylum claims. A 10 - year backlog is not acceptable and should have never gotten so large! We also need to build more border wall, and close up the open gaps.
Thanks James. I appreciate your work and willingness to do what is right. It is sad doing the right thing for the country is so unusual and courageous these days, but obviously it is. I always tell people I don't have to live with everybody else, but I do have to live with myself. You can live with yourself after your work on this whether it passes or not. God job. It gives me hope.
I don't normally support this guy and tend to believe he has fallen victim to the Maga crowd but on this issue the time has come to Fish the bait cutting has been done. Come on congress grow a spine a get a better law for all of America not just the side that pays you.
@@dalbriggss It was everything Republicans had been asking for for years that was within the law. There are 25 senators who initially said this is the best border security bill they could ever dream of and in less than 24 hours they all backed away. Why?
This bill is just put together to take care Ukraine not out border!! 5000 people pre day and then they shut it down? So they know how to shut it down?! Just shut the border down!! We are all immigrants one way or another!! Come in legally , period!!
He is trying to get attention and is not supporting what this nation stands for. senator Langston you need to step down. Oklahomans won't vote for you again!!!! senator
What's missing in the argument is an HONEST and comprehensive discussion of what occurred in the countries long BEFORE the crossings began, what role US policies played and what discussions and agreements that are or not happening NOW between the US & countries involved.
@CastleMc to be fair, at least 20 billion of the 118 billion will go to processing illegal immigrants faster, not for actual border security. 60 billion goes to Ukraine. I was unaware that Ukraine bordered the United States. 🤔🤷🏼♂️
