'RINO' Sen. James Lankford Slammed for 'Amnesty Disaster' Border Deal That Will Be 'Dead on Arrival'
On Sunday, the U.S. Senate finally released the text of its border deal between Democrats, President Joe Biden and Republicans, and conservatives everywhere are furious over the “sellout” bill sponsored by Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford.
Indeed, there is so much that is bad in this monstrosity that the Republicans in the House of Representatives are already signaling that the bill is “dead on arrival” in the House.
Not many on the center right feel that Lankford got it anywhere near correct with this 370-page bill named HR 815. And he is being widely excoriated for dropping the ball and making our already failed immigration and border security policies even worse.
Sen. Lankford’s own state Republican Party members are so furious over this mess of a bill that they have passed a censure of their man in the upper chamber.

And the bill is not getting much support elsewhere, either.
As always, former President Donald Trump led the chorus calling the bill a disaster.
“Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat, would vote for this horrendous Border Bill,” Trump wrote in a message on his Truth Social account on Monday.
Others also said the bill is a solid “no.”
It’s still a NO. https://t.co/VHuFqEQOKp

We will kill this senate bill. DOA. https://t.co/zFn8iWJ53A

I’m a hard NO on any bill legitimizing illegal immigration.
As I read the Swamp’s latest amnesty disaster, I’m already noticing many damaging and dangerous provisions.

This bill is the worst screwing in the Senate since that Dem staffer filmed his porno on Klobuchar’s desk. https://t.co/v8WDDcgaAf

Let me be clear: The Senate Border Bill will NOT receive a vote in the House.
Here’s what the people pushing this “deal” aren’t telling you: It accepts 5,000 illegal immigrants a day and gives automatic work permits to asylum recipients—a magnet for more illegal immigration.

Under a President who started and could stop this crisis tomorrow, and whose solution to illegal immigration is to legalize it, any proposal that fails to fully secure the border is unacceptable. I’m a hard no. (2/2)

If @SenatorLankford had negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, @SpeakerJohnson’s home state would be Mexico right now.

I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, “the border never closes.”
If this bill reaches the House, it will be…

If the same guy that is being impeached for not securing the border is endorsing your border security package – maybe it’s time to go back to the drawing board… https://t.co/PTBUCrIil7

Democrats are bragging that under the Biden/Schumer/Lankford/McConnell Amnesty Bill the “border never closes” and they will put an immediate work permit in the hand of every illegal who crosses the border.
NO AMNESTY! SECURE THE BORDER!

Members of the conservative media have also begun finding the outrageous provisions of the bill and the Republican senator sponsoring it:
For those keeping track at home, that’s almost 400 percent more tax money for foreign countries than for our own country https://t.co/1Vitl4X190

This is Sen. James Lankford
He helped negotiate the border bill that doesn’t close our borders, forces a Trump 2nd term to take in illegals, and sends $60 bil to Ukraine
James Lankford is a RINO Globalist
He hates his own voters
Well guess what James, the feelings are mutual pic.twitter.com/zLuP0yUeZh

Last month Senator Lankford said it’s absurd to let 5,000 people a day enter our country illegally.
His bill released yesterday would allow 5,000 people a day to illegally enter our country.

This should tell you everything you need to know about the “Republican” who gave us the most ridiculous border bill pic.twitter.com/tw5CICuuSy

Mitch McConnell and James Lankford want Republicans to vote for an amnesty bill that only gives $650 million to finish the border wall, but gives $60 BILLION to Ukraine. They really do put America Last!!!
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 5, 2024
As CNN noted, there is also some $60 billion of our tax dollars for Ukraine in this atrocity, a provision that is especially a no-go for many Republican voters.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is happily celebrating how closely he worked with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Lankford to craft this bill. And that right there has enough Republicans furious.
We can only hope that GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson sticks to his proclamation that this bill is “dead on arrival” in the House.
