Senator James Lankford is a Republican who worked with Democrats on putting that horrendous dump of an immigration bill together. Seems Lankford has seen how furious his own party is with him and has been trying to do some damage control.
Trying being the key word there.
The Border Emergency Authority has been the most misunderstood or maybe just misrepresented parts of the bill. Some people have said it would mean 5,000 people a day are coming into the country every day. That is absurd and untrue.

Absurd.
K.
He continued:
The emergency authority is not designed to let 5,000 people in, it is designed to close the border and turn 5,000 people around.

We shouldn't allow anyone to illegally cross the border, Sparky.
This isn't rocket science.
The Border Emergency Authority only lasts 3 yrs to force this Admin to shut down the border & to give time for the next POTUS to hire more agents & more officers. After three years, the emergency authority expires because we should have regained full control of our border by then

K.
Again.
As you can imagine, this hasn't gone over very well for Lankford.
Jim, stop treating us like we are idiots. We see what you’re doing. https://t.co/9mvJUVuPbC

They really are complicating what should be a very simple thing.

My my, but that is a majestically well-deserved ratio you've got there, Jimmy... https://t.co/y8nG11u0TY

Here’s a bill. Close the border tonight. Period. Let’s reduce illegal crossings to zero. Cool? https://t.co/5FzvGJiMDH

Or you know, Biden could simply enforce the laws already on the books and secure the border.
But he won't.
The American people know absurdity when they see it Senator, and this bill qualifies 100%. https://t.co/JWagF5zjRd

Totally.
Woof. We have seen people take some massive arse-whoopings on Twitter but THIS ONE may be the worst. Or best, depending on how you look at it.
