Lankford's Proposal Betrays Conservative Immigration Principles
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 3 hours ago
In a shocking display of political opportunism, Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma is pushing a border security proposal that risks undermining the very effectiveness of the Trump administration’s bold immigration policies.
During a recent appearance on CBS, Lankford touted a bipartisan immigration bill that he co-authored with President Biden, asserting that it would have been more effective than the Trump-era measures that successfully curbed illegal crossings at the southern border.
This claim doesn’t just fly in the face of recent evidence; it also represents a troubling departure from the solid conservative values that many Oklahomans expect from their representatives. Lankford's bill, which faced significant backlash from conservative constituents last year, includes provisions that would allow thousands of illegal immigrants entry into the country before strict removal protocols take effect.
Lankford’s assertion that his legislation could have brought about better outcomes in border security is baffling. With the Biden administration’s policies leading to massive surges of illegal crossings, many are left questioning if these so-called compromises are merely a pathway to increased amnesty.
Notably, the recent statistics reported by the New York Post highlight a staggering decline in illegal crossings, attributing this drop to the tough policies implemented during the Trump administration. Border Patrol agents reported a remarkable 93% decrease in apprehensions compared to the previous May, a clear indicator that strong enforcement methods yield results.
Despite this evidence, Lankford insists that his approach would have closed critical loopholes in current asylum laws—a claim many conservatives view as a distraction from the failures of today’s administration to protect American borders. His insistence on collaborating with Democrat leadership raises eyebrows among his base, who expect unwavering commitments to conservative immigration reform.
As the GOP looks to regain its footing, particularly in light of recent legislative triumphs, the party must remain vigilant against RINO tendencies that stray from the core principles of border enforcement and national security.
It prompts a critical question: will other conservative leaders hold Lankford accountable, or will they allow this trend of compromise to gain traction at the cost of American sovereignty? The stakes couldn't be higher as we move forward in this critical election cycle.
