OK GOP Condemns & Censures Sen. James Lankford For Collaborating with Dems on ‘Open Border Deal’

The Oklahoma GOP has just passed a resolution condemning and censuring state Senator James Lankford over working together with Chuck Schumer and Democrats on a so-called ‘open border deal.’

The deal would allow 5,000 illegal immigrants to enter and work in the USA, per day.

Until Sen. Lankford ceases his involvement with the Democrats’ border deal, the Oklahoma GOP has resolved to “cease all support for him.”

Take a look at the resolution that hit X:

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported on the details of the Dems’ ‘immigration reform’ deal:

BREAKING: Senate border deal details, per source familiar I just had a call with.

– Mandatory detention of all single adults.

– Mandatory “shut down” of border once average daily migrant encounters hits 5,000. Importantly, this 5,000 number includes 1,400 CBP One app…

The bipartisan border security deal would also give Biden new emergency powers to shut down the border.

Biden’s statement about this bipartisan border negotiation:

“It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.” https://t.co/dz2u4vWt2m

The border deal, which Biden is allegedly ready to sign, as is, has been highly criticized by House Republicans.

As The Gateway Pundit commented:

Earlier this month, Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) expressed strong opposition to the Senate Amnesty Bill on his social media account, describing it as a “nightmare.”

He criticized the bill for granting legal status to illegal aliens who have exploited the system and violated the law.

“The Senate Amnesty Bill is a nightmare. It gives legal status to illegal aliens who have gamed our system and broken our laws. It rolls out the red carpet for 5,000 illegals EVERY DAY, forever. It’s hard enough to stop the far-left’s state-sponsored invasion of our Southern Border, and it’s even harder when you’re pulling Senator Langford’s daggers out of your back. I oppose the Senate Amnesty Deal and will work to see its defeat,” Gaetz wrote.

Similarly, Representative Dan Bishop (R-NC) voiced his disbelief and concern on social media.

“How could this even be imagined?! 5,000 a day is 150,000/mo. The unprecedented threshold breached in January 2021 after the post-election ramp-up. Lankford proposes to institutionalize the crisis-level flow? As a “border security” proposal?”

What do you think?

Did the OK GOP’s censure of Sen. Lankford go far enough?

This is @jameslankford he's the RINO pushing for an "open borders" deal with Chuck Schumer and the Democrats.

Would be a shame if you called his office and expressed your opinions about that. pic.twitter.com/yGiqzqZQHS
