Senator James Lankford,along with Senator Sinema (Arizona) and Senator Chris Murphy (South Carolina), negotiated a bipartisan border security bill at the end of last year and early 2024, that would have strengthened our border with Mexico, added border patrol agents and immigration judges, and seemingly was everything the Republican party had been requesting. President Biden, despite the bill not offering a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, was prepared to sign the bill into law. Mitch McConnell supported the bill. Everything seemed to be moving towards a strong immigration bill that would fix the problem with the Southern border. However, former President Trump actively whipped against the bill and convinced members of the Republican party to vote against it. In this this interview, Senator James Lankford explains what happened to this bill, what was in it, and how the situation unfolded.
