Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma recently addressed concerns regarding the lack of progress on a conservative-leaning border bill in Congress. Despite efforts to negotiate a bipartisan solution, Republicans in the House rejected the proposed bill, insisting on including provisions such as 'remain in Mexico' that were not feasible in the negotiations.
Senator Lankford expressed disappointment in the inability to move forward with meaningful action on border security this year. He highlighted the 'remain in Mexico' policy, noting that it is currently in place and could be enforced by President Biden, as ordered by a court. However, the administration has chosen not to implement this policy, among others.
