Sen. Lankford pushes back on fellow Republicans' criticism, says border bill 'flips script' on Biden policies
Fox News
Lead GOP Senate negotiator James Lankford pushed back amid mounting concerns from fellow Republicans that the legislation doesn't go far enough to curb illegal immigration.
But Lankford urged critics to read the bill, arguing it will create a "faster and stronger system" of deportation and will "flip the script" on Biden's immigration policy. Christopher Lopez is a digital production assistant for Fox News Digital. He joined Fox News in 2021.
"Are we, as Republicans, going to have press conferences and complain the border is bad and then intentionally leave it open after the worst month in American history in December?" Lankford questioned during "Fox & Friends" on Monday. "Now we've got to actually determine, are we going to just complain about things or are we going to actually address and change as many things as we can?"
