A U.S. Senate border bill proposed by Democrats and Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, was negotiated with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, according to multiple reports, as House Republicans held over a dozen hearings into his conduct and eventually impeached him.
President Joe Biden has called on the Republican House to pass what he calls the “bipartisan” Senate border bill, which Lankford and others claim would limit illegal entry to 5,000 foreign nationals a day. The claim is false according to the bill language, former Border Patrol chiefs and others argue.
