Schumer-Lankford Border Deal Includes Controversial Plan to Increase Green Cards by 50,000 Annually and Allow 150,000 Illegal Immigrants Monthly
Senator James Lankford (R-OK) has been actively promoting a potential border deal, striving to win over his Republican colleagues in both the Senate and the House.
However, the deal, still not finalized, has sparked considerable disagreement and controversy within GOP ranks.
Lankford, the principal GOP negotiator, intensified his efforts this Wednesday.
According to The Hill, Lankford led a critical meeting of the Senate GOP and also spoke at the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) weekly luncheon. The RSC is known for representing the largest faction of House conservatives, a group that traditionally holds strong views on immigration policies.
The surge in Lankford’s diplomatic efforts is strategically timed, just days before the anticipated release of the bill.
