• MEDIA: Senate border deal would allow 5,000 illegal immigrants a day

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 23 12:41:55 2024
    Washington Times' Ramsey Touchberry and Stephen Dinan on whether
    Donald Trump regrets endorsing Jim Lankford more or less than Okies
    regret voting for him: <URL:https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jan/13/senate-border-deal-would-allow-5000-illegal-immigr/>
    | Senators afterward confirmed to The Times that the deal is homing in
    | on the 5,000 threshold for illegal immigrants allowed each day.
    | Republican senators told The Times that immediately issuing work
    | permits to the catch-and-release population would be a nonstarter.
    |
    | Mr. Lankford also briefed members of the House Republican Study
    | Committee, a group of conservatives. A spokeswoman for Chairman
    | Kevin Hern, Oklahoma Republican, didn't respond to an inquiry for
    | this report.

    "Under Trump, arrests and deportations of people illegally present
    in the American interior collapsed, an amnesty was on the table,
    legal immigration continued more or less apace, and the wall wasn't
    built. Trump also granted leniency to maritime drug smugglers. 29/"
