Oklahoma Republican Party Criticizes GOP Senator for Negotiating Border Deal

The Republican senator who led efforts to negotiate with the Biden administration on a border deal has been condemned and censured by his own state’s party. Just for speaking with Democrats. This is despite the fact that the chamber has yet to vote on the measure.

Just one day later, a defiant Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) appeared on Fox News to defend his work in Congress. One that many of his colleagues supported until former President Donald Trump came out against the measure. 

The Oklahoma Republican Party approved the resolution condemning Lankford for the offense of collaborating with Democrat Chuck Schumer on an open border deal.

The deal allows 5,000 illegal immigrants a day to enter and work in the United States. It is a direct contradiction of what Lankford himself has characterized as an attempt to prevent illegal crossings. This is amid a worsening migrant crisis.

The bill accused him of “jeopardizing the security and liberty of the people of Oklahoma and of the United States.” It also accused him of breaking his Constitutional oath to protect the country “against Invasion” by immigrants.

When asked by Fox News why he would negotiate a border deal with President Biden during an election year — an action Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream likened to handing Biden a “victory lap”— he instead characterized it as a win for Republicans who have been advocating for changes to U.S. immigration policy for months.

“It is interesting: Republicans, four months ago, would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel. And for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So we actually locked arms together and said: ‘We’re not going to give money for this. We want a change in law,’” Lankford said.

POLL—Should the U.S. Government Create a Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants?

“A few months later, when we’re finally getting to the end. They’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding, I actually don’t want a change in law because of presidential election year.’”

“We all have an oath to the Constitution,” he said. “And we have a commitment to say we’re going to do whatever we can to be able to secure the border.”

The decision to censure Lankford for his ongoing negotiations with Democrats has also attracted condemnation from Republicans in the state. Even former party chairman Anthony Ferate shared his views.

“Today an extreme faction of the @officialOKGOP held a meeting without providing an official call to all members of the State Committee, including me, to attack Senator @jameslankford,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to him, votes the OKGOP took concerning Lankford were not legitimate. He also says it doesn’t represent the voice of all Oklahoma Republicans.
