Wake up and think for yourself. The facts are right in front of you. Lankford is one of the most conservative republicans in the senate. I applaud him for speaking out, regardless of Trump’s order to stall this bill so that he has something to run on as opposed to approving what will help our country. It’s all about him. He could care less about you or any of his other cult followers. Meanwhile, Biden passes bills that help both Dems and Republicans, as long as it’s in our nation’s best interest.

    Article 2, section 3 of our Constitution states, the president of the United States shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Our Constitution does not give our president a choice in this matter. He must insure our laws are faithfully executed, which brings me to immigration laws. Biden's refusal to enforce our immigration laws as written, is an impeachable offense so dire, that it can be used to not only remove him from the presidency, but also charge him for felony dereliction of duty and make him liable for the hundreds of thousands of crimes being committed against the American people due to his adamant refusal to act in accordance to said article and section of our Constitution. Over 90% of House and Senate democrats are also guilty of this crime.
