James Lankford Urges President Biden to Prioritize Border Security<\/h2>\n<p>During \u2064an appearance on State of\u200d the \u2063Union Sunday, Sen.\u2064 James Lankford (R-OK) expressed his desire for President Joe Biden to prioritize border security,\u2063 drawing a comparison to the approach taken by former President Obama.\u200d Lankford&#8217;s stance on \u200bborder negotiations with Democrats had drawn criticism from\u2064 fellow \u200cRepublicans, but he maintained that his efforts were misrepresented, leading to the failure of\u2062 the resulting bill.<\/p>\n<p>In his State of the\u2063 Union speech, President Biden mentioned the failed bill but did not indicate any intention to reinstate the executive\u200d orders implemented\u200d by former President Donald Trump regarding border policies. These included measures such as Title 42, which limited immigration during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the &#8220;Remain in Mexico&#8221; policy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It was actually protected, President Biden could do \u200c&#8217;remain in Mexico&#8217; right now. In fact, a court has ordered him to leave \u200cthat \u2063process in\u200d place. So that process\u2063 is in place,&#8221; Lankford emphasized. &#8220;Again, that&#8217;s \u2062one\u2062 of the executive actions that President Biden chooses not to be able to enforce. There are a\u2064 lot of things he could do.\u2062 As\u2062 I&#8217;ve reminded the president and his team, \u200cPresident Obama enforced \u200bthe border much better than President Biden did with the exact same set of laws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last month\u200b alone, a staggering 242,587 immigrants \u200dattempted to enter the United States, adding to the \u2063reported 10 million\u200d immigrants who have \u200dentered the country illegally since Biden assumed office. This \u200cmarks the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/spain-saw-highest-suicide-numbers-ever-recorded-in-year-of-covid-lockdown\/\" title=\"Spain Saw Highest Suicide Numbers Ever Recorded in Year of Covid Lockdown\">highest number recorded<\/a> \u2064within this \u200btimeframe under \u2062any administration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If President Biden doesn&#8217;t want to enforce it the\u2062 way President Trump \u2063did, at least enforce it like President Obama did,&#8221; Lankford continued. &#8220;If President \u2063Biden would just enforce it the same way that President Obama \u200cor President Trump did, this would be a very different \u2064border and a very\u2063 different situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to\u2064 Lankford, the prospects \u200bof passing a replacement border security bill this year seem bleak.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why is Sen.\u200b James Lankford emphasizing the need for immediate \u200baction to address the influx of migrants?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ama. With the surge of migrants at the southern border, Lankford highlighted the need for immediate\u200c action \u2063to address this critical issue.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. James Lankford&#8217;s call for President \u200bBiden to prioritize border security underscores the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-to-give-classified-ai-briefing-to-senators\/\" title=\"Senators to receive classified AI briefing from White House.\">growing concerns surrounding<\/a> the current\u200c situation at the southern border. During his appearance \u2063on State of the Union Sunday, Lankford, a Republican senator from Oklahoma,\u200d stressed the \u200cneed for swift action to effectively deal with the influx of migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing a\u2063 parallel to former President Obama&#8217;s approach, Lankford emphasized the importance of \u200da comprehensive plan that encompasses not only border security but also addresses the root causes of migration. \u2064He urged President Biden to prioritize this issue as \u2063it directly impacts the\u2063 safety and well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The surge of migrants at the southern\u200c border has reached alarming levels in recent months. This influx has\u200b strained the \u200cresources of border patrol agents \u2062and \u200coverwhelmed detention facilities, creating a\u200c humanitarian crisis that demands immediate attention.<\/p>\n<p>Lankford rightly pointed out that this issue goes beyond just border security. While strengthening the border is crucial in \u2062curbing illegal immigration, tackling the underlying causes of\u200d migration is equally important.\u2063 By addressing the root causes, such as poverty, violence, and economic instability in the migrants&#8217; home countries, we can help alleviate the pressures driving people to leave their homes in search of a better life.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200d Lankford stressed\u200c the need for cooperation \u2063between the United States and its neighboring countries. He advocated for engaging in dialogue and collaboration to develop strategies that effectively combat \u2063smuggling, human trafficking, and drug cartels operating along the border.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dSenator&#8217;s call for President Biden to prioritize border security is not an attempt to undermine \u200cthe importance of immigration or humanitarian efforts. Rather, it is a \u2063plea for a balanced approach that considers the\u200b well-being \u200cof both American citizens \u200band the individuals seeking a better life.<\/p>\n<p>As a nation,\u200d we have a responsibility to secure our borders and ensure the safety of our citizens. However, we must also uphold our\u200c values of \u2064compassion and empathy towards\u200c those in need. Striking this delicate balance is essential in addressing \u200dthe current challenges at the southern border and \u2064creating\u2063 a sustainable and humane\u200b immigration system.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden must heed \u2062Sen. James Lankford&#8217;s call and take immediate action to prioritize border security. This includes implementing effective \u2064enforcement measures, enhancing\u200d cooperation with neighboring countries, and addressing the \u200droot causes of migration. By doing so, the Biden administration\u2063 can work towards achieving a \u200dcomprehensive and well-rounded approach that safeguards \u200dnational \u200bsecurity \u2064while upholding our moral obligations.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Sen. James Lankford&#8217;s plea for President Biden to prioritize \u200cborder security is a timely reminder of the critical situation at the southern border. It is imperative that swift action is taken to address the \u200dsurge of\u2062 migrants and to ensure the safety of \u200bAmerican citizens. By\u2064 adopting a comprehensive \u2062approach that \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jd-vance-backs-bernie-moreno-for-ohio-senate-to-avert-bloody-primary-fight\/\" title=\"Vance supports Moreno for Ohio Senate to avoid a primary battle.\">includes border security<\/a>, collaboration with neighboring countries, and tackling root causes, we can strive to find a lasting solution to this \u2063complex issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
