The Truth Behind the Border Shutdown Provision

Senator Lankford is spotlighting misconceptions around a recent border control agreement. He points out a critical aspect often missed in discussions: should illegal border crossings exceed 5,000 in a single day, the border will only be closed for the remainder of that day. With daily crossings currently between 10,000 to 15,000, this clause could frequently trigger temporary shutdowns. This measure, according to Lankford, could serve as a meaningful deterrent, though it begs further questions about the strategy for managing illegal entries amidst ongoing negotiations. #BorderControl #Lankford #PolicyDebate
