Republican Sen. James Lankford is the "bipartisan" part of the Senate's border security compromise, which is really $60 billion in aid to Ukraine with $20 for border security tacked on. He's been online defending his bill against the lies that are propagating on social media:

Then what is this part of the bill Ryan James Girdusky highlighted?

(B) MANDATORY ACTIVATION — The Secretary shall activate the border emergency authority if —

"(i) during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day, or

"(ii) on any 1 calendar day, a combined total of 8,500 or more aliens are encountered.

That's funny. In December, we had 320,000 encounters. Only 8,500 a day is a good day.

He'd agree to 4,999 encounters a day over a full week without activating the border emergency authority.

Encounters, not admissions. That's the language he's using to call the 5,000 absurd. Except we all know the current DHS Secretary would allow them all in.
