    On this episode of the Breakdown with Senator James Lankford, Senator Lankford is joined by former Acting United States Secretary of Homeland Security and expert on border security Chad Wolf. Lankford introduced a bill to delay ending Title 42 in an effort to secure our border, warning that the US could see an additional 1 million illegal border crossers in 6 weeks if Biden rescinds Title 42. He has repeatedly condemned the Biden Administration’s push for a wide open border and has called out their lack of a plan to secure it. Lankford successfully blocked Biden’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office from opening a “surge overflow facility” at the Great Plains Correctional Institution in Hinton, Oklahoma and visited the southern border after record high border crossings in 2021.
