Positions on record
As recorded in each PolicyBomb's "who supports / who opposes" research. Not counted in the tally.
Policy #1: Southern Border Crossings: Catch-and-Release, Asylum Expansion, and Record Encounters Harmful
For (2024 border deal): Failed cloture 49-50 Feb 7, 2024 after Trump opposition. Senate roll call Feb 7, 2024. senate.gov
Listed in the research as: Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ)
Verdict: The 2021-24 border surge was a policy choice with foreseeable pull effects, not a force of nature. Catch-and-release into multi-year court backlogs, ending MPP, and delayed Title 42 exit timing produced record crossings, city fiscal crises, and documented failures to track released children.
Policy #63: Illegal Immigration Harmful
For: Negotiated 2024 border deal; failed cloture 49-50 (Feb 7, 2024) after Trump opposed it. Senate: Roll call on emergency supplemental/border (Feb 7, 2024) (senate.gov)
Listed in the research as: Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ)
Verdict: Large-scale illegal immigration is bad for society. It rewards smugglers, exploits migrants (children most of all), overwhelms cities and courts, and erodes support for legal immigration, which has clear economic value.
