1:58:26Now PlayingSen. James Lankford, R-Okla., told Fox News Digital he still believes the bipartisan border bill was necessary to secure the border, despite President Donald Trump achieving record-low border encounters through executive action.
In February, U.S. Border Patrol recorded the lowest monthly total of migrant apprehensions on the U.S. southern border in at least 25 years. There were 8,326 southern border encounters in February 2025, down from 189,913 in February 2024.
"Same law, same opportunities. Obviously, very different applications of the law," Lankford said. "We had one day last week, there were less than 200 people [who] even tried to illegally cross the border. You go back to a year and a half ago, that number was 12,000 a day. So dramatic difference in application."
Lankford said the combination of Trump’s rhetoric and policies has led to the stark drop in illegal border crossings. But the Oklahoma senator said Trump wouldn’t need to play so much "catch-up ball" if the bipartisan border bill was passed under President Joe Biden’s administration.
