Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) visited southeast Arizona this week to see firsthand how the Biden-Harris administration had reduced illegal border crossings.

Lankford said he had "no doubt" that former President Donald Trump would shut down the CBP One app's immigration functions.

The app allows immigrants from Cuba , Haiti , Nicaragua , and Venezuela to apply to enter the U.S. on parole.

Lankford says the Biden-Harris administration expanded the expedited removal process in late July .

Lankford said a possible Trump-Vance administration should create a non-detained docket for expedited removals.

The 19,000 -employee Border Patrol has lost nearly a quarter of its workforce since President Biden beat Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

"There was also someone that put a sticker on the fence at that spot where there's the gap in the fence. They put a 'No Trump ' sticker on the fence, on the last, on the last slat of the fence.".
