Sen. Lankford Defends Border Bill Against Musk's Criticism, Highlights Legal Voting Requirements

Amid a heated exchange, Sen. James Lankford refutes Elon Musk's claims about the border bill's intentions, emphasizing the illegality of non-citizen voting.

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., counters Elon Musk's criticism of the Senate border security bill, asserting it does not aim to enable illegal immigrants to vote.
Musk, citing concerns over the bill's long-term goals, suggests it could lead to non-citizens voting, a claim Lankford describes as 'absurd'.
The border bill, part of a $118 billion package, seeks to overhaul border enforcement, raising standards for asylum screenings and closing loopholes.
Lankford suggests Musk focus on the 2.2 million Tesla vehicles recalled due to a software issue, rather than the border bill.
Despite bipartisan efforts, the bill faces opposition from conservatives and is deemed 'dead on arrival' by House GOP leadership.
