The last time the Senate voted on Sen. James Lankford’s (R-OK) border bill, only the three most left-leaning members of the Republican conference voted with Lankford: Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT). Every other Republican who voted voted against it. 

Collins, Murkowski, and Romney are not the future of the Republican Party. If Lankford wants to have a future as a leader of the Republican Party, and he does, he needs to get right on immigration. And Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is apparently going to give him that opportunity.
