U.S. Sen. James Lankford will co-sponsor legislation to protect from deportation young people brought to America by undocumented immigrants.

Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, told CNN on Thursday that he has worked for weeks with U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., on a legislative alternative to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an executive order by former President Barack Obama that was rescinded by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Sept. 5.

“These individuals are literally in limbo, people without a country. We have to be able to resolve this,” Lankford said.

The senator declined to give details of the Tillis-Lankford bill. There are about 7,500 DACA beneficiaries in Oklahoma.

    7500 illegals aliens x $8751 (most recent figure of what Oklahoma taxpayers spend per student)
    $65,632,500.00 per year in education

    There are no “dreamers”, only people in the country illegally. I don’t allow the left to control the language.
    These people may be up to age 36. These are not children. 72% are 21 and older.
    Do something for taxpaying Americans senator.
