🤖 Conclusion [10/100]: The statement 'Of course Lankford wants illegal immigrants to stay here' is almost entirely false. The referenced sources show no support for this claim. In fact, Lankford has a record of criticizing the Biden administration's border policies and advocates for increased border security. While he acknowledges many migrants come for economic opportunity, he has not indicated he wants illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. All available sources refute the claim, so its truthfulness is very low.
