Okay, so the minors in question are, at least in part, convicted felons?

It appears so.
Now you do realize that even illegal immigrants convicted of a crime receive legal services, right? And if they can’t afford an attorney one will be appointed to them free of charge?
1. Then we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm not buying that for one second.
2. Yes, all criminal proceedings allow for representation. However, most deportation proceedings are civil rather than criminal cases; the right to legal counsel often doesn’t apply.
Yes, we all are. I’ve never met anyone who would disagree with that.
Then I don’t know why we are having this discussion or why anyone is calling doing just that insane.
Uh….because we interpreted the legislation differently. That’s the only point of contention that I’ve seen thus far. You think it only applies to minors and I do not. That’s…..pretty much it. 🤷â€Â♂ï¸Â
The Oklahoma republican party censured Senator Lankford because he tried to get a border deal done.
Republicans are not serious about fixing any of the problems at the border.
Published March 10, 2024
Amid the ongoing immigration crisis, Oklahoma County Republicans on Saturday censured U.S. Sen. James Lankford for his work in crafting a bipartisan deal to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
The overwhelming vote to censure the senior Republican senator came at a party convention in Oklahoma City attended by an estimated 225 members of the GOP.
The censure came a month after the border package died on the Senate floor.
Why did Lankford take up the bipartisan border bill?
House Republicans tapped Lankford to negotiate the bipartisan border deal.
Lankford and his fellow negotiators spent months on the package as the southern border buckled with immigrants.
...
Some members of the Oklahoma Republican Party met in January to censure Lankford over what they called his "open border deal." The state party's chair, Nathan Dahm, later said the meeting was illegal and the censure was not an official position of the Oklahoma GOP.
Oklahoma County GOP Chair Ken Warner told The Oklahoman that Saturday’s censure vote against Lankford was because of details in the border bill.
...
Lankford has complained the deal has been misunderstood.
"It would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5,000 people a day. This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day," he told Fox News in January. "This is not about letting 5,000 people in a day. ... This is set up for, if you have a rush of people coming at the border, the border closes down. No one gets in."
After the deal died, Lankford said from the Senate floor:
"What's been told has been false, day after day. I've had a few folks that have said, 'If I can't get everything, I want nothing.' I don't find most Americans are that way in their day-to-day life. Americans are ticked off that this is not resolved, and they expect us to get things done. So why don't we do that?"

The only takeaway I have from this: there are at least 14 vulnerable seats in November.
If I understand it correctly, the house has already passed HR 2, Secure The Border Act. Isn't this the one negotiated by Sen Lankford (R) and now trashed by trump and his sycophants? If so, why cant senate majority leader Schumer (D) get it through the US Senate? It may not be perfect but its vastly better than the situation we have now.

Supreme Court allows Texas to begin enforcing controversial immigration law
In a brief order Tuesday night, a three-judge panel at the 5th Circuit voted 2-1 to wipe away a previous ruling from a different panel that had temporarily put the law into effect. So a day of shifting legal fortunes ended with the Texas law still not implemented.
