Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a leading immigration policy critic, said Wednesday that amendments planned for upcoming legislation could put more than 4 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
That is about one-third of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants who would have benefited from the comprehensive immigration overhaul bill (S 1639) he helped kill earlier this year, Sessions said.
Sessions warned colleagues in a letter that legislation (S 774) labeled the DREAM Act that would allow states to provide college benefits to illegal immigrants could be offered as an amendment to the fiscal 2008 Defense appropriations bill (HR 3222) later this month. The measure could benefit 1.3 million illegal immigrants.
More alarming to Sessions was that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., plans to offer an amendment to the five-year farm bill that could come to the floor in October that could legalize 1.5 million farm workers. The Congressional Budget Office estimated they would bring another 1.8 million relatives into the country with them.
“To people who voted against the comprehensive package, they really should not vote for this,” Sessions said. “It’s one third of the total number and has less demands on the people who are here illegally.”
The reason for Sessions’ alarm was a July 25 colloquy in which Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., assured Feinstein of a vote on the so-called AgJobs measure, which she introduced earlier this year as a freestanding bill (S 340). “I will do everything I can to make sure it is part of the farm bill,” Reid said.
Sessions said Feinstein is negotiating a potential compromise with the ranking Republican on the Agriculture Committee, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.
“It could blow up on the floor and cause a big fuss,” Sessions said. “We need to focus on the legitimate labor needs of the United States. But our focus should not be on how to serve people who are in the country illegally.”

Jeff Session bttt!
Yep, he’s weighing in! Thanks!!
Must have been my phone call :^)
Anyone who spews hate and discontent about OUR country, who marches in mobs, holds up hate signs, and publicly proclaims they will violate US law, shall be penalized (and shall be excluded from holding US citizenship).
It's time to penalize anyone on American soil who (a) conspires to undermine the US government, and (b) commits hate crimes against America and Americans.
===================================================
ACTION NOW Congress must initiate federal legislation that would impose severe penalties for foreigners undermining the US government and committing hate crimes against Americans (crimes like stealing our identities, cloning our cell phones, fraudulently registering/voting, and looting the tax assets of Americans).
(a) Hate Crimes---(b) Undermining the US government
1 - Invaders' using illegal ID or documents
2 - Invaders' Federal income tax evasion
3 - Re-entry into USA after deportation
4 - Obtain/Operate vehicles with illegal ID
5 - ID theft/fraud - Social Security fraud
6 - Knowingly gaining employment fraudulently
7 - Recruiting other illegal aliens workers
8 - Transporting illegal aliens across the border
9 - Harboring &/or housing illegal aliens on American soil
10 - Endangering Americans by undermining US national security
11 - Registering/Voting using fraudulent documentation
12 - Conspiracy to violate federal statutes
13 - Uttering false statements to public officials
14 - Obstructing law enforcement
15 - Sham marriages to avoid deportation
=====================
Emphasize to lawmakers that Americans are demanding:
Federal grounds for expulsion from US soil
Federal grounds for denying citizenship
Provisional federal citizenship laws
Severe penalties for committing Hate Crimes Against Americans
Severe penalties for conspiring against, and undermining, the US government.
Denying federal funds to sanctuary-cities.
Abolishing anchor-baby ruling.
STRICT ENFORCEMENT of all EXISTING laws WRT illegals.
Thanks, bfl
Don’t let me forget!
I don’t understand why it’s the AMERICAN taxpayers’ job to finance the education of MEXICAN citizens. It just don’t make sense. I guess that’s why I’m not a politician.
;) Probably was! I try, but I am really bad at the phone calls.
Thanks for the ping...
..grinding my teeth mad..
and this too...
I called Feinstein and Boxer’s office. The guy in Boxer’s office said they are getting lots of calls about this today.
Keep pounding them!
Anything in this Bill granting benefit to farmworkers shall not apply to those not legally in this country. (PERIOD)
Jeff Sessions is outstanding.
Jeff Sessions bump.
