Senator Jeff Sessions: On Immigration, It’s Time to Defend Americans
National Review ^ | July 3, 2014 | Sen. Jeff Sessions

Posted on 07/04/2014 11:01:46 AM PDT by lilyramone

The chaos unfolding at the border demonstrates the catastrophic, real-world consequences of the president’s lawless conduct. For the last five years, with average household incomes falling and Americans being pushed out of the workforce, the president has been engaged in a sustained campaign to strip away Americans’ immigration protections. He has accomplished his aims: Interior removals have been cut by more than 40 percent. President Obama’s own former ICE director reported to the Los Angeles Times that “if you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero.”

Pro-amnesty people argue that we cannot deport 11+ million illegals. It would be impossible to do so. Maybe, maybe not.

So why not begin by thinking small and about a program that vigorously goes after illegals one state at a time: Why not begin by deporting illegals from Texas? And then move on to Arizona and California?

Surely there are not 11 million illegals in Texas. I hope not?

Once we reduce the illegals in Texas, then we could move on to North Carolina and then to Georgia.

I'm not joking. Let's take it one state at a time.

Once the pressure is put on the illegals in Texas, they will probably rush to another state, but at least those illegals thinking of entering the country through Texas and staying there will be discouraged to do so.

Yes, let's think small by first vigorously going after illegals in Texas and California.

That's one way to do it.

Recognize also that if illegals are denied access to public welfare and to jobs -- via E-Verify -- they will self-deport. Where existing employment laws have been enforced, illegals have self-deported -- back to Mexico or to other states -- in large numbers.

Secure the border, enforce existing employment law, deny access to public welfare and start aggressive deportation action state-by-state and, Voila!, problem solved in a matter of a few years.

It won't be 100% effective, of course, but in a few years we can look at the remnant left and make a determination as to how to address it.

Illegals are a cash cow in my neck of the woods for local governments. Each week you look at the local paper and see illegals stopped for a minor traffic violation and are then found to have no license, no insurance, and most likely no title to the car they are driving. Then you see the fines usually 1k and up.

Local cops bringing in the cash just look for short people driving ratty old cars. They ignore the drug dealers driving MB’s and Hummers. Free enterprise at work, at least a kind of bastardized version.

Deja vu all over again. Sessions was about the only outspoken senator when Bush was pushing for comprehensive immigration reform in April 2006 or thereabout.

>>Obama wants a borderless America.<<

It’s not just Obozo. There truly is an enemy within.

The communist have been working to transform America for decades. Finally their plan is coming to fruition.

Take a look at the 45 declared goals of the communist takeover of the U.S.

Most of what you listed are felonies. The misdemeanors such as, “entering the country illegally” and “hiring an illegal” are misdemeanors until that person has been deported and returns or 2nd offense. It is then a felony.

Fraud, perjury, forgery, conspiracy would put any American in prison. Why is it that illegal aliens get away with these? Illegals routinely lie on government applications, there is literally no way to function in our society undocumented without breaking the law multiple times.

FBI stats are skewed so that Americans are kept in the dark about the true crime rate caused by illegals. Insurance rates for automobiles are higher because illegals typically hit and run, drive w/o insurance.

Federal, state and local taxes are higher for Americans to help cover those here illegally. Here in Harris co. Texas, the hospital district wrote off 385 million in one year for the expense of those who visit the ER and skip on the bill.
Don't believe it? Visit an inner city hospital in the dead of night on Houston's east, south side. Packed full of illegals.
Portions of Houston are unrecognizable as America. Airline drive looks like some border town in Messy-co. It's ridiculous. I've often thought of putting together a pictorial montage of some of those fine neighborhoods in Houston....Talk about politically incorrect. lol

How come the law only protects those who break it?

He should be down on the border now helping out

It would help motivate and inspire if a senator were standing with the crowds

Obama keeps saying that the USA is "a nation of immigrants" which is 100% correct and 99% irrelevant, because by phrasing it like this what he is trying to mask is that the USA is "not a nation of open borders."

In fact, no nation can survive and be a nation / country for long, without enforcing borders. What is "broken" now is not an immigration "system" but rather the enforcement of border security and control and strong enforcement of the existing immigration laws and policies.

The calls for "comprehensive immigration reform" — which will do nothing to remedy the situation, except more broken promises and more money for the inaction of the broken and corrupt government agencies and departments which are supposed to administer these laws — are nothing but a smoke screen for the deliberate lack of enforcement of existing laws, designed to create a "crisis" so that any "comprehensive reform" looks like a solution, when in reality actually contributing to the real crises that will inevitably follow.

"Comprehensive Immigration Reform," if any, should only ever reinforce that "no citizenship or voting rights for anyone who ever entered the country illegally; no federal, state, county or 'sanctuary' municipality financial or educational assistance, and no birthright citizenship for children of persons who are in the country illegally.".

Now, that should be "comprensible" enough?

AND it is also a felony (or at least it used to be) to assist anyone in this country illegally to get a job...

I think that is very likely the real (though publicly unspoken) reason for many in the productive / investing-in-America class pressing Republican leadership for amnesty - they don't like to be selectively raided by ICE/INS any more than they like to be selectively audited by IRS or selectively subjected to the nuisance or harassment lawsuits.

Doesn't mean they should be accommodated by the amnesty, but that is the real impetus behind the push than having "cheap workforce" because after "undocumented worker" becomes legal and "documented" he stops being really "cheap."
