Jeff Sessions: House Border Bill Is a ‘Surrender To a Lawless President’
NRO ^ | 7/29/2014 | By Joel Gehrke

Posted on 07/29/2014 3:28:09 PM PDT by Mariner

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) denounced the House Republican border bill as a “surrender to a lawless president” because the legislation does not include any language to prevent President Obama from expanding his unilateral legalization of illegal immigrants.

Here’s the statement:

The Obama Administration has openly declared its plan to implement a unilateral executive amnesty for 5–6 million more illegal immigrants. This unlawful amnesty—urged on by congressional Democrats—would include work permits, taking jobs directly from millions of struggling American citizens.

Any action Congress might consider to address the current border crisis would be futile should the President go forward with these lawless actions. Congress must speak out and fight against them. It must use its spending power to stop the President’s executive amnesty.

That the House leaders’ border package includes no language on executive actions is surrender to a lawless President. And it is a submission to the subordination of congressional power.

Both parties are committed to taking us down the same road in the end anyway....on this issue, all they are arguing about is how much money to spend that this nation doesn’t have.

What a meaningless debate this is.

I’m 57 years old. I have NEVER seen GOP leadership as gutless as this bunch, all in the name of
power. They are as bad, if not worse than the French Surrender Monkeys.

I watched Sessions on CSpan yesterday. Very impressive, at least his logic was. Someone needs to hire him a media consultant to add a tad of sparkle to his personality.

Some people may not be aware of Sessions’ history. Originally, he was appointed to be a low level federal judge, but the Senate Judicial Committee voted his appointment down.

So the good people of Alabama elected him to the Senate...where he was placed on that same Senate Judiciary Committee...where he has given the libs Hell!

Is there anywhere to go? This world is going to go to hell. It already is. Americans have the power to stop it. But we aren’t going to. Our wealth and decadence has made us lazy. Not willing to get out there and sacrifice everything for the ideals this country was founded on. The great men and women in America have come and gone. It’s over. The founders are spinning in their graves, we no longer deserve it. America is going to turn into a 3rd world cesspool, and the whole world with it. Our ancestors would be ashamed. Had to happen sometime didn’t it? Just like Babylon, everyone understands everyone and can’t get along. This time it’s the entire world.

OK I will call Jerrod Polis and Mark Udall and Mike Bennett. That is gonna help. Not. I am stuck with this democrat trash because of all the northeast and rust belt democrats polluting my once sleepy little cow town. Denver metro tripled in size as failed northeast states sent their progressives scurrying to pastures they had not destroyed yet.

Voting won't fix this mess. Calling congresscritters won't fix this.

Comments on the C-span hearing rebroadcast of yesterday's House hearing on border immigration.

Obama appointee, UCIS head, Leon Gonzales was interviewed. Totally biased---said his second language was Spanish----and that he once belonged to Casa Manana (or something), that was advocating for unlimited immigration.

The lock-stepping Gonzalez gets grade A for Evasion and for loyally following orders from the Commandant in the WH.

When Democrats questioned him, he knew everything and responded in great detail. But to Republicans he whined about being new to the jobs---and parroted "gotta get back to you on that."

========================================

Repub Cong/men Jason Chaffetz, Louis Gohmert and Randy Forbes were standout patriots, protecting Americans from the invading hordes at the border.

Cong Gohmert stopped the show with his probing judicial-like queries---the former judge's brilliant circumlocution, and his prodigious knowledge of the law was awesome---as well as his ability to nail Gonzalez to the wall.

WRT drug cartels paid $6000 to "guide" the hordes over the birder---"Would you call them criminals?," he asked Gonzales. Making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they pay the violent breed to get over the border?

Gonzales made a show of his legal bgrnd---but he paled agaimst Goehmert's expertise. Gonzales, as a former prosecutor and officer of the court, should know that the US justice system is not amenable to dispensing justice to litigants w/ "unclean hands"---a legal term meaning those who have committed crimes. His license to practice law should be pulled.

Sad to see Cong Jason Chaffetz's resignation, knowing we'd get nowhere with the lock-stepping Gonsalez----prostrate in obeisance to Obama---his lips pressed firmly to the WH behind.

=================================================

Cong Guttierez (Dim-Ill) made a lamebrain appearance--- this imbecile had to have used voter fraud to get into office---no one in their right mind would vote for the Spanglish-speaking moron.

We need to find out (1) how many identities he's using, (2) how many govt checks he, his family, and his staff are cashing, and, (3) Guttierez's membership in violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again. I can think of no better way of suppressing GOP turn out then by passing a border bill that the administration would sign. Way to go GOP losers!

Laura Ingram said it best. ANYTHING that comes from the house will be amended into full blown amnesty. Boehner will appoint pro-amnesty rinos to the conference committee and it will just be amnesty.

I’m tyring to figure out who’s better at surrendering, the French or the GOP.

Hmm, probably have to go with the cowardly GOP. They’ve got polpular opinion against illegals, and they’ve got an unpopular president, but SOMEHOW they can’t figure a way to do ANYTHING about it.
