Sessions: Obama’s Executive Amnesty ‘an Offense to the Very Idea of Citizenship’

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) dubbed President Obama’s executive orders on immigration “an offense to the very idea of citizenship” following a top House Republican’s discovery that the deferred action program contains a “sneaky” pathway to citizenship.

“Perhaps this newest scandal will finally provide our Senate Democrat colleagues with reason enough to end their filibuster and allow debate on the House funding bill to proceed,” Sessions said in a statement to National Review Online. “Maintaining and enforcing borders, and the rules of exit and departure, are not partisan fodder but the pillars of sovereignty; at its most basic level, the question for the nation is whether we wish to remain one.”

House Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) announced Friday that U.S. Customs and Immigration Services staff had admitted that illegal immigrants who enroll in the deferred action program can also apply for advance parole.

“As you know, when an individual receives advance parole, upon return to the United States the individual can then be eligible to adjust to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status,” Goodlatte wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. “And as you know, lawful permanent resident status is the precursor to U.S. citizenship. A simple search of the Internet reveals that immigration reform advocacy groups and immigration benefits law practices are fully aware of the path to citizenship that is afforded to DACA recipients through advance parole.”

Obama is an offense to the founding principles of this country.

Sessions, one guy who gets it and whom seems to be a voice in the wilderness.

He is right, once Citizenship is undermined, what is the purpose of a nation?

Rush pointed out the danger in the “Amnesty” a long while back. Even he didn’t see it happening this swiftly though. Quidado’ Amerika!

Rush has been warning about amnesty. My question is, why does he keep touting Walker? Walker wants amnesty too.

” Rush pointed out the danger in the “Amnesty” a long while back. Even he didn’t see it happening this swiftly though.”

Then Rush isn’t as sharp as he used to be. Many FReepers saw it, and ALL of the ramifications as well.

Obama threw a hissy fit after the 2014 election wipe out of democrats. He said never again and got going on his amnesty lickity split so all the new illegal legals could vote in 2016. He’s a petulant brat and the Republicans lie down and let him walk all over them.

I am posting this message to anyone. I wonder if United States citizenship is becoming like Roman citizenship. I believe illegals have been voting for many years. The scenario would be that illegals are brought to the polls and they are given cigarettes or beer or whatever it takes. Then the illegal is told to check the first or second box on the voter form and then when the illegal comes back from the voting booth they receive the beer or cigarettes. It is a very bad time for the republic. Now the illegals become citizens they will probably get beer or cigarettes to vote.

The GOP leadership in Congress, and many of its camp followers in that august body, are utter jellyfish, with not a single vertebra among them.
