Attorney General Jeff Sessions joined syndicated Boston radio host Howie Carr on his broadcast Thursday, laying out the new path his Department of Justice is charting in the Trump era. New measures to crack down at the border were of particular focus in light of Sessions’s sweeping announcements in Nogales, Arizona Tuesday. Talk also turned to Sessions’ efforts to rebuild a Justice Department still largely staffed with holdover Obama-era appointees and career civil service employees, most of whom worked under the previous administration. Sessions’ continued crusade against so-called “sanctuary cities” made up the final portion of their conversation.
“I’ve been excited about progress at the border … March was the lowest level of illegal entrants to the country in 17 years. It was 72% below the last month of the Obama Administration,” Sessions relayed to Carr. Building on his statements on Fox News’s Hannity, he added:
I thought if we had clear leadership by the President, by our officers, and tell people please don’t come illegally, if you want to come to America wait your turn. If we do that we’d see a decline, and so far it’s exceeded my expectation.
Carr expressed his disbelief at the controversy that has arisen over Sessions’ directives. “You’re enforcing the law! There’s nothing new here. You’re just taking the federal criminal code and enforcing it,” he said.
Sessions was equally incredulous:
It is just beyond my comprehension how we drifted so far away from the common sense notion that sovereign nations have borders and those borders should be honored … Any country that has common sense, and almost all do, has laws that if you commit a crime while you’re in the country, lawfully or unlawfully, you are to be deported.

Sessions has completed much of his review of the DOJ. All the Grasshoppers were so impatient as usual. He’s coming out now.
If there is anyone we needwd more than DJT it’s Jeff Sessions. I admire him so much,and there are few I admire.
We are blessed
Trump could allow citizens to target practice on invaders as they cross the border.
Go, Trump!
Go, Sessions!
Yes Mr Sessions,
but WWJD, What Would Jared Do?
DACA must be ended.
Continuing to hand out work permits to illegal aliens under this illegal program undercuts all the other efforts.
Sessions is Trump’s best appointment by far.
I love Howie Carr and i love Jeff Sessions.
Hopefully i can find a copy of this interview tomorrow.
I was listening too.. can’t wait til he gets his own people in there.. he’s going to rumble.
At last someone we can believe and trust — what a breath of fresh air !!!
#winning everywhere. Moab, jobs, justice, illegals....
Trump has the power to seal the border today. Just declare the US to be under invasion and deploy the Army to repel invaders.
