Sessions to Congress: Back Ted Cruz or Remain 'Complicit' in 'Nullification of Border'
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jul 2014 | Matthew Boyle

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee and a key immigration hawk, took to the Senate floor on Monday afternoon to attack the efforts by President Barack Obama to grant amnesty via executive order to millions of illegal aliens.

During his floor speech, Sessions endorsed a bill from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that aims to curb the president’s executive amnesty efforts—and called on his colleagues to cosponsor it. Sessions said:

Senator Cruz has a bill that would stop this presidential overreach. Sessions said. It’s very simple. It lays out that we won’t spend money providing legal documents to people unlawfully in the country as defined by the law of America and as defined by the Congress of the United States. So, I will ask, will you cosponsor Senator Cruz’s bill and let’s defend our constituents, or will our congressional colleagues remain complicit in the nullification of our laws and basically the nullification of border enforcement?

Sessions’ fiery floor speech focused almost entirely on how Congress hasn’t done much—if anything—to fight back against President Obama’s executive overreaches when it comes to immigration law. He opened by citing the letter he hand-delivered to every member of Congress warning about Obama’s move to circumvent Congress and use executive power to grant amnesty to millions of America’s illegal aliens. Sessions also cited George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a liberal Obama supporter, who warned that Congress letting Obama use executive power in the way he has is not good for the country.

Sessions asked his U.S. Senate colleagues:

Does anybody not respect this institution? Do we not respect the House of Representatives, the United States Senate? Have we gotten so partisan that we don’t care what the president does to diminish Congress?

Attaboy, Jeff! That’s what I’m talking about! You’re either on Ted Cruz’s side or you’re on the America-hating Communist left-winger’s side. It’s one or the other, so what’s it gonna be, fellow GOP Senators???

If there are any politicians who frequent this website take notice that a very large number of people are looking into this matter. We are not happy and cannot afford to pay for this invasion. We know our own government is involved and have proof of it now. I know this phrase gets old but it’s Cloward - Piven strategy, pure and simple, to break the back of America. Those who fail to vote secure the border or defund the 3.70 B will not be supported by manynin future elections.

Second THAT! The man has no ambition to be president, or to even draw a crowd, but he can be a firebrand when riled up.

And all Hillary’s got this week is a ‘bimbo eruption’.

She’s got to be running low on opposition ammo.

I wonder, is there video of this man and his very strong and much needed words?

He is so right and I’m so sick of the wimps running this country over the cliff.

Kind of like George Washington...we do have a few good men these days, it is all we need if "we the people" stand with them!

“This indicates clearly that the agencies are not in dire need of supplemental funding from this Congress, certainly not in the degree as asked for,” Sessions said.

DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.

DISMANTLE agencies and DEPOPULATE unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) from the body politic. Pick one…or two…or ten...

Isn’t that the truth. A fearless few leaders could change the course of things, and certainly the morale around the place.

:) I have hoped for Cruz and Jeff to get together. And, Mike Lee. Three great guys. Who else for the merry band there? I can’t even think. Oh, Gomert, for straight up-ness, too.

Where are the FOX News Network’s “Fair and Balanced,” on-the-ground, Live and in Color, News Reports on the horrific, violent events in the Central American Countries that the hordes of Illegal Obama Wetback “Children” are escaping from with only the ‘clothes on their backs?’

Certainly, ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, the human trafficking of “children” across international borders would have been an irresistible magnet for journalists to reveal the facts of such horrific abuse of children especially to the most pity-filled Liberals.

Did I miss this famous “Fair and Balanced” reporting on Gretchen’s “Real Story,” Shep, Neal, “The Five,” Bret, Greta, Billy O’, Pretty-Face Kelly, or Hannity?

Where is the unique “We eport, you decide” documentation by the FOX News Network?

Surely there was an hour-long “Special on the Famous 2014 Central American War on Children” that I somehow missed?

The pity-filled Liberals would have cried all hour as the FOX Journalist interviewed victimized family after victimized family - - - a sure way to boost ratings, among pity-filled Liberals.

Why is FOX’s CEO Roger Ailes helping Obama hide this horrific REALITY side of the story?”

It is one thing for the Democrat’s Left Stream Media to swallow the con-artist words of Jarrett, Holden, Reid and Obama, but quite another for FOX News Network not even trying to be “Fair” OR “Balanced!”
