Sessions: ‘Colossal Error’ to Pass Immigration Spending Without Blocking ‘Administrative Amnesty’
rollcall.com ^ | 7/23/14 | Niels Lesnewski

Sen. Jeff Sessions says it would be “institutional surrender” for the House to advance an immigration spending bill without preventing President Barack Obama from expanding “administrative amnesty” for millions of additional unauthorized immigrants.

The Alabama Republican made that case in a lengthy statement circulated Wednesday afternoon, and he expanded on those views in a brief conversation with CQ Roll Call.

“I think it would be a colossal error to pass any kind of legislation that does not prohibit the president from granting legal status to five or six million people, as he’s indicated he intends to do,” Sessions said. “I’m baffled that the House talking points didn’t deal with that … The House principles didn’t address President Obama’s failure to execute the laws and expressed no concern about that danger.”

Sessions issued his statement in response to a report of recommendations to address the border crisis and the flood of unaccompanied migrant children from a House GOP “working group” led by Rep. Kay Granger of Texas. Appropriators on both sides of the Rotunda are working to put together supplemental legislation, but the two plans are vastly different.

Sessions’ written statement appears below:

“The border crisis is the direct and predictable result of the President’s sustained policies undermining America’s immigration laws. The President’s continued determination to carry out this nullification remains the singular obstacle in the way of restoring lawfulness. It is therefore odd that the House working group did not mention President Obama even once in their released findings. Indeed, they made no mention of the President’s threat of sweeping new executive actions. Multiple reports indicate that these imminent actions are likely to take the form of administrative amnesty and work permits for 5-6 million illegal immigrants.

I would have called it treason, but ‘colossal error’ is a start.

It’s clear Boehner still hasn’t figured out which team he’s supposed to be on.

I suppose he figures as long as he keeps the Chamber of Commerce and his other paymasters happy then that’s all that matters.

I’m glad Sessions and Steve King are willing to speak out on the Republican leadership perfidy on immigration.

Sessions seems to be the only one in Washington that has a clue.

Need a retort to the Democrats whining about the "little children"?

Self-righteous Nancy Pelosi whines: “Every child, every person, has a spark of divinity in them and is therefore worthy of respect…[because] we are all God’s children.”

REPLY: Nancy conveniently excludes American children. Democrats think it's okay to steal from them, expose them to exotic deadly diseases, dismember them during birth, brainwash them into being willing sheep led to the slaughter, adopt them out to homosexual pedophiles, deny them medical care, or whatever abuses Democrats have yet to dream up.

Self-righteous Democrats label us "meanies" b/c we want to protect our children----we don't want to bankrupt our children's futures----we don't want to expend all of America's resources to the tenth generation to subsidize illegal "children".

Besides, we were here first. We did not invite illegals to the party.......they came here to leech off of us.

Someone please notify your Congressmen that Obama is using OUR tax dollars to bus, fly, and then transport “the children” all over the U.S. to increase the brownskins population as a part of a Cloward - Piven strategy to overwhelm the system and destroy our nation. If the white congressmen don’t heed this word they will be out looking for a job in this economy and it won’t be pretty. This is a hostile takeover. The company transporting all the illegals and making a fortune is. Note that this has been confirmed via multiple credible sources. These are the guys transporting the illegals day and night sometimes transporting in the wee hours of the morning to evade detection and I assure you they are getting their 30 pieces of silver o betray the American people:

Obama has requested nearly $4 billion to throw at the problem, none of that money bolsters border security.

House Republicans have a $1.5 billion border bill that is offset by budget cuts elsewhere....and is less than half of the $3.7 billion Obama requested. OTOH, Senate Democrats are working on a rival bill that would provide $2.7 billion in emergency funding....a billion less than the ding-a ling requested.

CONTACT YOUR REPS AT ONCE: The funding bill MUST contain provisions for IRS, SEC, FBI, Secret Service surveillance of all WH communiques---with power to supboena all of Valerie Jarret's wire-transfer records, cell phone records, mobile devide records, computer hard drives, emails, instagram posts, her communiques with the DNC, and the like.

Tell your Reps----no frickin' way do taxpayers want Obama to get billions of our tax dollars----without assurances that the vote-crazed ding-a-ling is not using it to buy Democrat votes for amnesty....or to wire-transfer zillions to repay Central America honchos for emptying their decrepit villages to give Obama new Democrat voters.

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

BACKSTORY Obama used billions in tax dollars to get the Obamacare debacle passed. Some observers have noted that the Democrat-controlled Senate passed Obamacare "after a series of unsavory transactions that purchased the aye votes of several shrewdly extortionate Democrats"....with a huge pile of money still unaccounted for.

The most unsavory was Landrieu's $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."

THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (Scumocrat-LA) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

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

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare. But not the measly $200 million but $4.3 billon was attached to the Obamacare bill earmarked for Landrieu.

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

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was calculatedly attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare....and perhaps helped elect more loyal lock-stepping Democrats.

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

RED FLAG Even though nobody asked him, Harry Reid (D-Nev) recently announced "the border is secure"..... a potent signal that hanky-panky is afoot.

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

NO TAX DOLLARS TO CENTRAL AMERICA---no sub rosa wire-transfers from Valeria Jarret's office to repay Central America honchos for emptying their decrepit villages to give Obama new Democrat voters.

THE FOREIGN AID FRAUD MODUS OPERANDI---Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (swindler was elected to "redistribute" the nation's wealth) An ex-president of Guatemala faced charges in NY that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo personally endorsed three, $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by “a close associate and political supporter” .....the money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...and plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator through overdrafts financed by public reserves -- stolen money paid for expensive watches and cars, for himself and his associates, according to the indictment.

Vote-crazed Obama bas been reduced to being a Third World flunky setting the US up big time...he's colluding and conspiring w/ the Third World. Money is changing hands sub rosa....foreign aid, extortion, kickbacks, money-laundering are in the mix.

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

Aided and abetted by Boobamba, the Third World is relying on an old formula---going back to Greco/Roman times: a powerful, thriving bountiful country being overrun by savages, barbarians and thieves lusting after the country's power and riches.

Central America is salivating for power and riches ---they have no other aspirations than to confiscate our tax dollars to facilitate their armed conflict to takeback the SW and ultimatley America, itself.

THIS WE KNOW the barbarians know that our govt responds to pressure groups---so they are emptying out their villages---driving the savages across the border.

The immigration reform leeches are being coached by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US government

THE GOOD NEWS The latino vote has no impact whatsoever---it's a nothng 10% and will remain so in the foreseeable future. Democrats barely mention immigration reform on the campaign trail despite making the issue their top domestic priority in 2013 and 2014.

The news gets worse for power-mad latinos. Cong Luis Guttierez went ballistic on broadcast news---he knows the power he desperately wants is slipping from his greedy paws.

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

The Greeks and Romans didnt have the internet, social media, instagram, etc.... nor were they confronted w/ L/E power.

DO THIS NOW----CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated---supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who they're communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know which members of these tax-funded groups belong to violent latino organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

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

THIS WE KNOW Obama's colluding and conspiring w/ the Third World to facilitate the overthrow:
<><>sending them our tax dollars and resources to help violate our borders,
<><>chartering buses and planes to dump them on unsuspecting towns,
<><> planning WH meetings on how to get more new Democrat voters across the border,
<><> registering the multiple identities w/ the DNC,
<><> handing out apps for riding the US gravy train in exchange for votes.

Jeff Sessions is totally right. But they should give no money except for additional border patrol agents and airplane fare to send everyone back. Forget the judges and the hearings. For $8 million they can all be flown back first class.

Baffled? You are up against the Obama-Boehner Axis, what is so baffling?
