Senator Jeff Sessions (Rep- Ala) (before midterms) called for Americans to pressure their senators about voting against President Obama’s expected executive orders on immigration, which he described as a “chilling” plot with activists to undermine national laws.
“Recent developments suggest the president’s planned executive amnesty could be increasingly imminent and broad in scope. House Democrat Leader Pelosi — clearly one of the White House’s closest allies — has just urged the president to issue ‘the broadest possible’ executive actions,” Sessions said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Open-borders groups have grown bolder and louder in their unlawful demands, launching a campaign for the president to ‘go big,’ and demanding that he ‘stand up’ to Congress and ‘expand DACA,’” he added, citing an Associated Press report that administration officials were meeting with immigration activists and the Chamber of Commerce.
“It is chilling to consider now that these open-border groups, frustrated in their aims by our Constitutional system of government, are plotting with the Obama administration to collect their spoils through executive fiat,” Sen Sessions said.
Sessions issued the statement in an attempt to build pressure on Democrats, especially red-state senators facing reelection, to force a vote on the House-passed bill to prevent Obama from expanding DACA or issuing any work permits to illegal immigrants.
“The steps that must be taken are clear: the Senate must vote on the House-passed measure to stop these unlawful actions. It is true that Majority Leader Reid is blocking it from a vote. But Reid acts only with the blessing of his members in the Democrat conference — so the American people have the power to force it to a vote through their elected senators,” Sessions said.
Sen Sessions exhorted Americans: “That begins with asking a simple question: Where do your senators stand?”

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA A sweet irony---the "party of the people" lacerated, and dumped, by "the people."
What the Republican takeover looks like as of midnight 11/5---some states still undecided

MIDTERM WRAP-UP The treasure trove of The Midterm Democrat Demolition in the Congress and down-ticket have yet to be fully- mined. But this we know:
<><> Astute Political analyst Chris Stirewalt nailed it on The Kelly File---Obama (and all the loser Dems) still can't fathom what happened---that their misspent lives as Democrats are going to change dramatically.
<><> When the next Senate convenes, 25 lock-stepping Democrats will be gone;
<><> the GOP's majority in the House will be so big and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Democrats won't be able to recapture it until at least 2022.
<><> Some say Republicans have a 100-year majority.
Thank you Sen Sessions.
