Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) suggests that building a wall and enforcing immigration laws are biblical concepts.
During his speech at the “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday, Sessions said, “the idea that nations don’t set laws, establish who can and can’t enter, is not biblical in my opinion.” After joking about how there was a wall built in Jerusalem, Sessions cited the Bible, but didn’t specifically mention presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and his plan to build a wall along the southern border with Mexico.
The “Road to Majority” conference is a gathering for conservative activists in Washington, D.C., which is hosted by Concerned Women for America and the Faith & Freedom Coalition.
“People don’t feel good about the economy. They don’t feel good about a lot of issues facing us,” Sessions told the conservative activists, referencing polls. “I think the American people are fundamentally correct and I believe it’s right and moral and just and biblical” for there to be a lawful system of immigration.
Sessions said when America brings in foreign labor, the poor people have wages drop and job prospects decrease.
“It’s hammering good and decent people that need to be able to raise a family,” he added about the increasing immigration numbers. “We just need to have a fair system that gives people and equal opportunity to apply.”
...
He also talked about the importance of the court system and the right to free speech.
“Our system was set up to allow public discussion,” of ideas and views, Sessions declared, stressing the need for free debate on the important issues facing the country.

Trump is great at pointing out the problem and pointing us in the direction of what needs to be done to fix the problem. That's what leaders do. He's not good at is explaining in detail WHY he's right (even though most of the time he is right).
Sessions can. He knows how to lay out in a calm, logical manner the WHY of Trump's positions.
Could not agree more.
Sessions got Donald off to a blazing start....catapaulted Donald to ntl acclaim w/ the Immigration Magna Carta.
Americans endorsed it holeheartedly.
Sessions needs to be rewarded w/ the VP job.
Latin America will never enter the 21st century until their dregs are denied entry in the US
Right on Mr Sessions.
We used to know that.
The only guy that won’t stab Trump in the back.His only choice for VP
(PLEASE NOTE THAT HE WAS A DEMOCRAT!)

I believe that this nation is the last hope of Western civilization and if this oasis of the world shall be overrun, perverted, contaminated or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will be extinguished. I take no issue with those who would praise the contributions which have been made to our society by people of many races, of varied creeds and colors.
America is indeed a joining together of many streams which go to form a mighty river which we call the American way. However, we have in the United States today hard-core, indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into the American way of life, but which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies.
Today, as never before, untold millions are storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the strain. The solution of the problems of Europe and Asia will not come through a transplanting of those problems en masse to the United States.... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the enemies of this legislation succeed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond recognition, they will have contributed more to promote this nation's downfall than any other group since we achieved our independence as a nation.

You can say that again! McCarran is also the guy for whom the Las Vegas International Airport was named. He was a good and decent man even if he liked FDR.
Yep. Trump retweeted 2-3 days ago a tweet with Sessions as a preferred pick from somebody....
YES. From your keyboard to God's ear.
I don’t know. Sessions may be the right choice, but I do have faith in Trump’s judgement.
There are several good choices. Sen. Session is one of them.
Sessions is indeed the man! A smart common sense southerner. He needs to be VP!
From article:
“Jesus talked about the poor a lot and we should think about that... in my view, I’ve changed.”
One of the favorite lies of the Left is that Jesus was a socialist.
He absolutely was not.
A) He came to uphold the Law; that includes private property rights.
B) He came to save people from the wages of sin, not from the unwages of poverty.
Socialism (a euphemism for communism) is based on other people’s money. Jesus cared about the individual person’s spirit and soul. If that person had a problem with greed, then Christ told him, specifically, so. It was always individual.
Christian charity is Biblical, personal, and spiritual.
Communism is secular, impersonal, and materialistic.
The down side is, it would have an impact on whether the GOP can hold the Senate, and removes the *wrong kind* of Republican from a safe seat.
