Jeff Sessions Slams Marco Rubio On Immigration, Praises Trump, Cruz
Breitbart ^ | February 6, 2016 | by Patrick Howley

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Alabama Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)criticized Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)stance on immigration while praising Donald Trump ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.

Sessions, the senator viewed as the intellectual godfather of the conservative movement as it clashes with the Republican establishment in this primary, praised Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)but warned against Rubio in an interview with New England-based radio host Howie Carr on Friday night.

“This is the deal. If the American people nominate a Republican candidate who favors amnesty and pathway to citizenship for illegals…then the matter is lost,” Sessions said gravely. “There is one opportunity to put this country on the course of a lawful system.”

“Ted Cruz I guess won in Iowa, and Ted stood by me as we fought against the Gang of 8 bill, which did pass the Senate and was on the verge of passing in the House when the leader in the House Eric Cantor got clobbered in his own district in the primary on this issue.”

“Marco Rubio was in the Gang of 8. They met in secret for several months,” Sessions said told Carr.

They met with La Raza, they met with the ACLU, they met with President Obama, they met with the Chamber of Commerce, and they wrote this bill and he became the chief proponent of this bill. And it would have increased the lawful flow of immigration from the colossal number of one million a year to one million point five, and it would have legalized eleven million people and put them on the path to citizenship.

“I think we should not nominate somebody who adheres to the views carried out by the Gang of 8 immigration bill,” Sessions said.

Rubio goes on Spanish TV and says one thing in Spanish, then says something else in English to us dumb gringos.

That kind of racially tribal behavior doesn't belong in the Oval Office.

Jeff Sessions is a tremendously gullible man. Don't we have anyone of substance in Congress.

I wish I could play poker with Sessions.

Rubio is to 2016 what Romney was to 2012. Four years ago, opposition to Obamacare should have been our signature issue, but it wasn’t because of Romneycare. Once again, we have a winning issue (illegal immigration/amnesty), so why shoot ourselves in the foot by nominating the one Republican who was so obviously on the wrong side of the issue?

The Cheap Labor Express vs The People

That’s what this fight is about.

Do we get to keep our country?

Your votes will determine the outcome.

If you vote for amnesty, you will lose your country.

Jeff sessions is a good man. And he’d beat you in poker.

Isn’t he conservative enough for you? Do you oppose his stand on the border?

That’s the plan. That’s what the RNC/GOP always does.

If Hunter had been nominated instead of McAmnesty, Obama might not have been elected. This issue has been purposely suppressed by TPTB.

On immigration Sessions is the gold standard. I believe he thinks now is the time and this is the hill all conservatives should be willing to die on. If we don’t stop the globalists now, nothing else matters. So what ever your main point is, abortion, smaller government etc. it really doesn’t matter if we lose control of the country. Ideological purity is pretty much worthless if the Elites gain complete control and we are over run with people who have no intention of being Americans. When Sessions endorses a candidate I will support him no matter what disagreements I may have on style or other issues.

I was hoping Sessions would throw his weight behind Cruz, but he is playing it cool for now and only aligning in the corner of Cruz and Trump. He did admit the other day that he has NOT talked to Trump in over a month. But to be honest I don’t know that Jeff has talked to Cruz in that time period either.
