Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said President Obama would rather play politics than follow the law to remedy the humanitarian crisis festering at the southern border.
“This is a direct failure of presidential leadership,” Sessions said Thursday at the Eagle Forum’s annual leadership conference. “I’ve never seen anything like this steadfast refusal to follow the law.”
Session said the president’s refusal to deport young illegal immigrants gathering at the border lends credence to the amnesty rumors in Central America that fuel the crises. He said if Obama instead would “establish clarity,” it would cause all the “anger and frustration would go away.
“We are not opposed to immigrants—we admit a million people a year,” he said. “We’re a generous nation and we believe in immigration, but it’s unthinkable not to have a lawful process.”
Sessions said Obama should take a play from his predecessor’s playbook and draw a hard diplomatic line. According to Sessions, the George W. Bush administration reduced illegal arrivals by two-thirds in three months and by 90 percent within six months by taking a “firm stand” during a similar crisis with Brazil.
But Obama, Sessions said, is more concerned with political victories and pushing his own agenda. Although the White House initially sought a legislative solution, Sessions expects the president will “start a media campaigns to say it’s Congress’ fault.”
According to Sessions, Obama has communicated to lawmakers that “if you won’t give me amnesty, I won’t enforce the law.”

Republicans shouldn’t respond to extortion. I say let this blow up in Hussein obamar’s face.
If I posted how I really feel about this president and his minions, I’d be banned from this site. However, I’m watching Hannity right now and one thing stood out to me - those who are in the detention centers are calling home telling others how well and great they are being treated here - so come on up. This is why I think those involved in humanitarian aide should cease and desist - that includes Glenn Beck and his “charitable” focus. Feed them, and then send them home.
It’s not a failure of his leadership. It’s his plan, exactly. Bring them in by the trainload, distribute the future voters into districts throughout the country where they will help democrats the most.
And the foreign influenced Bishops are happily helping.
So to Sessions, BUSH was a tough on immigration type. We are so screwed.
He has no idea what’s being done. People must recognize that Obama has only bad intentions for the United States.
So what are you going to do about it, Jeffie?
I would have to reply to the Mr. Shelby that he has been around for a hell of a lot longer than Obama.
He needs to look in the mirror. All of this destruction has been wrought during the tenure of these so called conservatives.
Whoops. I meant Sessions

With assists from “academia”, liberal Jews (no, I am NOT an anti-semite but support Israel’s right to exist) and a few others, the 47% no/low info voters hooked on “free chit” put a MAD MAN in the Spite House! And if you thought the last 6 years were insane, wait until next year!
