Hill Source: Sessions 'Very Encouraged' by House Immigration Bill Changes

"Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) isn't saying either way whether he's backing the new House immigration bill, but a hill source tells Breitbart News that he's "very encouraged" by what's happened thus far on Friday.

“Senator Sessions is very encouraged by the significant developments in the House,” a congressional source told Breitbart News.

Over the past week plus, Sessions has been a major player in the goings-on of this immigration war. When Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) introduced the House GOP leadership recommendations on behalf of the working group Speaker John Boehner set up, Sessions called the plan’s failure to mention President Obama at all—never mind his executive amnesty plans—an “institutional surrender” to Obama’s “planned illegality.”

A day or so later, Sessions issued a clarion call to the American people to melt the phone lines in Congress to stop the GOP leadership plan—which the people followed through on throughout this week.

But then comes the dictator with a pen and a phone.

Obama will Veto everything but the Senate Amnesty Bill

Isn’t this Sessions a RINO? Can he be trusted?

[sheikdetailfeather]

Sessions is not a RINO and can be trusted.

Pete is the RINO, Jeff is on our side.

Sessions is in the same class as Ted Cruz, one of the few I would trust. But it is rhetorical anyway. Harry Reid has already declared anything sensible as DOA in the U.S. Senate.

Jeff Sessions with his crew of experienced law assistants almost singlehandedly stopped the amnesty bill under Bush.

The enablers were bragging about the fines, the waiting periods, etc. before citizenship; then Sessions took the floor and pointed out sections, citing paragraphs, that took away all the fines and waits, "IF SUCH AND SUCH.....".

In other words, parts of it sounded good, but it was totally undermined in other sections.

Besides, what good would another law do if the White Hut squatter decided he didn't like it?

I don’t think so. The one you can trust is Jeff Sessions, senator, not Pete Sessions, in the House. Check it out. Pete is a RINO.
