BACKGROUND:
In the dead of night after 2am this morning, Congressional leadership unveiled a more than 2,000 page 'omnibus' year-end funding bill which would, among other things: fully-fund the President's refugee expansion; fully-fund sanctuary cities; fully-fund the resettlement of illegal aliens youth and their families crossing the border; lock-in tax credits for illegal aliens; and quadruple the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker visa being used to replace Americans as truck drivers, construction workers, theme park employees, and in blue collar jobs across the nation.
Sessions, the Chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee, issued a statement about the bill as it speeds to a vote before it can be read, observing in part that GOP voters: "have come to believe that their party's elites are not only uninterested in defending their interests but - as with this legislation, and fast-tracking the President's international trade pact - openly hostile to them." On the floor today, Sessions further reminded his colleagues that their duty is the American people - not special interests, immigration advocacy groups, or lobbyists for narrow business concerns.
Sessions observed that - as the omnibus paves the way for a huge immigration increase beyond today's record-breaking highs - that more than 8 in 10 American voters want the level of immigration in American frozen or cut, and yet the GOP-led Congress is about to surge it even higher.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau - even without these increases - immigration will add the population equivalent of 1 new Los Angeles to the country each 3 years.
The U.S. has admitted 59 million immigrants since 1965. As historical context, after the numerically-smaller 1880-1920 immigration wave, future immigration was reduced to promote wage growth for US-born and immigrant workers: there was zero net growth in the foreign-born population over the course of the next half-century (in fact, it declined markedly). Now, after five decades of unprecedented immigration, the U.S. is on path to add another five decades of unprecedented immigration on top of that - setting new all-time records every single decade to come.
WE NEED TO BE BLOWING UP HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT
So I guess we can all see you can’t back your BS up. Don’t feel to bad though. No one has yet.
Most of you were having orgasms trying to get rid of Bohner. Now you don’t like the guy you loved a short time ago. Perhaps you just need to think about who you want as Majority Leader and convince them to run. These idiot conservatives didn’t run for the dang position. Paul Ryan didn’t want it. He had to be forced into the position and owes nobody anything.
If a thread is ‘hot’ the mods will let it run. And they should.
It wouldn’t matter. They don’t give a sh*t about us.
and Ted Cruz
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Congress' half-trillion dollar spending binge...
Increases deficit by hundreds of billions...
Funds 'climate' deal...
Planned Parenthood PRAISES...
Makes it 'harder to repeal Obamacare'...
Conservatives give pass on deal they despise!
SESSIONS: THIS is why voters in 'open rebellion'...
AMERICAN WORKER SOLD OUT...
Includes $1.6 billion to resettle illegals INSIDE USA...
LIMBAUGH: Never a battle. None of this was opposed...
The DNC and the GOPe are in full sellout mode.
If anyone is surprised, raise your hand.
This is sickening. I am actually going to pray for new leaders. Any incumbent voting for this monstrous profligate spending needs to voted out of office. If that means GOP seats going to Dems, so be it. Ideally I would like to see a new party replace the GOP because one leftist party is bad. 2 is suicide.
Fresh knife in my back.
I hope trump wins now....
I dont give a damn anymore.
Im done with Washington rat thieves,both sides.
Fresh knife in the back of all conservatives, be they Trump or Cruz or other supporters.
You are right about being thieves on both sides. It’s despicable.
I think I’d heard that Sessions was Trump’s main advisor when he announced his candidacy, and I don’t know for how long after that. Maybe still? If/WHEN Trump wins, I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Mr. Sessions.
Home viewing bookmark.
I have been a county committeeman and got to interview many people with political aspirations seeking ballot line access. If you don't have people deciding strictly on the basis of the most conservative candidate, whatever the office, you get big government, statist people that just want to be part of the gravy train. I, and others I read, lament the lack of civic involvement on the part of ordinary Americans. It is a woefully small percentage of any party, club, affiliation that actually show up and say aye or nay. To any issue.
I think the left realized this long ago and saw that it is possible to enact radical change with very few "activists" acting in concert. It's why you see so many progressive events/groups made up of the same people. IOW, the right needs to get off it's a$$ and stop just complaining.
Ya. If Cruz or Trump isn’t on the ballot I move we all write in Joe Arpiao. Can u imagine? Lol
