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.
guillotines.....
I feel sorry for the young people in tbis country. What a future we’re leaving to them.
Trump/Sessions!
He understands! My Senator.
That’s what I’d suspected :(
They are just about the only ones I trust anymore.
Jeff Sessions couldn’t make it as a supreme court justice because there are too many immigrants already voting against him - this is his way to fight back, in the senate
This is wrong
Why cant we get Patriots in office instead of the disgusting NWO types??
I LOVE THAT MAN. He is one of the few in the zoo who holds more than a candle to light the ways of the dark corridors.
If only, we had a Sessions in every state-we would not be in this dire predicament PASS THIS BILL AND OUR AMERICA WILL PASS IN RECORD TIME.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???? WHERE ARE THEIR HEADS???
DEAR JESUS HELP US NOW!!!
TRUMP + CRUZ = JUSTICE!!!
What the hell are tax-credits for Illegal Aliens??
Insanity!
Get a few congressmen, need not be many, to vote no confidence and walk out.
I hit the abuse button and reported that this was a duplicate but nothing was done about it.
I wonder which Republican put that into the bill? Insane and traitorous.
I too would like to have names. Who did what? Who votes how?
They got a concession from the Democrats after giving them everything they want to destroy the country. The Republican donors get to export the glut of petroleum that has been keeping our prices so cheap at the pump.
So there’s that!
The thing that is more important than the presidency is voting this Paul Ryan menace out of office. If it can’t happen by primary, you need to vote for the ‘rat. It’s just one seat in the House so it’s a win for conservatives to help the Democrat win that seat if it comes down to that.
I have been saying the same thing for a long time. Every candidate is controlled by their rich donors.
The only truly independent candidate is Donald Trump.
EGGSACTLY!!!
It is a debit card loaded with tax payer funds.
Jeff Sessions is one of the few who care about America’s future...God bless him for his persistence...
