Sessions blasts Tuberville for ‘being wrong on immigration’; calls it a top issue
Al.com ^ | June 22 2020 | John Sharp

Posted on 07/14/2020 9:20:06 AM PDT by rintintin

Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions attacked his July 14 GOP runoff opponent for “being wrong on immigration,” an issue that he calls “one of the most important issues” Congress is faced with as it wrangles with other concerns such as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and police reform.

(I’m not saying) that it’s No. 1, but it’s right up there,” said Sessions during a news conference Monday in Mobile. “We have 11 million people here unlawfully. In some years, we’ve had 11 million people arrested at the (U.S.-Mexico) border. If we do this right, the number of attempts for entering illegally will plummet.”

Sessions is absolutely not good, but he is STILL better than the Commie Rat Jones

“Tuberville is pro H1B. Absolutely terrible for America.”

And Rip Van Sessions slept through the DOJ attacks leading to impeachment of our President...worse for America.

He cost Trump 3 years of even more accomplishments.

Well, we’ll see. All that matters is Electing a Republican over that Rat Doug Jones.

It’s up to the fine People of Alabama to make the call as to who that Republican will be.

Now, what will happen in Georgia? I just remembered that we have two Senate Seats at risk there. The idea of Majority Leader Chuck the Schmuck Schumer is making me ill.

I hear you and I am more nervous looking at the Senate than I am about the Presidential election heading into November.

It is crazy isn’t it? Given the policies of the far left and the absolute control they have over the DNC at the moment you would think (hope) that more voters would soundly reject them, but the disconnect between state and local races and what is happening in DC has always existed. A vote for a democrat in the house is a vote for Pelosi. A vote for a democrat in the Senate is a vote for Schumer.

And American lives are not destroyed by pro-Indian H1B cucks like Tuberville?

Should educated, experienced and highly-qualified Americans as myself work in menial physical labor jobs that even the Mexicans reject just to survive, just so the Indian jobs express can continue?

All of Congress are traitors to the American people when it comes to bringing in foreign trash.

Sessions isn’t perfect, but he was for a long time the only Senator willing to stand up for Americans. The other guy would be going in without any sort of know how or relationships to lean on in the Senate. Tuberwhatsit would initially have the support of Trump, but Sessions used to as well. If Trumps support went poof, Sessions has a power base and the other guy does not.

I for one will be waiting to see what the good people of Alabama decide. To my thinking, they are the best of us.

Roy Moore was also better than “Commie Rat Jones.” Yet the GOP establishment openly campaigned for progressive Democrat Jones. Why is that?

"Sessions is still using that bogus “11 million” figure? It’s more like 50 or 60 million!"

He must have meant we have 11 million in California alone. No not really, he's just lying like they all do about the invasion of illegals. The number is easily two and half times that and likely more.

Someone needs to ask him how when people are pouring across our boarder 24/7/365 yet that 11 million figure never seems to change overs many years. How do you explain that Jeff?

The H-1B program blossomed while Jeff Sessions was a sitting GOP Senator and “cuck” Tommy was coaching football. If anybody is to blame for H-1B it is the GOP of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. The same GOP old bulls that love them some H-1B are all endorsing Sleepy Sessions. Why is that?

"If I remember correctly, before covid19, there was a big shortage of IT workers in this country."

Where did you get that information? The IT industry is saturated with H1B fake resume incompetent Indians. It's really out right massive fraud.

Tommy Tuberville is a Trump man, swampy Sessions isn’t.

You and I have been lone voices here on occasion defending Sessions record as senator

He obviously fell short as AG

Cross-voting is not allowed. For a voter to vote in the runoff, the voter is required to vote in the Republican primary.

Sessions wimped out when he was needed most as AG. Send him home for good. Give Tuberville the nod.

Sessions was a terrible AG - doesn't mean he was a bad senator. Tuberville is weak on immigration. But it's up to the people of AL, not me out in CA.

And what good did that do? California. Gone. Most western states. Gone. Virginia. Gone. TX, GA and FL on the brink.

The amnesty loving GOP Senate old bulls are endorsing Sessions. Ask yourself why that it is if they disagree so much on policy.

Sessions was anti-H1B. Your boy Tuberville is pro-H1B. He will fit right in with the other Republican traitors who as recently as last month sent a letter to Trump demanding that H1Bs and other Indian visas be continued.

Yes, and it is still 580k vs 10 million. And they do go home, because unlike illegal immigration, it is regulated. No job, no visa.

> “ H1B is legal immigration. Not the same as illegal immigration”
> It’s the same in taking jobs from Americans.

It is a lot worse in a way. It is taking well-paying jobs for educated people.

It’s even worse than that. Dishonest and actually stupid thought processes, that native-born Americans find crazy, are taking over businesses.
