Jeff Sessions Rings Alarm About Spending Bill:
Obama Will 'Be Allowed' To Bring 10,000 Syrians Into America


( excerpt )
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is warning Americans that
under newly minted House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)'s and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)'s planned government funding bill,
President Barack Obama will be "allowed" to bring in 10,000 Syrian refugees and place them in American communities.

Session said in a statement released this morning:
As currently written, this year's appropriations bills - which will be combined into a catch-all 'omnibus' by December 11th - amount to a blank check for the President to carry out his refugee resettlement plans.

Not only will the President be allowed to bring in the 85,000 refugees he has announced on top of current record immigration levels,
but this will include at least 10,000 refugees from Syria
who will subsequently be able to bring in their foreign relatives.
All refugees are eligible for lifetime government benefits and Social Security and Medicare access,
and are on a fast-track to becoming voting U.S. citizens.
More than 90 percent of recent Middle Eastern refugees are on welfare.

... Altogether, we can expect to issue nearly 700,000 green cards - or lifetime residency cards - to migrants from Muslim nations over the next five years
(as we did over the last five years).
Terror groups have demonstrated that they will recruit from among this inflow.

We have already identified nearly 30 foreign-born individuals charged or convicted of terrorism offenses in the last year
- investigations which required the deployment of vast manpower, financial and legal resources.

... The Obama Administration has additionally said it may admit up to 30,000 Syrian refugees into our nation next fiscal year.

... There is, however, no limit on the number that the President can admit this year or any year under current law,
if Congress continues to write blank checks.
It is also expected that the omnibus bill will fund the Office of Refugee Resettlement's continued placement of illegal aliens from Central America into U.S. communities - instead of deporting them - on top of the enormous green card flow.

... It is further expected that the omnibus will continue federal funding for 'sanctuary cities' and allow for the continued operation of the President's 2012 executive amnesty program,
which provides work authorizations and government benefits to some 700,000 illegal aliens under the age of 30.
And, shockingly, the omnibus may also include a huge expansion of the H-2B foreign worker visa program,
used to fill blue collar jobs such as truck driving, landscaping, construction work, and hotel service.
This action would further replace and reduce wages of American workers during a time of record immigration and historically low workforce participation rates.

Sessions noted that there is no reason that Ryan or McConnell needs to give Obama this money
to place Syrians in American cities and towns or continue sanctuary city lawlessness.
The only way Americans' tax dollars get spent on these matters
is because Republican leadership in Congress decides to spend them there.


... The President's annual funding requests are just that: requests.
It is the exclusive and sole constitutional prerogative of Congress whether or not to accept his requests, reject them,
or impose whatever conditions Congress deems proper on behalf of taxpaying Americans.
Now is the hour of choosing for Congress;
will we surrender - funding Obama’s entire immigration agenda -
or will we assert Congress’s power
on behalf of the interests of the American people,
and declare by appropriations what programs are worthy
and what are not?
