Sessions has implemented the President’s immigration policies. I don’t know about you, but immigration is right on the top of my list of reasons I voted for Trump.

>snip>

Trump made immigration a centerpiece of his campaign, and he has relied on his Attorney General to keep that promise. To encourage local jurisdictions to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, Sessions has implemented new conditions for federal law enforcement grants. Cities that do not report the arrest of an illegal immigrant to federal immigration officials will be denied these funds. This is a wise use of the carrot that is federal funding because, as Sessions has put it, “so-called ‘sanctuary’ cities make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes.” Moreover, at the request of the Department of Homeland Security, the DoJ is investigating the possibility of bringing criminal charges against political leaders of “sanctuary cities,” who deliberately defy federal law.

Sessions’s emphasis on immigration enforcement is also clear from his decisions to send more than 100 immigration judges across the country to help process immigration cases, and to create the position of Border Security Coordinator in U.S. Attorney’s Offices around the country. Finally, the DoJ has mounted a strong legal defense of the president’s Executive Order restricting the entry of foreign nationals from countries that “present heightened threats” to America. This constellation of policies shows that the Attorney General is dedicated to keeping our borders secure and our immigration laws respected.

Sessions has also done important work to fight violent crime. In response to the alarming increase in violence committed against law enforcement officers in 2016, he announced $98 million in funding awards to 179 agencies around America. This money will fund the hiring of over 800 full-time officers. In addition to helping the thin blue line, the DoJ is aggressively pursuing MS-13 — the gang whose motto declares their intent to “kill, rape and control.” Mr. Sessions has made the gang a top priority for the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces, and last November the DoJ partnered with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest more than 200 MS-13 members. In fact, the Department convicted more than 1,200 members of various gangs last year.

The attacks on Sessions are getting old real fast. Since you brought up TV shows, I’ll cite one, too: real criminal prosecutions aren’t like watching an episode of Law and Order: They aren’t wrapped up neatly on TV for all to see in 42 minutes. They take time, coordination, and secrecy. And they can fall apart quickly if proper precedures aren’t followed. You and the rest of the Sessions bashers sound like a bunch of hyperactive, short attion-spanned millenials.
