Alabama senator Jeff Sessions argues in a new Fox News op-ed that the president’s plans for an executive order giving legal status to illegal aliens will mean the effective end of immigration enforcement in America. His full piece is here:
If the president’s promised executive amnesty goes through, we will functionally have open borders in America.
But the citizens of this country, through their vote, have the power to stop it.
The elite denizens of Washington and Wall Street scorn and mock the good and decent people of this country for wanting their laws enforced and their communities protected. They try to make you feel bad for having sensible and rational concerns about how uncontrolled immigration impacts your jobs, schools, neighborhoods, and community resources.
After years of mass immigration, falling wages, and surging joblessness, isn’t it time we focused on the needs of the people living here today? Isn’t it time we got our own people back to work?
But these cosmopolitan elites, these great citizens of the world, turn a blind eye to the suffering and poverty in their own backyards. These “Masters of the Universe” have forgotten that a nation owes its first loyalty to its own citizens.
And they want you to believe that you can’t win.
But they are so wrong.
And with your vote, you have the power to prove them wrong. You have the power to deliver a message they won’t forget.
