Sessions

young people who are the children who respected our laws are not part of this

In other words because I am a REAL immigrant and jumped through every hoop to come here, my children are not included in this...

If Durbin’s argument is followed, then, if a child commits a crime that the parent committed, that child should not be held responsible.

[duh!]

Called Grassley’s office in Sioux City and was told the vote was going to happen momentarily. She would not indicate which way he would vote.

The vote is on!

Did Sen. Sessions just say that the White House opposes the Dream Act?

I just called and was told by a staffer that the vote was going on now and that she didn’t know how my Senator would vote. Great, huh? She said they’d know in about 15 minutes.
