Sessions Arms House Republicans Against Boehner Immigration Push

In an unusually aggressive move, top immigration hawk Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL) is moving to preemptively arm House Republicans with anti-amnesty talking points and other materials ahead of a major planning session at the House GOP's Maryland retreat tomorrow.

Sessions' office hand-delivered a four-piece packet to House members that includes a “Myth vs. Fact” document on immigration talking points to prepare them to fight back against immigration proposals Speaker John Boehner is expected to push in a closed-door meeting.

The 14-page Myth vs. Fact document, provided exclusively to Breitbart News by Sessions' staff, breaks down 10 of the major talking points commonly used by amnesty proponents and offers detailed rebuttals.

For example, the first "myth" reads, “There should be no special path to citizenship for those who have broken our immigration laws."

In response, Sessions writes, “Any path that leads to a green card for someone who is currently ineligible for a green card because they violated U.S. immigration laws, such as the Senate bill, is a special path to citizenship.”

The packet is unusual because members of the Senate generally do not involve themselves heavily in the internal affairs of the House as a matter of protocol. Sessions has recently shown a new willingness to challenge Boehner in this regard, creating an interesting political dynamic beyond the explosive immigration debate.

Good news Cotton, thanks......Sessions is doing a good job on amnesty, and I don't see anyone else as involved. I've admired him since he stood up and defended Clarence Thomas when other repubs went and hid....

Go Senator......CHARGE.........

Sessions is at least one Gop pol who is opposing the Rinos like Paul Ryan, who stood up and Applauded Obama during his speech when Obama was talking about Amnesty.

We won’t forget Ryan cares so little for the unemployed that he want to bring in millions more cheap laborers just to make the pigs at the Chamber of Commerce a few more bucks.

Only Grover Norquist seems stupid enough to attack Jeff Sessions.

He’s also probably the safest (from primary and general) Republican up in 2014.

He’s correct about Goodlatte. Any legal status means the illegals will eventually get closer and closer to citizenship. Goodlatte is also playing word games with which illegals have “knowingly broken the law”. The ones who didn’t know they were breaking the law get citizenship.

Wow, talking points? I’ve got to see this!

Usually they just go out and say the first thing that pops into their head.

Throwing out McConnell, Graham, Boehner, and Ryan will get these minds right.

Black and Latino unemployment rates are already far higher than white unemployment rates.

The Mexican-American unemployment rate is between 10 and 12 percent.

If American companies can’t employ the millions of Mexican-Americans already in this country, why do they insist on displacing minority workers born in this country, including Mexican-Americans, by legalizing 12 million more? - - Greenfield...
