With enforcement of immigration law said to be eroding under the Obama administration, Sen. Jeff Sessions has introduced a new bill to strengthen immigration enforcement.
“Congress spends too much time catering to special interests, and not enough time serving the people who sent us here. Advancing this bill would be a dramatic step towards reestablishing the severed trust between the people and their government,” Sessions, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, said Monday.

There is no trust between real Americans and the current government, and trust cannot be reestablished until at the earliest January 20, 207.
Eroding? There are upwards of 30 million illegals now in the U.S. Been going on decade after decade.
Just curious, when did this politician figure out it’s been eroding?
Well done Senator Sessions. And that is a perfect name for the bill. Keep it in their faces just exactly who is paying the real price not only in tax burden but in lives, for their doing the bidding of the COC and the Cheap Labor Express (h/t lurkinanloomin) instead of the American citizens they were sent there to represent.
Have you taken a look at Calais and the channel tunnel, today? I bet Cameron won’t do a damned thing.
Sounds like a pretty racist and exclusionary bill.
Bttt
Since he knows it’s not going to get anywhere, why is he doing it?
Some might say, “It exposes the open-borders pols.” So? They’ll still win.
Is it perfunctory? Is he just used to it? Is he trying to pad his Heritage Foundation score.
He’s supposed to be working for the people of Alabama. He’s really doing nothing for them. Our good politicians need to realize the government is broken and they’re wasting their time, and quick.
What specificly do you want him to do? No generalities, Specifics?
He voted against Fast Track Authority, he send letters to the rest of the Senate Republicans explaining why he was against it. He released a public statement listing his objections.
He is now introducing Legislation to enforce laws currently on the books.
You expect him to arm himself and stand a post?
You are right, enforcement went from inadequate under Clinton, to almost non-existent under Bush to non-existent under Obama.
You could probably answer that question as well as I can. Just answer these questions: Where do you think we stand as a country?
Do you think all three branches of the federal government is corrupt?
Do you think agents of the federal government (NSA, IRS, TSA, EPA, ATF, etc) are actively engaged in harassing the American people?
Do you wish we had a legitimate leader who would call for an immediate forceful stop to all of it? Or at least a vote of no confidence in the federal tyranny?
Nice Straw man.
Jeff Sessions is a United States Senator. He is a Legislator. He is NOT in the executive branch of Government.
He voted down Fast Track Authority and has introduced Legislation to enforce current Immigration Law.
He has no Authority to grant Pardons, Create and enact Executive Orders or enforce laws.
So again, please state specificly what you want him to do other than what he is doing?
Go to the floor of the senate and read give me liberty or give me death.
Well, by golly, THAT would change everything!
If you think that sarcasm works to minimize my comment, then you should reread Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death. If a senator read that, replaced “The Throne” and “Parliament” with “The President” and “Congress,” it would change everything. What if someone in congress said some variant of...
“We have petitioned — we have remonstrated — we have supplicated — we have prostrated ourselves before the Executive branch, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the the courts, agencies, and the congress. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from positions of authority. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation.”
Yes it would. McConnell, Boehner and Obama would be on National TV calling for his removal from the Senate for making terrorist threats against Members of the Administration and Congress.
No doubt.
