EXCLUSIVE: SESSIONS ARMS HOUSE REPUBLICANS AGAINST BOEHNER IMMIGRATION PUSH
Breitbart ^ | 1/29/14 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 01/29/2014 10:48:02 AM PST by jimbo123

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.

This is good. Sen Cruz has been known to spend time shoring up the defenses of skittish House Republicans as well. It's a shame that the one body of govt where Republicans hold the majority needs such hand-holding to stand up to a light-weight crybaby like Boehner.

I know, we are a bunch of pansies. Didn’t move down here though to ever have the temp be less than my age! We usually go to Pagosa Springs or Avon, Colorado between Christmas and New Year’s and I get my annual snow, ski, cold and mountain fix all at one time.

Cold without snow is pointless.

"...major [immigration reform] planning session at the House GOP's Maryland retreat..."

That is a quote from the Breitbart article which concerns this thread. Perhaps they will give us the names later.

I'll bet the Senate Dumbocrats still rue the day they prevented this wonderful man from being appointed to a federal judgeship - so he decided to run for the Senate instead.

I once admired her, but now I see her for what she is. WELL HIGH TIME YOU HIT THE 'RESET' BUTTON....YOUNGSTER Only people who can't keep up with her don't like our Princess Ann.

She's the greatest conservative we got goin! Straightforward, honest brutal AND a genius Lib Raker. Graduated Cornell summa and Michigan Univ. Law Review n'...HOLD ON.....authored 8 or maybe 9...yep ....it's 9 alright.... CONSERVATIVE BESTSELLERS. She's been in there forever fightin' tooth and nail against OBAMACARE AND the Immigration Mess. She's been all over the media ...on hannity a boatload of times ... 6 out of 10 of her columns destroyed any possible credibilty the IMMIGRATION movement might have had....

Another thing UNLIKE THE REST OF EVEN THE CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ANN IS COMPLETELY FEARLESS.... WHO BUT Ann made us aware completely of the instances of break ins at Zimmy's condo....and pointed out that the perps were black teens?.....Hannity and Oreilly never did...they SHOULD have delineated EVERY one of them putting each up on the screens of their shows.. in a clear GRAPHIC. A GRAPHIC that never appeared, on ANY Foxnews screen. How is that a 95 lb BRAINY BEAUTY without a research crew could find and report these facts and Fox with it's powerful research arm either did not find them or did not broadcast the graphic.........? Only ANN did that... ONLY ANN!

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-07-10.html

ANN COULTER ROUTINELY INVADES LIBERAL COLLEGE CAMPUSES BRINGING THE LIGHT OF CONSERVATIVISM TO THE WAYWARD SURLY SKULLS FULL OF MUSH THERE. ANN ROUTINELY PLAYS 'WACK A MOLE' WITH THESE MISCREANTS. WHO ELSE PERFORMS BRAVE DEEDS LIKE THIS ROUTINELY...? ANN ONLY ANN....THAT'S RIGHT 95 LB ANN. YOU SEE ANY OTHER CONSERVATIVE THIS BRAVE AND THIS SMART?...HARDLY....AGAIN...ANN ONLY ANN.... MOREOVER

SHE BACKED THE GREAT MITT ROMNEY BECAUSE MITT AND ONLY MITT HAD THE RIGHT STANCE ON THE 2 ISSUES WHICH IF NOT KILLED IN THEIR CRIBS WOULD CHANGE AMERICA FOR EVER PLUNGING IT INTO A DEVASTATING SOCIALIST MESS.. 1. IMMIGRATION ...MITT PROMISED TO DEPORT ILLEGALS AND MAKE EM TURN AROUND AND ENTER THE US LEGALLY UNDER EXTANT IMMIGRATION LAWS...

AND

2. OBAMACARE WHICH HE PLEDGED TO KILL IT TO DEATH IMMEDIATELY..

THE OTHER CANDIDATES EQUIVOCATED ON ONE OR BOTH OF THESE 2....

SHE EXPLAINED THIS LOTS OF TIMES AND LOTS OF PLACES...

IN HER COLUMNS... http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/27/1078321/-Mitt-Romney-If-I-m-the-Godfather-of-Obamacare-I-have-the-right-to-kill-it#

Wish we could link directly to the document at docstoc or somewhere else. I don’t always like to share links to Breitbart, because some consider it biased, kwim? A direct link to the document from Sessions would make it seem more neutral.

The other side has developed their own talking points to refute Jeff Sessions. The points are full of holes, but it is an indication of how threatened they feel.
