Sessions Calls Out Big Business for Pushing Amnesty After Laying Off US Workers
Breitbart ^ | 18 Aug 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/19/2014 7:35:06 AM PDT by xzins

Companies that have recently laid off workers are scheming to get President Barack Obama to give them more guest-worker visas by executive action.

After the New York Times reported that Obama is working on crafting executive actions behind closed doors after having met with representatives from "Oracle, Cisco, Fwd.US, Microsoft, Accenture, Compete America, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," which Politico detailed, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) blasted the White House for "actively working against the interests of the American worker."

Sessions mentioned that American politics is at "a crisis point," as companies that "are laying off current employees in droves," are meeting with "senior White House officials" to get guest-workers that will make it tougher for Americans of all backgrounds to find jobs.

"We have communities throughout America that are barely scraping by. Tens of millions of Americans are on welfare, unemployment, and public assistance," Sessions said "Yet the White House and their Senate Majority seem more concerned about large corporations, or the citizens of other countries, than about getting our own citizens back to work into stable jobs that can support a family and uplift a community.”

Obama is reportedly considering granting amnesty and work permits to millions of illegals for them to work in any (job). In addition, he may grant more guest-worker visas to high-tech firms--even though there is a surplus of American high-tech workers--and low-skilled industries, even though Americans at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder are having trouble finding jobs, which Americans supposedly will not do.

A recent Center for Immigration Studies report found that in "all 472 occupations as defined by the Department of Commerce," there were only six "majority immigrant (legal and illegal)" occupations, which means Americans were employed in the low-skilled jobs that pro-amnesty advocates say they will not do.

Even though the VP has to meet eligibility, it would take the issue off the table as something that voters cared about. The 'pub response to any questioning would be that they must be afraid to run against Sessions qualification and record, so there using a distraction.

Think it through. Sessions is the real face of change....to a candidate with respect and postive life experience.

The resulting gridlock prevents increased enforcement and the status quo continues which is what they want.

I agree with you. Although, if they could write the amnesty bill, I'm sure they'd go along with that.

I love Sessions!

Having no ambition for the White House leaves him free to do his homework and speak it. A sincere man, without calculation.

Who IS the Chamber of Commerce today, and who highjacked it?

Shop keepers, small business and local industries have been big footed by Soros, as is my best bet, given the odd, new found clout they exhibit.

The Chamber, historically, was hardly hanging with Marxists until just lately.

The American worker as a whole is too uninformed to understand any of this.

Sessions would be conservatives’ best bet for 2016, as I assume Cruz won’t run. Certainly no Rand for me

The Dems and RINO’s are an evil cabal actively working against the American people. Simple as that.

Sessions is sure the lonely voice crying in the wilderness. We have a saying down here in Alabama “ Let’s nuke D.C. just make sure Sessions is safely home in Alabama”. He is so beloved here that he is running totally unopposed.

“Having no ambition for the White House leaves him free to do his homework and speak it. A sincere man, without calculation.”

Which, ironically, makes him perfect for the job. This is very much like the qualifications for a Pope. #1 requirement: You don’t want to be the Pope.

As soon as those illegals get amnesty, they will be legally eligible for TANF, foodstamps, EBT, Section 8, SCHIP, Medicaid, and Obamacare subsidies. They already get many of these benefits through illegal means and social workers looking the other way right now.

What is really funny is Dem’s attacked Meg Whitman in her bid for Gov for doing the exact thing that Obama is doing.
