Jeff Sessions, Leading GOP Senate Voice on Immigration, Endorses Trump
The Wall Street Journal ^ | February 28, 2016 | Arian Campo-Flores

Posted on 02/28/2016 10:50:21 PM PST by monkapotamus

The pledge of support from Mr. Sessions, a popular figure among Alabama Republicans, gives Mr. Trump another boost in the state, one of 11 voting this Tuesday, when 595 delegates are at stake...

Mr. Trump appeared to relish the backing of Mr. Sessions, who strongly opposed the failed immigration-reform measure that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio helped craft in 2013...

“We want strong borders!” Mr. Trump yelled to the crowd. “We want the wall!”

This is a huge endorsement for Trump.

More and more people are determining that Trump is absolutely serious about it and will do it.

This type of endorsement, along with Christie and the governor of Maine have to be driving the GOPe batty.

Good.

In fact...it is already law. The 2006 GOP controlled House passed it and it was signed into law...but then never completed.

Trump will complete it...and I will tell you what, the former Mexican President believes Trump is going to do it...LOL...and he was hopping mad about it.

Good!

NO, a boost nationwide among conservatives. Sessions is the gold standard on immigration and trade. Game, set, and match.

I am a Ben Carson supporter who is outraged...

Did you hear anything else about him being bribed with a senate seat to drop out. There was slight mention on FR but otherwise, silence.

A bold move by Mr. Sessions. I applaud him for being among the first. By this time next week the bandwagon will begin to take on more riders as the more savvy GOPe members up for re-election figure out that Trump will have very long coat-tails for those who support his campaign.

The cliff will be steep and the fall will be rapid for those in the GOP who oppose him.

I’m very curious to see how Portman in Ohio handles this. He is in the fight of his life for re-election and he was one of the financiers of the Mississippi racism campaign. My guess is that he will try to remain silent and hope to survive come election day.

Bears repeating!

Senator Sessions added, “I am thrilled today to offer my endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President. This election is our last chance to save U.S. sovereignty and to end the domination of the political establishment over the interests of working Americans. Trump alone has rejected the donor class, defending America’s jobs and wages from open borders, uncontrolled immigration and the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership that will cede U.S. authority to foreign powers. Trump’s trade and immigration plans will revitalize our shrinking middle class, keeping jobs and wealth and income inside the United States of America. Trump understands that a nation must always place the interests of its own people first.”

Senator Sessions continued, “We are nearing fast the point of no return. The people are hurting. Their wages are declining. Their schools are overburdened. Their hospitals are stretched past the breaking point. Crime is up, and community confidence is down. Americans of all backgrounds and ethnicities, immigrant and US-born, are crying out for leadership that puts their needs first, that takes care of those living and dreaming here today, leadership that understands that there is no constituency other than the American constituency. Mr. Trump is that leader.

We are witnessing an incredible movement, arising from the people.

The events of history have aligned to give the people this fleeting chance to bust up the oligarchy – to take back control from the ‘Masters of the Universe’ return it to the good and decent and patriotic citizens of the United States.”

good. this helps me with my dilemna with trump. this should be a signal to trump that sessions should be on his team. sessions brings confidence to conservatives who have no trust in him, alone. he’d make a great vp. with sessions on the ticket, i could vote for trump.

Trump has talked to sessions a number of times for his opinion on immigration, etc. Sessions is still pissed with Rubio and Cruz and their fast track votes.

Jeff Sessions is one of the best that we have in the Senate, one of the few economic and cultural patriots who opposes both the "free trade" racket and open borders.

Sessions would be a great selection for Trump's VP, somebody with legislative experience to counterbalance Trump's lack thereof.

“Trump 49% , Charlatan Cruz 15%

HA HA HA ! Go Trump!

In the following video Senator Jeff Sessions says that Trump will STOP TPP ! TPP is the worst thing ever for America and Cruz was instrumental in getting TPA TPP passed:

This is great video of Sessions endorsing Trump in a rally in Alabama!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ83CvMKYUQ

TPP allows 3rd world countries to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrant workers to take away your job(Trade in “services”). There are almost 4 billion 3rd world people in China and India alone , they’re smarter than you and have tech skills . So vote for Cruz if you want to lose your job

Sweet Home Alabama!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQrbo_i2Zw

I’m In Louisiana but I love Alabama !

TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership or Obamatrade is the worst thing ever for America).”

YES!

Check this link out below. Cruz's TPA TPP obamatrade is really a trojan horse for unlimited immigration of 3rd world immigrants into the USA

Ted Cruz is charlatan, a con man, liar and a traitor. Cruz pushed for TPA which is really TPP or obamatrade. This TPP will allow them to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants:

http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/238574-trade-agreement-is-a-trojan-horse-for-obamas-immigration

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration. It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda.”

And I'm not even going to go into how Ted Cruz voted for the Corker will which gave the green light for Iran to build nuclear weapons which Iran will use to nuke the USA.

Ted Cruz has $100 million plus in donations from rich donors then he hoodwinks the ones he voted to get nuked for additional donations. What does he need an addition to on of his new homes?

The word Evil is not enough to describe Ted Cruz
