As Republicans work to overcome a Democratic filibuster of a House-passed Department of Homeland Security bill that blocks President Barack Obamas executive amnesty, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is highlighting the Obama administrations long history of dismantling immigration laws.
In a lengthy timeline released Monday, Sessions the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest lists every instance of the Obama administration ignoring, rewriting, delaying and breaking the nations immigration laws.
The timeline begins in January 2009 with the administration ending worksite enforcement actions and, 50 pages later, ends on February 13, 2015 with the House Judiciary Committees revelation that the administration included a sneaky avenue for illegal immigrants granted deferred status to be placed on a pathway to citizenship.

The Cheap Labor Express has paid the GOP millions, if not billions, for amnesty.
That’s why we have only been allowed to vote for pro-amnesty candidates for President for the past 4 elections.
That’s why there has been no effective pushback from Congress.
Thank God for true patriots like Sen. Sessions or we would have already lost our country.
A Nation that does not protect it's borders and has no formal means of processing immigrants, is not a Nation.
The melting pot has become nothing more than a disgusting brown-ish bowl of gruel, created through the fermenting of third world tumbleweeds and seasoned with a hearty dose of Government Entitlements, Anti-White Hate, Envy and Bigotry.
Now all you good God fearing Patriotic Red White and Blue Americans better sit down shut up and eat it!
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
[but he's not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
” There is a big difference between a state or locality saying they are not going to use their resources to enforce a federal law, as so-called sanctuary cities have done, and a state passing its own immigration policy that actively interferes with federal law. “
Great, so O’bastard will have no problem with states refusing to enforce federal gun laws?
God bless you Sen. Jeff Sessions, now arrest Oblackness and throw away the key.

“Sen. Sessions responds to the Texas court’s temporary stay of executive amnesty, and underscores the urgent need for Congress to block funding for its implementation:
The courts ruling is yet further affirmation that the Presidents action as the President himself admitted many times is illegal. President Obama has suspended some 500 pages of existing immigration law passed by the representatives of the American people, and replaced it with the very measures those representatives have repeatedly rejected. The Presidents action violates our laws, our Constitution, and the centuries of legal heritage that yielded our Republic.
Congress, so threatened, can never acquiesce to this action by funding it. The President has acted unconstitutionally, and it is the President not Congress who must back down. We are a coequal branch of government, delegated with the powers necessary to defend our institution and our Constitutional role. We cannot and must not establish the precedent that we will fund illegal actions on the hope that another branch of government will intervene and strike down that illegal action at some later point. To establish such a precedent would be to empower any future President to demand Congress fund any unlawful decree, and then assert that Congress is shutting down the government unless this illegal, off-the-books program is funded. Congress must reassert its waning power. We must reestablish the Constitutional principle that the peoples representatives control the purse.
This ruling is not an escape hatch for Democrat lawmakers who have been filibustering the House bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and block illegal amnesty. Congress cannot fund the very action which dissolves Congress lawmaking powers. Rather, todays ruling should furnish our colleagues with yet one more reason to end their filibuster. President Obama has already shut down the Department of Homeland Security by ordering tens of thousands of immigration officers and agents to violate our laws and their oaths, sabotaging immigration enforcement and border control. Republicans are trying every day to restore Homeland Security only a Democrat filibuster stands in the way.”
