Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee, made a statement on immigration this week that is sure to anger the left. He claimed that he would “follow the laws passed by congress.”
Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions told the Senate Tuesday morning that voters believe immigration policy should prioritize the needs of American workers.
Sessions’ remark came when Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin claimed Sessions would not support a “humane” rewrite of the nation’s immigration law. “There’s not a spot of evidence in your career to suggest that as Attorney General you would use the authority of that office to resolve the challenges of our broken immigration system in a fair and humane manner,” Durbin said to Sessions. “Tell me I’m wrong.”
“Well, you are wrong, Senator Durbin,” Sessions replied, adding:
“I’m going to follow the laws passed by Congress. As a matter of policy, we disagreed on some of those issues. I do believe that if you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America. I believe the American people spoke clearly in this election. I believe they agreed with my basic view.”

“It’s a good view, a decent view, a solid legal view for the United States of America that we create a lawful system of immigration that allows people to apply to this country, and if they’re get accepted, they get in. If they’re not accepted, they don’t get it. And I believe that’s right, and just, and the American people are right to ask for it. We have not delivered that for them,” Sessions said.
Only to the Democrats would Sessions’ proclamation to enforce laws be controversial. Perhaps Sessions’ ‘novel’ approach is the reason such firsts as another senator not only opposing his nomination, but testifying against him, such as Cory Booker is preparing to do.
Unlike Obama’s Attorneys General, Sessions doesn’t think his personal views on should interfere with his work as the nation’s top lawyer. It’s a refreshing stance after eight years of liberal activism from the Department of Justice.
