Sessions unloads on California Dems for ‘radical, open borders agenda’ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...nia-dems-for-radical-open-borders-agenda.html Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday unloaded on California Democrats who push a “radical, open borders agenda,” as his Justice Department sued the state over its immigration policies -- warning that there “will be no secession.” Sessions spoke at an event for California law enforcement and a day after the Justice Department announced it was filing a lawsuit against the “sanctuary city” state over three pieces of legislation that it said interferes with federal immigration policy. In his remarks, Sessions noted “worrisome” trends as violent crime increased in 2014 and 2015, particularly a surge in homicide and drug availability. He said that a lawful immigration system was part of tackling such trends. Sessions said that while America admits the highest number of legal immigrants in the world, the American people deserve a legal, rational immigration system that protects the nation and preserves the national interest. “It cannot be the policy of a great nation to reward those who unlawfully enter its country with legal status, Social Security, welfare, food stamps, and work permits and so forth. How can this be a sound policy?” he asked. “Meanwhile, those who engage in this process lawfully and patiently and wait their turn are discriminated against, it seems, at every turn.” Turning to California, he described "open borders" policies that refuse to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants as a “radical, irrational idea that cannot be accepted” and rejected the right of states to obstruct federal immigration law. “There is no nullification. There is no secession,” he said. “Federal law is the supreme law of the land. I would invite any doubters to go to Gettysburg, or to the tombstones of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln." He then tore into Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who tipped off the public to an immigration raid in the San Francisco Bay Area last week -- a move he said led to as many 800 illegal immigrants evading capture and put both residents and law enforcement at risk. “How dare you!” he said, addressing Schaaf. “How dare you needlessly endanger the lives of our law enforcement officers to promote a radical, open borders agenda.” In defending the lawsuit, he accused California lawmakers of passing laws that are not only unconstitutional, but also a “plain violation of federal statute and common sense.” “Importantly, these laws are harmful to Californians, and they’re especially harmful to our law enforcement,” he said. "I did what I believe was right for my community as well as to protect public safety," Schaaf said Friday, according to NBC Bay Area. "People should be able to live without fear or panic and know their rights and responsibilities as well as their recourses." Democrats have pushed back against the Trump administration's crackdown on so-called “sanctuary cities” where officials are ordered not to cooperate with federal authorities. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Wednesday that the lawsuit marked “a new low” from the Trump administration and said the president was abusing the legal system “to push his mass deportation agenda.” (More at above url)
Sure. All those rapists, murderers, whatever else who got away this time. Yeah, whatever, bitch. You got your 15 minutes of fame. Hopefully the rest of the evil lawbreakers everywhere else will move to Oakland!
Paper tiger. Until Governors, Mayors, DA's and top cops start getting arrested for violating federal law, it's all just meaningless gibberish.
Sessions grandstanding for the base in a desperate attempt to save his job. Get back to me when they arrest the Oakland mayor. Until then, I say this is theater, designed to fool the base into thinking something is happening.
Illegal is deported even though he has been here since he was four. Probably not eligible for DACA due to that troublesome little issue of having done prison time. The daughter complains that ICE knew that he had been here for years. What can you say. There is a new sheriff in town. The fact that no one else has thrown you out doesn't make you a legal resident. And as usual, he cranked out some American citizens while he was here, who will all use their citizenship to sponsor more immigrants- unless the law is changed. Note that the title of the article attempts to portray him as a just a regular dad out watering the flowers in his backyard when the brownshirts came. Too bad they did not say WHY he was in prison. http://www.newsweek.com/ice-arrests-father-california-821891
Exactly. When Jerry Brown and that smug fuck AG of his are in cuffs, then we'll be making progress. Both are criminals who present and clear and present danger to national security.
Seriously, some of these illegals are just so fucking dumb they don't deserve to stay here. For example, this dumbass. Doesn't he even know which state to enter? Was he really THAT far from California? Total dumbass. http://abc11.com/harnett-county-child-sex-offender-caught-re-entering-us/3182978/
California has become a modern day slave state using illegals much in the same way the south used black slaves as a means to an end. Paraphrased from Rush Limbaugh, who can be mildly entertaining, occasionally informative, but mostly just likes to irritate leftists. He is however right on the money in his assessment of California. The feds need to come in, using whatever force required, and restore law and order.
