Senator Jeff Sessions: Time to re-think our LEGAL immigration system
Senator Jeff Sessions (R) Alabama
Yes! It is way past time!
Any of you reading this and still saying to anyone who will listen that “illegal immigration is bad, but legal is good,” please stop saying it because it shows you don’t know what you are talking about!
Our LEGAL immigration policies and programs are a disaster and this week’s Chattanooga slaughter should be a wake-up call to every sane citizen.
Thank God, Senator Jeff Sessions is now saying what we have been saying for years!
His piece entitled, Homegrown Terrorism ‘Made Possible by Unwise Immigration Policy’, is posted here at the Weekly Standard. After listing myriad cases of terrorism perpetrated by LEGAL refugees and immigrants he wraps up with this:
It is time to affirm some fundamental but forgotten principles that will enhance not only our security but also our social and economic well-being:
· We are under no obligation to admit anyone to the United States.
· The selection of new immigrants to the United States should be based on what’s in the best interests of the people already living inside the United States.
· Immigrants selected for admission should be expected to be financially self-sufficient and chosen because they are likely to succeed, thrive, and flourish in the United States.
· Assimilation is the best policy to ensure both the success of our country and the success of those who arrive in our country. We do both the country and those seeking to enter our country a disservice by failing to promote our language, our laws, and our political customs.
Call Senator Sessions and urge him to hold hearings on the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program with an eye to throwing it out altogether.
He is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, here. I see Senator Ted Cruz is on this subcommittee, tell him he needs to get on this issue ASAP if he wants your support in his 2016 run for the Presidency.
