Monday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to criticize President Barack Obama’s attempt to “unilaterally implement large portions of his congressionally rejected amnesty bill by executive action.”
Sessions explained the “constitutional crisis” the president would cause with his plan “to issue executive orders in direct contradiction of long-established American law that would grant administrative amnesty and work permits to five million, to six million persons that are unlawfully in this country.”
Watch (Part II):
“American people will not be mocked. they have begged and pleaded for our nation’s immigration law to be enforced for 30 or 40 years,” he added. “The politicians have refused, refused, refused, refused. They defeated amnesty after amnesty after amnesty, and they will not sit back and allow the president to implement through unlawful fiat.”
