Dateline Spring 2013: Chuck Schumer and the Chamber of Commerce had colluded to pass an immigration amnesty bill to enrich multinational corporations at the expense of American workers and eventually increase the number of Democrat voters to win future elections. They’d spent years setting it all up and thought the timing was ripe to ram it down the American people’s throats.
In the United States Senate, it seemed inevitable this “comprehensive immigration reform” bill would pass. The powers that be had built a mighty coalition that included both big business and big labor. The coalition had talking points that sounded like “Sweet Caroline” – So Good! So Good! The legislation seemed like an unstoppable train, so no one was even trying to stop it.
Then came along this one man.
This man recognized the collusion that had gone on at the expense of the American people. He didn’t think it was right. He took it upon himself to do something about it. He did it. He stopped the crazy train by systematically pointing out dishonesty day after day, week after week.
His name is Jeff Sessions, by the way.
I had the privilege to be working for Jeff at the time, and witnessed in person his energy, attention to detail, determination, and most importantly, his commitment to the truth. It was truly a sight to see. In conversations, whether with staff or with the media, Jeff would frequently pause and ponder before replying, always giving a thoughtful response.
That’s how he operates, and we need more of it. Don’t let that Southern accent fool you about Jeff. That’s just a stereotype the left uses to try and discredit southerners who have different views about where our country should be headed. It’s a lazy tactic that should be entirely discredited.
Flash forward to 2015: The “Masters of the Universe,” as Jeff called them, were at it again. This time they were pushing a massive, unfair trade deal they cleverly titled the “Trans-Pacific Partnership.” The “deal” was sold to the American people as somehow protecting the United States against China, but no compelling case was ever made.
In truth, the “deal” had all the hallmarks of, as Senator Sessions said, a “nascent European Union.”
How has the European Union turned out? Would we want to replicate that?
So again, this man in the Senate felt a responsibility for his constituents and his country to make the case against a global trade deal he did not believe would benefit America.
Establishment Republicans and Democrats wanted this deal passed. They wanted it over and done with, and fast. But Jeff didn’t let it happen.
Instead, he went deep down into the bowels of the Capitol where the secretly crafted legislation was being hidden and he studied it. He learned there were deeply troubling elements to it, including risks to American sovereignty.
So, what did he do? Nothing? Like most politicians?
No. He did the exact opposite. Like he always does, he recognized a critical moment where the American people needed to be defended.
He demanded all the details from his staff, and then he went to the Senate floor day after day and eventually destroyed that anti-American trade bill. I was there with him at the time and at least from the Republican side, I’d say he did it single-handedly, with media coverage from patriotic outlets like Breitbart.
2019 Perspective: One man, Jeff Sessions, with the courage of his convictions, pretty much single-handedly took down the two most massive globalist pieces of legislation we’ve faced in the past decade. For that alone we owe him a debt of gratitude .
We need him back in the Senate, though, too. Lord knows we need him back. We need to ask even more from him. Honesty, integrity, sincerity, diligence, experience, intelligence, they are rare to be embodied in one person. Congress needs them. America needs them.
And if current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s concern is about helping the American people and not just about donors and partisan politics, and if he even keeps his job, surely he will respect Jeff’s seniority so Jeff can use his experience to benefit the American people. Right, Mitch?
Without a doubt, Senator Sessions pointed the way to keep marching forward. He prevented harm to our country, he helped President Trump get into the White House, and he can play an historic role in continuing American greatness.
God bless Jeff Sessions.

TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION POLICY IS
ONLY ONE MORE SCAM!
Trump won the presidency by promising to restore the rule of
immigration law after decades of bipartisan neglect. Sessions, serving as a
senator from Alabama in 2016, was uniquely positioned to do so. No politician
had devoted as much time to documenting the corrosive effects of low-skilled
mass immigration on the country’s working class. Sessions was a nationalist
long before Trump came on the scene. He knew the myriad tactics through which
the nation’s career bureaucrats and immigration advocates had abetted mass
illegal entry and set out to block them. As attorney general, he used every
lawful tool available to his office to fight the sanctuary-city movement,
whereby local jurisdictions openly defy the federal government’s efforts to
protect the public from illegal-alien criminals. HEATHER MAC DONALD – CITY JOURNAL

17 Nov 2019Washington, D.C.
Former U.S. Attorney General and former Sen.
Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who is again running for his old seat in the U.S. Senate
in Alabama, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview last week that
Republicans can dominate electorally for generations if they stick to what
President Donald Trump campaigned on in 2016 when it comes to immigration and
trade.
“I’m going to push the Republican Senate conference hard,”
Sessions said when it comes to immigration, should he win back his old seat in
Alabama. “And I’m going to push the House Conference. The American
people want a lawful system of immigration. They want to protect the national
interest of the United States. They’re not globalists. They want us to
protect American manufacturing interests against global trade competition.
China is the worst offender. We have this monumental trade deficit with China.
So, also, the world is always wanting the United States to join some
organization in which other people get to vote on what should happen around the
world, and then we’re expected to support what they vote for. This is why the
Brits want to Brexit, and to get out of the E.U. because the E.U. has taken
over their sovereignty.”
“We need to protect our sovereignty.” Sessions continued. “We
are a nation state, not an idea. We had leaders in the Republican Party say we
are not a nation state, and that we are an idea—this is ridiculous. We have got
a constitution, we have got a border, we have got a history that’s ours, a
legal system that’s ours, a political system that’s ours—it works. To
jeopardize this all is ridiculous. I’m not saying 500 years from now there
won’t be—there will be changes I’m sure. But right now we need to defend our
sovereign interest.”
“Where does power lie?” Sessions said. “It ultimately lies with
the American people. The American people support those ideas—and they are
Donald Trump’s ideas. If we will clarify, we will welcome the people’s ideas,
and advance them, and expose the Democrats as the party that’s trying to block
it then we have an opportunity to lead the country for the next two
generations—for the next 20 years. But there’s been some diminishing in my
view. You’ve got 24-hour news channels, you’ve got Breitbart, you’ve got a
series of multiple sources from where people get information. But they’re on
our side, and we need to show them we respect them and do what they’re saying
is right and that we’re going to get it done.”
Before Sessions joined Trump’s administration at the outset as
his Attorney General, he spent 20 years in the U.S. Senate fighting for this
vision on immigration. Sessions fought efforts by both political parties to jam
amnesty down America’s throat, thwarting multiple major political class
attempts at amnesty for illegal aliens in 2006, 2007, and 2013, and stopping
many other smaller ones along the way. He was also
instrumental in helping positive reforms on immigration, such as pushing for
the Secure Fence Act which helped build the first border barriers and laying
out a vision for the GOP on the issue over the years.
“My election will say something about that because I’ll be front
and center,” Sessions said. “Polling data shows that substantially immigration
is significantly the biggest issue in Alabama. And I think it’s an issue for
just average American working people, and they’re not happy that we haven’t
delivered. So if I were able to return to the Senate, we’re going to push this
issue.”
Sessions was known in the U.S. Senate as the force who held the
line on immigration, ensuring that border security, enforcement, and American
workers’ interests were front and center as other senators had other priorities
during immigration negotiations. He discussed this
history in his exclusive in-person interview with Breitbart News in Washington,
DC, late last week.
“Just to give a little example, I remember when we blocked the
first amnesty bill back in 2006 or 2007,” Sessions told Breitbart News. “So we
worked and got a bill passed that would have built 700 miles of fencing, which
would have been a tremendous step forward. And then when the bill came out to
fund the government, it had no money for the fence. So I pointed out that
people went home and bragged about voting to build a fence, but they didn’t put
any money in it. It was a sham, and it was dishonest and unacceptable. They did
go back and we passed it, money for it, but it allowed them too many loopholes
in it—vehicle barriers were counted as fencing—and we didn’t end up with nearly
as much progress as we should have made. With somebody in there watching and
pushing for this, things would be different. Congress has proven it waffles on
it, and does not follow through and close the loop.”
Sessions has proven throughout his history both in the U.S.
Senate and his multiple stints at the Justice Department, first as U.S.
Attorney and later as Attorney General, that this issue is his highest
priority, and he has a track record of winning on immigration against all
odds. The biggest amnesty push that Sessions nearly single-handedly
thwarted was in 2013, in the wake of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney’s terrible performance against now former President Barack Obama during
Obama’s 2012 re-election. Romney, now a U.S. Senator from Utah, had lost so
many states in that election that many Republicans thought the only pathway
back to legitimacy with the voters was a wide-scale amnesty. Sessions fought
it, hard, and was for a time the loneliest voice on the floor of the U.S.
Senate. Despite more memorable filibusters that year from Sens. Rand Paul
(R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), it was Sessions who actually spent more time
speaking on the U.S. Senate floor in 2013—systemically in multi-hour chunks
making the case from the minority of the minority party in the U.S. Senate
against what he considered a great betrayal of American workers.
It worked: While the amnesty passed the Democrat-controlled U.S.
Senate, Sessions had slowed it significantly enough that enough Republicans in
the House majority questioned whether it was the right pathway forward. Despite
some efforts by some in GOP leadership—among others, now former House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor tried to get it moving, but it cost him his seat in a
primary he lost to now former Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA)—the Republicans heeded
Sessions’ dire warnings and let the Senate-passed amnesty that Obama would have
signed into law fade off into irrelevance. Political consultants screamed that
it cost the GOP dearly for doing that, but it didn’t: Republicans took the
majority in the U.S. Senate in 2014, and then in 2016 in a whirlwind of a
campaign against the same pro-amnesty globalist forces that pushed this amnesty
Donald Trump first won the GOP nomination and then the White House.
“The American people have been stiffed for years,” Sessions told
Breitbart News. “People have been running for years saying they’re going to fix
immigration. When the chips are down, they don’t weigh in, they don’t take
strong stands and we ended up not doing much. President Trump is doing
everything he and the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice
can do but there are loopholes—and some funding has got to be passed. Congress
has not stepped up to the plate and we have not made the progress I would have
hoped. The last few months, the numbers have looked better finally but it’s
not—it’s just not fair to the Border Patrol officers to leave them so subjected
to loopholes and lack of funding and support. So I blame Congress for not being
supportive enough—and they need to be pushed and they can’t just be holding
their hands out to big business and pretending to the voters that they’re going
to do something. That’s basically what’s happened.”
Sessions was, as he points out in
his first round of campaign ads for his 2020 U.S. Senate campaign, the first
U.S. Senator to stand side-by-side with Trump and endorse the now president.
Part of the reason why Sessions endorsed Trump in early 2016 at a rally in
Madison, Alabama, from which Breitbart News made a live report , is because Trump tapped into that same distrust the American
people have for political elites who have screwed over American workers on
immigration time and time again. In particular, Trump’s pledge to build a wall
along the U.S. border with Mexico was something that Sessions said demonstrated
the public’s dissatisfaction with Washington. Sure, Trump intended to build an
actual wall which he is doing now, but it was much more than that too: It was
about highlighting the fact that the career politicians in both parties failed
to deliver for Americans on immigration enforcement and border security.
“Yes he did. He raised it clearly and directly,” Sessions said
of Trump’s 2016 campaign pledge to build a wall. “The building of the wall is
important in itself but it also was his way of saying ‘I’m serious about this,
you have been hearing promises before that they didn’t deliver on, I’m going to
deliver, I’m going to make this happen.’ He has fought hard for it, but golly
the courts have been a nightmare and Congress whenever the chips are down has
failed to deliver in my view. There’s not a strong enough advocate even within
the Republican conference about it. I think most people are for it, but they
just haven’t pushed it hard enough. I have some theories about how we can
highlight the issue. It’s just going to have to be brought up and people are
going to have to choose. Are you for open borders and are you for sanctuary
cities? Or are you going to say enough is enough and we’re going to back the
president and fix it? We’re not saying we won’t have immigrants. Of course.
We’re not going to end all immigration, but this illegality is a great
embarrassment to any nation that wants to be respected in the world it seems to
me.”
The relationship between Trump and Sessions later soured when
Sessions as Attorney General recused himself from the Russia case. Sessions has
said in multiple interviews he has no regrets, but Trump has expressed
frustration with him over it. Nonetheless, Trump has also said he does not plan
to intervene against Sessions in Alabama. Despite this tension that still
exists between them over that decision as Attorney General, one of the biggest
under-told stories about Sessions’ tenure in the job is all the actions
Sessions took as Attorney General to help implement President Trump’s
immigration vision from the Department of Justice. That story, which Sessions
told to Breitbart News in this exclusive interview, could be an even more
critical point in the case Sessions is making about immigration to retake the
U.S. Senate seat he gave up, which now Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) won in a 2017
special election fraught with peril over the personal life of former Alabama
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.
In other words, if Sessions can help
get the Republican Party refocused back on the issues that win for the party,
in particular immigration—as evidenced by 2014, 2016, and other major GOP
winning years—and to turn the page away from the politics of personality, he
could significantly help the GOP nationally heading into the 2020
elections and beyond to build that generations-long electoral dominance he
speaks of for the GOP. With recent electoral setbacks for Republicans
throughout the South, including in Louisiana’s and Kentucky’s governor’s races
as well as for this particular seat where Democrat Jones currently sits, it’s likely
even despite Sessions’ rough patches with Trump that the GOP will again heed
his dire warnings on this and other issues just like they did in the past. In
fact, Sessions already has a dozen Republican U.S. Senators standing at his side having endorsed his campaign, and top
conservative movement leaders are rushing to his side to help facilitate the
return of the man who was fighting for an America-first vision as that lonely
voice on the floor of the U.S. Senate long before there even was a Trump
candidacy, never mind presidency.
But first Sessions has to win his
own primary, in which he is polling ahead
of everyone else upon his entrance into the race, and tell this story of what
the GOP needs to do on immigration. The way he does that is talk about what he
did in the Senate before, and what he did at the Department of Justice on this
issue, as he did in this exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
“We sent additional prosecutors to the border offices,” Sessions
said of his time as Attorney General. “We told Homeland Security that we will
prosecute every case you bring to us—‘I will find the prosecutors,’ and I found
them. We went up over 50 percent of the people who—we increased substantially
the prosecutions of illegal entrants. Enforcement is the Homeland Security,
Border Patrol and the ICE officers, but you don’t need them bringing cases and
the U.S. Attorneys not be willing to prosecute. We doubled the number of
immigration judges that are on the border or throughout the country to hear
these cases. I issued a series of opinions. It’s just like administrative law
judges in other agencies at like Department of Labor and others, these
immigration judges are Department of Justice employees.”
“Homeland Security brings the cases and defends them, and then
the immigration judges decide the cases.” Sessions continued. “We got a lot of
new judges, a lot of good ones, we replaced a lot that had retired, but they
had some bad opinions out there. One of the opinions that had been established
out there were things like if you had been subject to spousal abuse in Brazil
that would be a basis to ask for asylum in the United States. That’s absurd.
Brazil is a huge country. If somebody was subject to spousal abuse in Chicago,
they’re not entitled to be admitted to Liechtenstein. Go to Atlanta or go to
Seattle. They don’t have to demand entry to another country. So this is just an
example of the idiocy of much of what was happened. I reversed that. We
reversed a series of those kinds of cases so that our officers can decline an
unjustified asylum.”
Sessions also noted that he, as Attorney General, defended the
president’s travel ban order, a case the Department of Justice eventually won
when it reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
“We defended the president’s travel order,” Sessions said. “We
are litigating aggressively against sanctuary cities. A lot of people accused
us of not winning but they were able to file cases in favorable jurisdictions
and get initial rulings winning but we’re reversing a lot of those cases. The
big one, the initial one, the travel ban it was called, they [the Supreme
Court] gave an emergency order allowing 90 percent of it to be in effect. It’s
in effect right now. We lost that in district court. Sally Yates, who was for
less than a week Acting Attorney General, refused to defend that. We got her
terminated and defended the president’s orders.”
