Today on the Lou Dobbs Newshour (CNN), Senator Sessions who has been
the eyes and
ears and champion of the American people over the past months regarding
Senate Bill
2611 has now stepped up with the results of his research on the
Pence-Hutchison
compromise Bill.   In addition, included are comments he made regarding
immigration
to this country in general and how it should be fixed.


Regarding the Pence-Hutchison compromise Bill:


"This bill will allow for a virtually unlimited number of immigrants to
come into the
United States."


"The Bill favors low-skilled workers."


"It provides for preference to the eight NAFTA and CAFTA countries over
the rest of
the world."


"The Bill gives no preference for English language or employment skills
that help
make immigrants successful in our economy."


Further statement of Senator Sessions:


"We need a comprehensive reform.  I really believe that we need to
throw out this
system and develop a new system of immigration that serves America's
national
interest as a nation and that includes accepting people who have higher
skills; it
includes allowing people to apply and wait in line based on merit.  We
are not doing
that.  It should reject something like this plan and almost every other
plan that
says it allows temporary workers that get to bring their families, get
to extend,
extend, extend 12 - 15 - 17 years.  By then nobody can ask those people
to leave --
their children will be in high school and college.  We need to be
realistic and
establish a new plan for the future that we can enforce, as well as
enforcing the
border and we need a good workplace enforcement with a biometric
identifier so that
people can't commit fraud.   As we work the border we need to have an
honest and fair
system of who should be admitted.


I think we can make it work.  Right now we are a long way away from
that."


"The American people have been arrogantly ignored."
Senator Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama
