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 Reply ยป Rate this post:
