WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Ranking
Member of the Senate Budget Committee and senior member of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, responded today to a WSJ report on the President’s planned
executive amnesty and expansion of foreign worker programs, following the earlier
revelation of a USCIS contract bid for 34 million green cards and work
authorizations:
“The
Wall Street Journal confirmed today that the President is planning to
issue a massive unilateral executive amnesty after the election.
In
its report, the WSJ certifies that this executive amnesty would
provide work permits for illegal immigrants—taking jobs directly from
struggling Americans.
Based
on the USCIS contract bid and statements from USCIS employees, we know this
executive immigration order is likely to be broader in scope than anyone has
imagined.
Earlier
this week, President Obama’s former head of Homeland Security revealed that she
overrode resistance from administration lawyers and law enforcement agents in
implementing the President’s earlier unlawful amnesty and work authorization
program for illegal immigrants 30 and under. This was an open admission by one
of the most senior people in government of violating one’s oath of office in
order to accomplish a nakedly political aim.
The
President is assuming for himself the sole and absolute power to decide who can
enter, work, live, and claim benefits in the United States. He has exempted
virtually every group in the world from America’s immigration laws: people who
enter before a certain age, people related to people who enter before a certain
age, adults traveling with minors, minors traveling with adults, illegal
immigrants who are not convicted of serious crimes, illegal immigrants who are
convicted of serious crimes but not enough serious crimes, almost anyone who
shows up the border and demands asylum, the millions who overstay their visas,
and, as was recently exposed, illegal immigrants with serious criminal
histories. On and on it goes.
A
nation creates borders and laws to protect its own citizens. What about their
needs?
The
President is systemically stripping away the immigration protections to which
every single American worker and their family is entitled. He doesn’t care how
this impacts Americans’ jobs, wages, schools, tax bills, hospitals, police
departments, or communities.
But
it gets worse still. The WSJ reports that the President is ‘expected to
benefit businesses that use large numbers of legal immigrants, such as
technology companies.’ Those changes include measures to massively expand the
number of foreign workers for IT companies—measures aggressively lobbied for by
IT giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. Yet we have more than 11 million
Americans with STEM degrees who don’t have jobs in these fields. Rutgers
professor Hal Salzman documented that two-thirds of all new IT jobs are being
filled by foreign workers. From 2000 through today, a period of record legal
immigration, all net gains in employment among the working-age have gone
entirely to immigrant workers.
And
now, in order to help open borders billionaires, President Obama is going to
deny millions of Americans their shot at entering the middle class and a better
life.
The
world has turned upside down. Instead of serving the interests of the American
people, the policies of President Obama and every Senate Democrat serve the
needs of special interests and global CEOs who fail to understand the duty a
nation owes to its own people. But the citizens of this country still hold the
power, and through their voice, they can turn the country right-side again.”

Obama wants to buy the world a Coke and put
it on our tab. And he wants all of them to move here, so we can support them.
