    Senator ridicules Obama for not signing amnesty order

    'It's a stunning event'



    WASHINGTON – Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a leading opponent of President Obama’s move to provide amnesty for up to 5 million illegal immigrants, expressed astonishment Monday and ridiculed the administration for not carrying out the action through an executive order.

    In remarks made at the Washington office of the government-watchdog group Judicial Watch, Sessions said: “I guess they just whispered in the ear of (DHS Director) Jeh Johnson over at Homeland Security, ‘Just put out a memo. That way we don’t have to enforce the law.’”

    The news that Obama had not signed an executive order to carry out the policy he announced to the nation in a televised address Nov. 20 was broken by WND Senior Staff Writer Jerome Corsi last week.

    As a result of the president’s use of a memo instead of an official order, the senator observed: “We don’t even have a really significant, direct, legal direction that we can ascertain, precisely what the president is doing. It’s a stunning event in my view.”

    The senator believes the result was “the creation of a new, alternative immigration system” despite the fact the president “is not empowered to do that.”

    Sessions noted the president had publicly acknowledged more than 20 times in recent years that he did not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally implement amnesty. As the senator read excerpts of Obama’s own words, members of the audience laughed aloud at how much those words differed from the president’s actions.

    The president should simply uphold the Constitution as it is, Sessions said, “not as he wishes it would be.”

    Sessions, who was a U.S. attorney for 12 years and Alabama attorney general for two years, said it was clear the Constitution gives Congress powers over naturalization law.

    He called Obama’s amnesty a scheme Congress had explicitly rejected after multiple efforts.

    “The House said no, and the American people said no. Congress said no, and the president has gone forward.”

    Despite that, Sessions observed, powerful forces wanted amnesty.

    “I mean, the president wanted that, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, wanted that, some Republicans wanted that, business groups wanted that, La Raza wanted that, ACLU, all these people wanted it,” he said.

    But the American people did not, said the senator, which is why Congress had decided to limit the number of people who can enter the country to live and work.

    The senator dropped a bombshell last week when he revealed he had learned the Obama administration is opening a facility in Crystal City, Virginia, to implement the president’s amnesty plan.

    Sessions discovered the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS, is hiring 1,000 full-time and permanent staff members to quickly approve illegal immigrants’ applications for amnesty.

    Sessions also learned the administration will provide work permits, photo IDs, Social Security and Medicare to illegal immigrants.

    He noted that all of those benefits for illegal immigrants had been rejected by Congress.

    The Obama administration had initially indicated illegal immigrants would not be eligible for Social Security benefits, but officials were forced to admit the plans after Sessions revealed them.

    On Monday, Sessions repeated his call to House leaders to add language into the pending omnibus spending bill blocking funds for executive amnesty. House leaders have resisted the effort by GOP conservatives.

    He said the most effective tool is public opinion, and he asked voters to make clear to their elected representatives how much they oppose amnesty.

    “We’ve got a challenge, but I think the American people get it. I think they are going to insist their voice will be heard,” predicted Sessions.

    Sessions said it was known that government officials held some 20 meetings with business stakeholders hoping for amnesty, adding, “You know who’s not a stakeholder? You. John Q. Public.”

    Sessions was introduced by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, whose organization has broken numerous big developments in administration scandals involving the IRS, Benghazi, Obamacare and Fast and Furious gunrunning, as well as immigration.

    Just last week, Judicial Watch Director of Investigations Chris Farrell told WND a government assertion that no terrorists had crossed the southern border into the country was “simply false” and provided details to the contrary.

    In his introduction, Fitton noted the public doesn’t want amnesty, “but leaders of both parties do.”

    He reminded listeners how Judicial Watch had published “story after story” exposing the Obama amnesty agenda and its inherent dangers.

    Most pointedly, Fitton observed that amnesty was not about illegal aliens, it was about the illegal alien vote, and “the illegal alien vote is about stealing elections.”

    He referred to a study he said showed that enough illegals voted in 2014 to give Obama a margin of victory in his re-election campaign. Illegals also provided enough votes to elect the 60th Democrat senator needed to pass Obamacare in the face of GOP opposition.

    Jeff Sessions: Illegals Could Receive Thousands from Feds Without Paying Income Taxes

    by Tony Lee 8 Dec 2014, 3:28 PM PDT

    On Monday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) warned that illegal immigrants may receive thousands of dollars from the federal government without paying income taxes after President Barack Obama's "post-modern" executive amnesty is enacted.

    Speaking at a Judicial Watch event, Sessions, who has said that Obama wants his executive amnesty and "alternative immigration system" implemented before Americans discover the consequences, mentioned that after illegal immigrants receive Social Security numbers and work permits under Obama's executive amnesty, they could be eligible for a $1,000 tax credit per child in addition to an average $2,600 Earned Income Tax Credit payment. That means that some illegal immigrants, if they have multiple children, could receive nearly $5,000 from the federal government without paying any income taxes.

    Sessions said Obama's "breathtaking" lawless executive amnesty is "bigger than just immigration" because it threatens to delegitimize the country's institutions. Sessions said that Obama's executive amnesty will cause a "corrosive effect" because more people will "lose confidence in government" and the legal system that is supposed to be "just" and "fair."

    He said Obama and his pro-amnesty allies are living in a "post-modern world" where laws and parts of the Constitution can just be reinterpreted to "make it say what you want it to say."

    Sessions, who is calling on lawmakers in Congress to prohibit federal funds from being spent to implement Obama's executive amnesty, said there is "great trepidation" that Obama is creating an "alternative" and "entirely new" immigration system that he does not have the power to create. He said the Framers would be "horrified" by Obama's executive amnesty.

    Even worse, according to Sessions, is that in Obama's alternative immigration system, American workers, immigration enforcement officials, and "John Q. Public" are not stakeholders while pro-amnesty interests groups who were invited to numerous White House meetings are.

    Sessions said that "doing things on their own is very tempting not just on immigration," but "that's not how our democracy works."
