SESSIONS: PRESIDENT’S PROGRAM TO RECRUIT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOR MILITARY WILL ‘DIRECTLY DISPLACE’ U.S. SERVICEMEMBERS DURING TIME OF MILITARY LAYOFFS


WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a statement today concerning the President’s new effort to recruit illegal immigrants and visa overstays into the U.S. military. Sessions also detailed the actions the President should be taking, instead of pursuing an illegal executive amnesty:

“With an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis raging, the President announces not enforcement actions to reduce illegality, but yet one more in an endless series of executive actions to further undermine immigration law. Once more, he has taken unilateral executive action that signals to the world that our borders are not being enforced.

The President is launching a new effort to recruit illegal immigrants and visa overstays for the military at a time when thousands of career military personnel are facing layoffs—meaning that the President’s recruitment program will directly displace American military personnel. Military service is a high calling, and a noble career, and is most certainly not a job Americans won’t do.

The President has further pledged that, following the midterm elections, he will issue a sweeping executive amnesty for 5–6 million illegal immigrants and visa overstays. This executive amnesty will include work authorization, taking precious jobs directly from American workers at a time when 28.9 million Americans in their prime working years (25–54) don’t have a job.

In our economy, like our military, we have a shortage of jobs—not a shortage of workers.

Instead of circumventing the law to eliminate our immigration controls, any President who cares about the rule of law would instead be taking lawful, constitutional executive actions to restore those laws and end the illegality. Here are just a few of the concrete, lawful steps the President is duty-bound to undertake:

• Complete the border fence that Congress has previously passed into law;
• Create the exit-entry system to track foreign visa-holders, which Congress has repeatedly mandated;
• Cancel visas to any country that won’t take back its own citizens;
• Stop the improper issuance of billions of dollars in child tax credits to illegal immigrants,
• Enforce the currently un-enforced public charge rule for immigrants to the U.S., both legal and illegal;
• Crack down on abuse of the H-1B guest worker program that is displacing U.S. workers;
• Increase, don’t reduce, prosecutions under the proven Operation Streamline;
• Instead of suing states that are trying to enforce the law, target sanctuary cities that are defying the law; and
• Cancel all meetings with pro-amnesty groups to plot executive amnesty, and instead meet with Chris Crane, Ken Palinkas, and Chris Cabrera (of ICE, USCIS, and Border Patrol). Instead of ordering them not to do their jobs, sit down with them ask what they need to end the lawlessness and restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system.”

Jeff Sessions: Obama Displacing American Military Personnel by Allowing Some Illegals to Serve

On Friday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) slammed President Barack Obama for enacting an executive action on Thursday to allow some illegal immigrants to serve in the military, which Sessions said would take away opportunities from Americans who want to serve.

Sessions said that Obama is "launching a new effort to recruit illegal immigrants and visa overstays for the military at a time when thousands of career military personnel are facing layoffs—meaning that the President’s recruitment program will directly displace American military personnel."

"Military service is a high calling, and a noble career, and is most certainly not a job Americans won’t do," Sessions said in a statement

Sessions, who has been the foremost champion of American workers in Congress during the amnesty debate, said that "in our economy, like our military, we have a shortage of jobs—not a shortage of workers." As Military.com noted, "the class of 2014 now leaving high school will face more difficulty qualifying for the armed services than ever in the 40-year history of the all-volunteer force" because of "belt-tightening" and force reductions.
“With an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis raging, the President announces not enforcement actions to reduce illegality, but yet one more in an endless series of executive actions to further undermine immigration law," Sessions continued. "Once more, he has taken unilateral executive action that signals to the world that our borders are not being enforced."

Sessions also warned that Obama's promised executive action "by the end of the holiday season" will include work permits for illegal immigrants that will take "precious jobs directly from American workers at a time when 28.9 million Americans in their prime working years (25–54) don’t have a job."

Sessions said that "instead of circumventing the law to eliminate our immigration controls, any President who cares about the rule of law would instead be taking lawful, constitutional executive actions to restore those laws and end the illegality." Sessions recommended some actions such a president can take:

*Complete the border fence that Congress has previously passed into law
*Create the exit-entry system to track foreign visa-holders, which Congress has repeatedly mandated
*Cancel visas to any country that won’t take back its own citizens
*Stop the improper issuance of billions of dollars in child tax credits to illegal immigrants
*Enforce the currently un-enforced public charge rule for immigrants to the U.S., both legal and illegal
*Crack down on abuse of the H-1B guest worker program that is displacing U.S. workers
*Increase, don’t reduce, prosecutions under the proven Operation Streamline
*Instead of suing states that are trying to enforce the law, target sanctuary cities that are defying the law
*Cancel all meetings with pro-amnesty groups to plot executive amnesty, and instead meet with Chris Crane, Ken Palinkas, and Chris Cabrera (of ICE, USCIS, and Border Patrol). Instead of ordering them not to do their jobs, sit down with them ask what they need to end the lawlessness and restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system.

Some of our military officers are being removed from the service, as part of a force reduction. If 'Bama had even minimum integrity, he would have assigned some of them to attend the Defense Language Institure in Monterey, where they could have aquired the language skills that supposedly justify hiring illegals - including visa overstayers. But our commander in chief doesn't care any more about protecting the jobs of our military officers than he cares about protecting the jobs of ordinary Americans. At a time when the middle class is being decimated and more and more Americans are forced to take food stamps, 'Bama is a disgrace to the American dream.

Fair trade, not free trade

And further degrade, demoralize, defame, and bastardize an already Frankenstein social experiment.

There IS no 'justification' whatsoever. It does not compute into military readiness. It is a Socialist tactic to destroy our country.

Very easy pickings for the Chinese and Russians in a 'real' ground war.
