Breitbart News quoted Senator Sessions’ response yesterday to the President on immigration: “‘House members need to be on alert: it’s not step-by-step if the individual bills are combined into a comprehensive proposal in a backroom negotiation and delivered to the President’s desk… Instead, the House must insist that enforcement is accomplished before advancing any other immigration bills.’” The story went on to explain: “Obama [in his remarks] did not mention the fact that the Congressional Budget Office determined that comprehensive immigration reform would lower the wages of working class Americans while he touted the economic benefits for big corporations. House Republican leaders have indicated they would not go to conference on the exact Senate bill, and Obamas words indicate passing significant provisions of the Senates bill in a ‘piecemeal’ way may be a way that proponents of immigration reform will attempt to pass the Senate bill without saying they did so in a ‘comprehensive’ manner.” “Sessions also said the Obama administration ‘is in a state of open defiance of federal immigration law’ and House ‘members should tell the President: your immigration bill will dramatically surge permanent low-skill immigration at a time when 91.5 million Americans are outside the labor force… We need to be helping Americans get off of welfare, off of unemployment and into good-paying jobs.’”
