Senator Jeff Sessions responds to President Obama's executive amnesty speech:

"President Obama’s executive amnesty violates the laws Congress has passed in order to create and implement laws Congress has refused to pass. The President is providing an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants with social security numbers, photo IDs and work permits—allowing them to now take jobs directly from struggling Americans during a time of record immigration, low wages, and high joblessness.

"This amnesty plan was rejected by the American people’s Congress. By refusing to carry out the laws of the United States in order to make his own, the President is endangering our entire Constitutional order.

"The President’s plan will apparently also allow many illegal immigrants to receive green cards and become legal permanent residents—meaning they can access almost all U.S. welfare programs, have lifetime work authorization, obtain citizenship, and sponsor foreign relatives to join them in the U.S.

"Law enforcement has warned this unprecedented amnesty will unleash a ‘tidal wave’ of new illegal immigration flooding into American neighborhoods at taxpayers’ expense.

"The President’s plan also calls for boosting foreign worker programs for IT companies that experts tell us displace U.S. workers and keep wages low.

"The President’s unconstitutional action is a direct threat to our Republican system of government and will have catastrophic consequences for the American people. It must be stopped. And the way to stop it is by using Congress’ power of the purse.

So, Jeffy, what are you and the rest of the GOP candyasses going to do about it?

Glad you asked:
1. We're going to take the "power of the purse" off the table (re: Tippy Turtle's comments) and we're not going to shut down the gov't. (The NY Times wouldn't like that, you see.)
2. We're going to rewrite TR's "Walk softly and carry a big stick" admonition. Instead, we'll "scream loudly and carry a twig."
3. We're going to do whatever our masters "The National Chamber of Commerce" (who just love cheap, illegal immigrant labor doncha know) tell us to do.
4. We're going to say "what do you expect? We only control half the gov't. If you want REAL change, you'll have to elect a GOP Potus in '16.
5. We're going to silence those awful tea party types - who prevent us from reaching across the aisle and working with our democratic friends.

And then - in '16 - we'll do something really daring and nominate another Bush for prez.
