Sen. Sessions On Obama's Exec Amnesty: Congress Faces Time Of Choosing At Perilous Hour
 |
| Sen. Jeff Sessions |
Saying America faces a "perilous hour," and members of Congress are entering a "momentous week" when it comes to the future of the separation of powers, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) urged his colleagues on Monday to "be counted" and "stand up" to Obama's "lawless actions, and sponsor legislation that will block him" from granting amnesty to millions more illegal immigrants.
He also urged colleagues to "oppose any border supplemental that does" not prevent Obama from using federal money to implement more executive actions on immigration. Simply put, Sessions said, there is "no middle ground" when it comes to Obama's potential nullification of federal immigration laws.
Obama has indicated that he will enact more executive actions and grant work permits--in contravention of federal law--to possibly eight million more illegal immigrants once Congress leaves for its August recess after this week. Sessions has been urging Congress to support bills like Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) that would prevent Obama from granting temporary amnesty to future illegal immigrants.
"Our response now is of great import," Sessions said on the Senate floor. "It will define the scope of executive and congressional powers for years to come. If President Obama is not stopped in this action, and he exceeds his powers by attempting to execute such a massive amnesty contrary to law, the moral authority for any immigration henceforth will be eviscerated."
Saying every member of Congress will face "a time of choosing" this week in which they will be asked to support or oppose legislation that would block Obama's executive amnesty, Sessions asked, "Will we answer that call? Where will history record each of us stood at this important time?"
