Any fear that Donald Trump’s long-awaited immigration policy speech would be based on a “softening” approach to enforcement [1] were allayed by Senator Sessions during his warm-up remarks before the main event:
JEFF SESSIONS: “You’re going to hear the best laid out law enforcement plan to fix this country’s immigration system that’s been stated in this country, maybe forever! It is going to be so good you’re gonna be proud and pleased about that. . . It’s going to be a special night tonight.”
That’s high praise from America’s top sovereignty defender in Washington.
Curiously, Senator Sessions was actually booed by the Arizona audience when he enthused about John McCain’s victory against a primary opponent. Pro-sovereignty citizens naturally despise McCain for his support for amnesty. I chalk up Sessions’ unnecessary congratulations to McCain as a combination of Sessions’ deep politeness and the Senate group loyalty.
And as promised, Trump’s policy speech was filled with sensible strategies to return immigration to lawfulness. Read a transcript here [2].
Below, Trump and Sessions conferred in the Capitol [3] last year. Senator Sessions was an early immigration policy advisor to Trump. [4]
