He and the few others standing against the progressives agenda to finalize the fundamental transformation of America need our help. You have to engage the left and their drone army. Days of sitting back waiting for someone else to come along and do something is over. Venting online on Facebook, Twitter all of social media while staying silent real world because you don&#8217;t want to upset people around you isn&#8217;t going to stop the radicals. Where are the marches, protests sit-ins etc?<\/p>\n<p>While you want to think it over have a discussion amongst yourselves the left is busy bulldozing over this country.<br \/>\n&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sessions Issues Statement On Tonight\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Procedural Vote To Advance 1,200-Page Substitute Immigration Bill<\/strong><br \/>\nMonday, June 24, 2013<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON\u00e2\u20ac\u201dU.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement after tonight\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vote:<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The sponsors of the Corker-Hoeven substitute fell short of the votes they expected tonight to advance what they had erroneously billed to other Senators as a strong border security amendment. Failure to capture the votes they anticipated for this motion demonstrates the building unease this 1,200-page legislative monstrosity has created. I expect that unease will increase as Senators learn more about what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really inside this proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The Gang of Eight and their allies revealed their true tactics tonight. They shut down debate and blocked amendments to a 1,200-page immigration bill that no one has read. It was anything but the open and fair process that they had promised.<\/p>\n<p>What we know for absolute certain is that this bill guarantees three things: instantaneous amnesty, permanent lawlessness, and a massive expansion in legal immigration that will reduce wages for working Americans. This legislation is a crushing blow to the working people of this country, a surrender to illegality, and a capitulation to special interests over the interests of the citizens we pledged to represent.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>BACKGROUND ON CORKER-HOEVEN SUBSTITUTE AMNESTY-FIRST IMMIGRATION BILL:<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7 Immediate amnesty before enforcement<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7 Guts legal requirement for biometric exit-entry system<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7 Millions of green cards (permanent residency) before enforcement\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddebunking another false claim from sponsors<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7 No border surge.
