Class is in Sessions

I was quite certain that every politician has become bogged down in the issue of illegal immigration (versus immigration in general).  But Senator Jeff Sessions has great things to say in regards to the Senate immigration bill:

I think we have made some progress actually in making this legislation better since it’s been on the floor.  But the flaws are so significant and the issues that are important to immigration have been so little addressed in many key areas that we ought not to go forward.  We should pull the bill and get a better one.

He continues making sense:

The bill does nothing to ensure that our nation’s future immigration policy reflects our country’s needs. Developed nations have reformed their immigration policies to prioritize high-skilled immigration over large scale low-skilled and extended family chain migration. This bill prioritizes low-skilled and chain migration over skill-based immigration, an approach we should reject.

Seems like we’ve heard that somewhere before.

If making sense on immigration is not your cup of tea, Senator Obama may be more your speed:

We need to strike a workable bargain with them.  They have to acknowledge that breaking our immigration laws was wrong. They must pay a penalty, and abide by all of our laws going forward.
