Jeff Sessions spoke at about 6:30 pm eastern time.
One of Session's comments to the Senate:
"There is no numerical limit to the number of parents a citizen can immigrate into the United States."
He started with
"let me talk about this DREAM Act
I have objected to it before. ... This bill gives amnesty, a full canopy of rights for quite a number of illegal aliens putting them on a direct path to citizenship. 1.3 eligible will be eligible for amnesty.
Lets don't reward people who are here illegally by giving a discount rate of tuition. How much more simple is it than that.
...they may have come when they were younger...There are a limited number of persons who you can provide Pell Grants or subsidized loans to. I suggest they be given to those who are lawfuly here, not those who are unlawfully here. If you are in a hole, I suggest you stop digging.
Stop subsidizing illegal behavior by giving discount tuition.
..there is nothing in the DREAM ACT to keep them from bringing family members. .. they can bring their spouses and chidlren. Citizens can immigrant their parents as a matter of right.
There is no numerical limit to the number of parents a citizen can immigrate into the United States. I think its a flaw in our current law.
...I would conclude by saying reasons why we ought not to pass DREAM ACT itself, that is matter of debate we've had several different times now.
We don't need to be talking about the DREAM act, ..hate crimes... and habeas benefits to unlawful combatants.
We should not be distracted with amendments that will be politically controversial and can only make it more difficult for us to do our duty as a Congress."
