Sen. Jeff Sessions: McCaul Bill Breaks Republican Promise to Voters on Immigration
breitbart.com ^ | 1/20/15 | Matthew Boyle
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), arguably the intellectual leader of the national movement against immigration amnesty, has come out swinging against a new border bill proposed by House Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX).
Sessions issued a lengthy and blistering statement detailing the reasons he thinks McCaul’s bill would be a mistake for any Republican who supports stopping President Obama’s executive amnesty and other “lawlessness” on immigration. The senator writes:
Republicans won a historic midterm vote on the promise to take real action—not symbolic gestures—to end the immigration lawlessness. It is essential that any immigration measures moved by the Republican Congress actually do the job. Too often, Congress will pass anything on immigration except that which will actually work. Indeed, the repudiated Gang of Eight bill was touted as the ‘toughest border security [and] enforcement measures in U.S. history.’ Unfortunately, border legislation being marked-up on Wednesday in the House Homeland Security Committee again fails to include the measures necessary to fulfill its promises.
Sessions writes that McCaul’s bill does nothing to stop Obama’s catch-and-release immigration policies. In recent months, immigration agents from Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been prevented from actually apprehending and deporting illegal aliens when they’re caught. Instead, the illegal aliens are allowed to stay. While they’re waiting for adjudication proceedings (that few actually even show up at) they can take job opportunities away from struggling Americans. Sessions adds:

McCaul Border Bill a Trojan Horse for Amnesty
conservativereview.com ^ | 1/20/15 | Daniel Horowitz
Despite a torrent of deceptive push polls showing that Americans are agog over amnesty, politicians in both parties understand Americans are overwhelmingly against their amnesty agenda.
After all, 67% of blue state voters in Oregon rejected an effort to grant drivers licenses to illegal aliens, even though proponents of the ballot measure outspent opponents by 10-1. Accordingly, all of their amnesty bills will be couched in faux border security parlance, much like they did with the Gang of 8 bill in 2013.
The latest Trojan Horse for amnesty is the “McCaul border bill,” which is authored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and pushed emphatically by GOP leadership. They even put out a slick 3-minute documentary style video to promote it.
Before delving into the details of the bill (H.R. 399), it’s important to ponder the following questions: why would Republicans introduce new border security bench marks and expect the president to implement them at a time when he has nullified our current laws? Why not focus exclusively on cutting off funding for agencies until he agrees to implement the laws on the books, as House conservatives pushed for last week?
The answer is as simple as it is insidious.
For the past two years, GOP leaders have carefully limited their criticism of the Gang of 8 amnesty bill to the “comprehensive” nature of the bill. They incessantly speak of a “step-by-step” approach. Why? They merely plan to implement the broad goals of the bill – phony, notional, and unverifiable border security measures years down the road, massive expansion of record high legal immigration, and immediate amnesty for illegals – through a “piecemeal” approach instead of in one bill.
