Sessions: President Brings Illegal Immigrants To Oval Office But Won’t Meet With ICE Officers

“The IRS catastrophe is only part of a wider pattern of misconduct. This administration has continually acted as though it is above the law… Any reform of our immigration system will fail as long as this administration continues to demonstrate such disregard for duly enacted law and those tasked with enforcing it. All future Americans—immigrant and native born—will have a better future if America remains unique in the world for the special reverence it places in the rule of law.”

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement today after sending a letter to the President with House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte:

“The fact that the President and the Vice President are hosting illegal immigrants in the White House while constricting citizen tours and refusing to meet with immigration officers says it all. The White House will not even grant ICE officers a low-level White House meeting but invites illegal immigrants into the Oval Office.

The IRS catastrophe is only part of a wider pattern of misconduct. This administration has continually acted as though it is above the law. No better evidence of this can be found than Secretary Napolitano ordering immigration agents not to enforce the laws passed by Congress.

Any reform of our immigration system will fail as long as this administration continues to demonstrate such disregard for duly enacted law and those tasked with enforcing it.

All future Americans—immigrant and native born—will have a better future if America remains unique in the world for the special reverence it places in the rule of law.”
