Donald Trump Huddles With Jeff Sessions on Immigration
The Senator has just been amazing on the issue, Trump told reporters as he met with Sessions, shortly after Trump had spoken at a rally against President Barack Obamas Irandeal.
The two met on the Capitol steps and walked inside for a confidential, unannounced meeting.
Its time to restore a lawful system [of immigration] we can be proud of thats essential, I think, at this point in history, Sessions added.
Last month,Trump shattered the D.C.s pro-immigration regime by meeting with Sessions, and issuing a policy paperthat closely matched Sessionss low-immigration, high-wage goals.
In a clear display that the GOP frontrunner values the Senators support on the issue, Trump held a stadium-rally before a30,000 crowdin the Senators home town of Mobile, Alabama, in which he invited the Senator to join him on stage.
Sen. Sessions is widelyregardedas the gold standard on immigration reform. Sessions esteemed reputation on the issuehas been well-earned. He led the fight to stop the immigration expansion effort of 2006 and 2007 and was the first to leadthe chargeto derail the 2013 Gang of Eight bill.
Trump is not the only GOP candidate to trumpet his ties to the Senator.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), for instance, has suggested he would makethe Senator a member of his cabinet if Cruz were elected president. I think Jeff Sessions would extraordinary, to be honest, in a number of positions in the cabinet, Cruz told Cliff Sims, editor of Yellowhammer News.I think it would be a difficult choice which would be the ideal place for him, Cruzsaid.
It is not surprising that presidential candidates have sought the guidance and support of the Alabama Senator, who has quickly become the leading authority in the Republican Party on appealing to the blue collar voters who have been abandoned by their political leaders.
Trump rise in the polls is largely attributable to his ability to tap into this pro-American sentiment.Congress is not responding to the will of the people, absolutely, Trump said when asked about his views on the Iran deal.
Indeed, Trumpscampaignplatform has focused almost exclusively onprioritizing the interests and needsof the American people.
For instance, his campaign has been fueled bya populist focuson policiesthat prioritizeblue-collar American workers and legal immigrants already here above special interests corporatist elites, who for decades have pushed trade and immigration legislation that would drive down wages toincrease their companies bottom lines.
Polling data shows that if Trump continues to message on a populisttrade and immigration agenda, he will continue to see his poll numbers rise.
Trump is now winning a huge share of the Democrats non-white base 25 percent of African Americans, 31 percent of Hispanics and 41 percent of the relatively small Asian vote, as Breitbart News has previouslyreported.
These polls confirm the assertions of Jamelle Bouie, chief political correspondent for liberal Slate magazine,who has explainedthat Trumps wage-earner immigration platform could allow him win African-American voters. Part of [the Republican Partys ability to win back African American voters] might just be harnessing anxiety about immigration, about the fact that immigrants are typically filling low wage jobs, and are in some cases competing with African-American workers, Bouie said. Trump, I think, might be banking on that fact. And its not a bad play as far as strategy goes.
Anyone who wants to sit in the Oval Office must promote trade and immigration plan that improve jobs and wages for Americans, Sessions later said in a written statement.
Trumps trade and immigration policies would serve the national interestinstead ofspecial interests, Sessions added:
Wages are lower today than in 1973. We have already accumulated $442 billion in trade deficits this year alone. The Census bureau projects that new immigration into the U.S. will break all known records. Countless Americans, including millions of African-American and Hispanic workers, are hurting. The record admission of new foreign workers, combined with a weak trade policy that sends our jobs overseas, have decimated middle class incomes. But Americas global elites continue to push trade and immigration policies that further reduce wages, increase joblessness and destabilize our communities. Mr. Trump has outlined trade and immigration policies that serve the national interest, not the special interests. Anyone who wants to sit in the Oval Office must promote trade and immigration plan that improve jobs and wages for Americans.
