Senator Sessions, a leader in the fight to stop illegal immigration, is the Senate’s strongest advocate for securing our borders.  Sessions was a Senate floor leader in the effort to defeat the “amnesty” bill introduced in 2006 and has since worked to block subsequent smaller amnesty bills – including the recent effort in mid-May by the Democrat Leadership to attach ill-conceived “reforms” to the Supplemental Appropriations bill.

Jeff agrees with the American people that the U.S. government has an obligation to stop the steady flow of illegal immigration before attempting to address legalization programs.

Sessions knows the key to ending illegal immigration is to secure our border.  He has authored legislation to build 700 miles of fencing along our border, as well as deploy  National Guards troops to supplement law enforcement on the ground.

Jeff also believes that workplace enforcement is a critical component to stopping illegal immigration, but any measure to improve workplace enforcement should be crafted in a way that protects law abiding businesses.  Small business owners should not be charged with enforcing federal immigration law.  It is incumbent on the federal government to provide law-abiding business owners with the peace of mind that they are operating legally by giving them a simple and accurate system to confirm that their employees are eligible to work.
