Gabriel “Gang Of Nine” Gomez Loses Both Hispanics AND Whites in Massachusetts

http://www.vdare.com/articles/gabriel-gang-of-nine-gomez-loses-both-hispanics-and-whites-in-massachusetts

By Matthew Richer    

[Previously by Matthew Richer The Marco Rubio Of Massachusetts: Will The GOP Establishment And Its Token Hispanic Gabriel Gomez Blow This Election Too]
Watching the Republican Party’s current obsession with “Hispanic outreach” reminds one of the circus clown whose routine consists of tossing banana peels in front of himself, then slipping and falling flat on his back.
Early in the special election campaign to replace John Kerry in the U.S. Senate, it was clear that the Massachusetts GOP Establishment had handpicked Gabriel Gomez as their candidate, and for only one reason—he’s Hispanic.
Just as being black was the only reason Deval Patrick was elected Governor and Barack Obama elected President, being Hispanic was the only reason Gabriel Gomez received the GOP nomination for the Senate.
When asked about his qualifications, Gomez constantly repeated the fact that he had served as a Navy SEAL. Unfortunately, military service does not impress a lot of voters here in the Bay State, and “Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez” quickly became an irritating soundbite.
True, Gomez did join a successful private equity firm after his military service, but one has to wonder if he was just an Affirmative Action hire. He never really seemed to understand economic policy very well—especially given that he is a huge booster for the nation-bankrupting Gang of Eight Amnesty/ Immigration Surge.
During the debates, Gabriel Gomez deliberately chided his Democratic opponent, Ed Markey (NumbersUSA F) for being too weak a proponent of the Gang of Eight amnesty and actually vowed to outdo the Democrat on this issue. ““I want to make it a ‘Gang of Nine,’” Gomez promised again and again.  Gomez: We’ll win ‘with or without DC’, by Jessica Taylor, June 25, 2013
You can’t make this stuff up.
Every time Gomez uttered this “Gang of Nine” remark, it was obvious that he really believed that he was delivering a decisive blow against his opponent. But the only people wincing were potential voters.
The “Gang of Nine” sound bite was obviously pre-rehearsed. Who can doubt that Gomez’s consultants went over it with him many times before the debates? Clearly they believed that it would be a real zinger.
In fact, Gabriel Gomez hired many of the same consultants who engineered the defeats of John McCain in 2008, and Mitt Romney and Scott Brown in 2012, including Eric “Etch-a-Sketch” Fehrnstrom, and Lenny Alcivar of Hynes Communications. [Giving boost to Senate hopeful Gabriel Gomez, conservative super PAC takes aim at Democrat Ed Markey, By Robert Rizzuto, MassLive.com, April 24, 2013 ]
Additionally, Gomez spoke Spanish on television, in campaign ads, and even before exclusively English-speaking audiences.
The amusing thing is that Gomez’s shameless hispandering didn’t even win him any Hispanic votes. The state’s largest Spanish-speaking newspaper, El Planeta, endorsed Ed Markey just before Gomez’s well-advertised (but sparsely attended) “Latino Townhall” in Southbridge, MA. [El Planeta Newspaper endorses Ed Markey, TuBoston.com, June 13, 2013]
Not that it mattered. Even if Gomez received 100% of the Hispanic vote, it would not have improved his chances of winning. Besides, most Hispanic voters in Massachusetts are Puerto Ricans who aren’t interested in Amnesty. But Puerto Ricans do support the Democratic Party because, like most Hispanics, they are natural Democrats.
Ed Markey ended up winning 55% of the vote, despite the fact that turnout was abysmally low.  [Edward Markey wins a low-turnout, big-spending Massachusetts Senate race, By Ryan Lenora Brown, Christian Science Monitory, June 26, 2013]
While hispandering didn’t win the Republicans any new votes, it cost them plenty, including many former Scott Brown supporters who chose to stay home. And let’s be honest: those Scott Brown voters were almost entirely white voters.
This was really a squandered opportunity because Gabriel Gomez lost to a very weak candidate. Before this year, Ed Markey was hardly a household name in Massachusetts. He was just one of those Democratic congressmen who had been around forever and no one seemed to know why. In a lot of districts, if you keep your mouth shut and vote the party line, you can get you reelected for as long as you like, which has been 37 years in Ed Markey’s case.
However, if the Democrats have an Achilles heel it is surely immigration.
For example, a viable GOP nominee could have made an issue out of the Matthew Denice case. It would have been the perfect opportunity to embarrass the Democrats and to illustrate the madness of our immigration policies.
As VDARE.com has previously reported, 23 year old Matthew Denice of Milford, MA was killed in 2011 by a drunk-driving Ecuadorean illegal immigrant named Nicolas Dutan Guaman. In the middle of the day, Guaman blew a stop sign and crashed into Denice’s motorcycle. Denice was still alive as Guaman’s pickup dragged him a quarter of a mile. After Denice became dislodged, Guaman backed up over him and sped away. Fortunately, the police caught up with him. [Timeline: Matthew Denice Case |Nineteen months after the death of Milford's Matthew Denice, no trial has been scheduled, By Mary MacDonald, Milford Patch, March 29, 2013]
What makes this tragedy particularly scandalous: Nicolas Guaman had been arrested previously for, among other things, assaulting a police officer and a firefighter. But because of the sanctuary policies that Democratic Governor Deval Patrick supports, Guaman was always released and never reported to ICE.
Even worse, last spring Judge Janet Kenton-Walker, a Deval Patrick appointee, ruled that Guaman’s trial would be postponed indefinitely because of his “unique cultural and linguistic background.” [Justice A Foreign Word For Judge, by Howie Carr, HowieCarrShow.com. April 14, 2013]. Translation: Guaman doesn’t speak English or Spanish, but an Andean dialect with no written form, and it will take many months for the court to find an attorney and an interpreter who can communicate with him (at significant public expense). [McPhee: Dangerous judge in Milford case, The MetroWest Daily News, April 14, 2013]
How many backward South American peasants like Nicolas Guaman will be amnestied under the Gang of Eight bill? It’s an important question—which Gabriel Gomez was not interested in asking.
A credible Republican candidate could have forced Ed Markley to defend the sanctuary policies that produced this travesty of justice and prolonged the suffering of Matthew Denice’s friends and family. But instead, Gomez mouthed vapid immigration happy talk—no doubt with the enthusiastic approval of his consultants.
Russell Kirk used to caution those on the Right that conservatism should not be allowed to morph into an ideology—a warning that has flummoxed some conservatives who believe that adhering to an ideology is a strength, as long as it is the correct ideology. But for Kirk, an ideology is a political worldview in which one is emotionally invested.
The problem with Conservatism Inc. is that they have become emotionally invested in their vision of the Hispanic Republican. They have constructed a mental moat around the idea and all the logic and evidence we muster will not penetrate through to them—not even losing elections, which they’ve been doing a lot of lately.
In fact, losing only convinces these Republicans that they must “try harder” to woo Hispanics—which supposedly means granting a blanket amnesty to illegal aliens.
Hispandering, therefore, is not just an idea, it is an ideology and an ideology is a difficult thing to combat.
And that is why we should see the defeat of Gabriel Gomez as a victory for patriotic immigration reformers. It illustrates the utter foolishness of the GOP elite’s Hispanic strategy.
After all, if Hispandering by Latino Republicans does not win any Hispanic votes, then why will work any better when white candidates engage in it? Ted Cruz got elected in heavily Hispanic Texas, but he’s a committed opponent of amnesty. Hey, why not follow his lead?
Running for national office is a huge commitment. How many people want to be the next Mitt Romney, hiring pricey consultants who advise you on how to alienate voters and blow elections (enriching them in the process)?
You can’t keep losing and stay in business forever. Eventually, candidates are going to look for better campaign advice.
Like that circus clown tossing the banana peels, Hispanic Outreach has become a stale routine that has bored white voters, and even Hispanic voters, into staying home and not voting on Election Day.
If the GOP is to have any future, then they must reject these Rasputins of the Right who preach this nonsense.
Patriotic immigration reform will not achieve victory without their defeat.
And they certainly suffered a defeat this week in Massachusetts.

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” Is Anarcho-Tyranny In Action

http://www.vdare.com/articles/comprehensive-immigration-reform-is-anarcho-tyranny-in-action

By James Kirkpatrick     

The government has met the enemy and it is us—the historic American nation.
Washington's long war on its own people has broken into the open, with reports that the National Security Agency, among others, has been spying on the phone calls and emails of American citizens. But at the same time, the Amnesty Establishment and its lackeys in the GOP claim that it is simply impossible to enforce immigration laws, deport illegals, or even build a border fence.
The simple truth: the feds can accomplish a lot if they want to—but reading your emails is higher on their priority list than fulfilling the fundamental responsibility of government.
What gives the game away: the reaction of the Treason Lobby’s Republican collaborators:

• Senator Lindsey Graham (Scalawag-SC), who grows more prissy and hysterical as he ages, cried last month that “You can't build a fence high enough to stop people” because people in Mexico are fleeing a “hellhole.” (It was left for Senator Jeff Sessions to point out that Mexico is not actually a hellhole, being fairly rich by global standards).

But while Graham thinks it is simply impossible to build a border fence, he thinks it is eminently feasible to censor every letter in the country. [Lindsey Graham: ‘If I thought censoring the mail was necessary, I would suggest it’, By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News, June 11, 2013]  Graham is also “glad” the national security agency intercepts phone records and emails. [GOP Sen. Graham says he’s ‘glad’ NSA is collecting phone records, By Seth McLaughlin, Washington Times, June 6, 2013]He made a possible Freudian slip when he mused that “bloggers” might not be entitled to First Amendment protections. Finally, he wants to chase whistleblower Edward Snowden to “the ends of the earth.”

• Senator Marco Rubio (Conquistador-FL) has stubbornly persisted in his support for Amnesty, apparently indifferent to his collapsing support among conservatives—perhaps because he is already preparing to switch parties. Unable to sell his own bill to conservatives, Rubio has abandoned even the pretense of pretending he cares about this country, admitting that he's been lying to his Republican supporters about border security—but only in Spanish.

Like Graham, Rubio claims that the government simply “can't deport millions.” But he has seemingly infinite faith in the right of the federal government to monitor American communications without a warrant. He claims it is “simply a reality” because “The threat that we face—largely radical, political Islamists—is probably a threat that is going to exist for the rest of our lifetimes.”
Of course, the reason this threat exists—aside from our adventurist foreign policy, which Rubio supports—is because of the U.S. government's fanaticism in allowing in ever more Muslim immigrants. Even now, as it becomes clear that the American government is backing a losing effort side in Syria, the State Department is scheming to inflict tens of thousands of Syrian aliens on helpless American towns and cities. But the Obama Administration—with the help of collaborators like Rubio—is simultaneously halting background checks on immigrants so as to facilitate the Third World invasion.
So much for preventing terrorism.

• Senator John McCain (MSM—Arizona). When running against immigration patriot primary opponent J. D. Hayworth, McCain conceded that we should “build the dang fence” if it would make the peasants happy. Now, safely ensconced in office, he's shamelessly returned to his efforts to destroy his party and his people in Arizona as a leader of the Gang of 8.

McCain now of course believes that a fence is unnecessary and wouldn't work—apparently only his Israeli friends are allowed to protect their country. He also engages in some concern trolling about cost.
But McCain is totally confident about the government's claim to monitor the communications of Americans and seems to have no concern about the costs of a permanent and extensive national security establishment.
Arguing against Senator Rand Paul, McCain argues that America is a battlefield. Thanks to his de facto open borders policy, he's right.

• Speaker John Boehner, fresh from his daughter's wedding to a dreadlocked Jamaican pothead, announced that he would do his best to make sure the Republican House would not oppose an immigration bill and would debate it. He chirped happily that they could have a bill by the “end of the year.”

Boehner was praised by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who of course is deeply concerned about the Republican Party's relationship to Latino voters.
My assessment: While Boehner may occasionally make noise about border security, his real concern is giving himself political cover so he can work against the interests of his own supporters. As with many Republicans, Boehner is executing a delicate balancing act, trying to deliver cheap labor for his masters while doing his best to make an Amnesty betrayal look like something other than what it is.
(In the latest twist, “sources familiar with his plans” say John Boehner won't back immigration bill without majority GOP support—by David M. Drucker, Washington Examiner, June 16 2013. We’ll see).
But Boehner showed no such tactical delicacy when it came to Edward Snowden. He called Snowden a “traitor”—which presumably means that Snowden should be killed.
So reporting on the government's activities against citizens is treason, while working to dispossess those citizens is apparently just a higher form of patriotism.

• Senator Rand Paul (Confused-Tennessee). Senator Paul's father Ron was warning about the government computer surveillance and data mining in (literally) 1984. Ron Paul is now warning that the government may try to kill Edward Snowden with a drone.

As for Senator Paul himself, he has issued blistering criticism of the National Security Agency, and claims that the government is looking at a “billion phone calls a day.”
But Senator Paul's fears about the awesome power of “The State” apparently do not extend to their ability to build a wall. In a typically confused gesture, Senator Paul will offer an amendment that will give the government five years to build a border fence—the same one that has already been mandated.
Also, he will require Congress to vote on whether the border is secure—according to the opinions of Congress, rather than any objective standard. As Chuck Schumer is promising that the current bill will make illegal immigration “a thing of the past,” it's not much of a stretch to judge that the junior Senator from Kentucky has not thought this through.
Paul also wants to ban any form of a national ID—the same objection that killed the 1986 Amnesty's enforcement provisions.
Not surprisingly, last week Paul voted with the majority to move Amnesty forward.
Liberals, neoconservatives and libertarians all accept that the federal government has the power to tap the phone calls, read the emails, and even the censor the letters of millions of Americans. But all these groups somehow believe that this same all powerful government is incapable of building a wall in a timely fashion, enforcing current laws, or deporting illegals (even when the illegals in question are testifying before the Senate). All also ignore the obvious truth—immigration laws aren't ignored because the government can't enforce them, they are ignored because the government won't enforce them.
Furthermore, mass immigration of hostile Third Worlders practically guarantees a never-ending terrorist threat—which of course provides further justification for the permanent national security state libertarians claim to oppose.
The Amnesty Establishment and its apologists are a comically obvious example of what the late Sam Francis called “anarcho-tyranny”: the government cracks down on law-abiding citizens while blithely ignoring (and even encouraging) criminality, parasitism, and outright treason.
Any talk of defending against terrorism or extreme actions in the name of national security simply cannot be taken seriously when elected officials refuse to enforce laws that might actually solve the problem.
The American government would rather impose tyranny on citizens than inconvenience the invaders—and the silence of Conservativism Inc., liberals, and libertarians tells us all we need to know about who sets the parameters of debate in Occupied America.
While Americans are distracted by passing issues and Conservatism Inc. profiteers off phony scandals, the nation-breaking Amnesty/ Immigration Surge is proceeding.
This real message of last week: mass immigration, amnesty, and the undoing of the American nation is statism in action.
Both stopping terrorism and preserving what's left of limited government require border security. If Senators and Congressmen don't make the connection, they don't deserve to be taken seriously.

IF THE GOP IS THIS STUPID, IT DESERVES TO DIE

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-06-12.html

June 12, 2013

Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they'll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote.

This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are devoting all their energy to slightly increasing their share of the Hispanic vote while alienating everyone else in America.

It must be fun for liberals to manipulate Republicans into focusing on hopeless causes. Why don't Democrats waste their time trying to win the votes of gun owners?

As journalist Steve Sailer recently pointed out, the Hispanic vote terrifying Republicans isn't that big. It actually declined in 2012. The Census Bureau finally released the real voter turnout numbers from the last election, and the Hispanic vote came in at only 8.4 percent of the electorate -- not the 10 percent claimed by the pro-amnesty crowd.

The sleeping giant of the last election wasn't Hispanics; it was elderly black women, terrified of media claims that Republicans were trying to suppress the black vote and determined to keep the first African-American president in the White House.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, 10 percent more blacks voted in 2012 compared to 2008, even beating white voters, the usual turnout champions. Eligible black voters turned out at rate of 66.2 percent, compared to 64.1 percent of eligible white voters. Only 48 percent of all eligible Hispanic voters went to the polls.

No one saw this coming, which is probably why Gallup had Romney up by 5 points before Hurricane Sandy hit, and up by 1 point in its last pre-election poll after the hurricane.
Only two groups voted in larger numbers in 2012 compared to 2008: blacks aged 45-64, and blacks over the age of 65 -- mostly elderly black women.

In raw numbers, nearly twice as many blacks voted as Hispanics, and nine times as many whites voted as Hispanics. (Ninety-eight million whites, 18 million blacks and 11 million Hispanics.)

So, naturally, the Republican Party's entire battle plan going forward is to win slightly more votes from 8.4 percent of the electorate by giving them something they don't want.

As Byron York has shown, even if Mitt Romney had won 70 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost. No Republican presidential candidate in at least 50 years has won even half of the Hispanic vote.

In the presidential election immediately after Reagan signed an amnesty bill in 1986, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote actually declined from 37 percent to 30 percent -- and that was in a landslide election for the GOP. Combined, the two Bush presidents averaged 32.5 percent of the Hispanic vote -- and they have Hispanics in their family Christmas cards.

John McCain, the nation's leading amnesty proponent, won only 31 percent of the Hispanic vote, not much more than anti-amnesty Romney's 27 percent.
Amnesty is a gift to employers, not employees.

The (pro-amnesty) Pew Research Hispanic Center has produced poll after poll showing that Hispanics don't care about amnesty. In a poll last fall, Hispanic voters said they cared more about education, jobs and health care than immigration. They even care more about the federal budget deficit than immigration! (To put that in perspective, the next item on their list of concerns was "scratchy towels.")

Also, note that Pew asked about "immigration," not "amnesty." Those Hispanics who said they cared about immigration might care about it the way I care about it -- by supporting a fence and E-Verify.

Who convinced Republicans that Hispanic wages aren't low enough and what they really need is an influx of low-wage workers competing for their jobs?

Maybe the greedy businessmen now running the Republican Party should talk with their Hispanic maids sometime. Ask Juanita if she'd like to have seven new immigrants competing with her for the opportunity to clean other people's houses, so that her wages can be dropped from $20 an hour to $10 an hour.

A wise Latina, A.J. Delgado, recently explained on www.Mediaite.com why amnesty won't win Republicans the Hispanic vote -- even if they get credit for it. Her very first argument was: "Latinos will resent the added competition for jobs."

But rich businessmen don't care. Big Republican donors -- and their campaign consultants -- just want to make money. They don't care about Hispanics, and they certainly don't care what happens to the country. If the country is hurt, I don't care, as long as I am doing better! This is the very definition of treason.

Hispanic voters are a small portion of the electorate. They don't want amnesty, and they're hopeless Democrats. So Republicans have decided the path to victory is to flood the country with lots more of them!

It's as if Republicans convinced Democrats to fixate on banning birth control to win more pro-life voters. This would be great for Republicans because Democrats will never win a majority of pro-life voters, and about as many pro-lifers care about birth control as Hispanics care about amnesty.

But that still wouldn't be as idiotic as what Republicans are doing because, according to Gallup, pro-lifers are nearly half of the electorate. Hispanics are only 8.4 percent of the electorate.

And it still wouldn't be as stupid as the GOP pushing amnesty, because banning birth control wouldn't create millions more voters who consistently vote against the Democrats.

Listening to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus burble a few weeks ago on "Fox News Sunday" about how amnesty is going to push the Republicans to new electoral heights, one is reminded of Democratic pollster Pat Caddell's reason for refusing to become a Republican: No matter how enraged he gets at Democratic corruption, he says he can't bear to join such a stupid party as the GOP.

WaPo Compares Senator Sessions To George Wallace—He Must Be Doing Something Right!

http://www.vdare.com/articles/wapo-compares-senator-sessions-to-george-wallace-he-must-be-doing-something-right

By Brenda Walker

See also: Senator Jeff Sessions: “The Best We’ve Got.”
Another day, another Main Stream Media attack on Senator Jeff Sessions—who continued to emerge as the one bright light of patriotic leadership as the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the vile Amnesty/ Immigration Surge bill out of committee May 21 while spectators chanted "Si Se Puede" ("yes we can" invade successfully), with the votes of all Democrats plus Republicans Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and Orrin Hatch, the last two of whom shamelessly ran as border hawks in 2012. The bill will reportedly reach the Senate floor June 10.
Today’s attack: Jeff Sessions Wants to Single-Handedly Crush Immigration Reform by Jordan Fabian, ABCnews.com, June 3 2013). It contains this ludicrous complaint:

[Critics] accuse Sessions of stretching the facts to play to the fears of poor and lower-middle class voters in Alabama who worry that a wave of immigrants could hurt them economically.
"He is playing to a segment of Alabama society that is scared," said Helen Hamilton Rivas,[Email her] an immigrant-rights advocate who has lived in Alabama since 1980. "Fear drives a lot of the anti-immigrant stuff…

In fact, of course, poor and lower-middle class Alabamians have every reason to fear intensified workplace competition—as liberals like Ted Rall, Bernie Sanders, and John Judis, are now admitting.
Inadvertently revealing the ethnic animosity driving the immigration enthusiasts’ agenda, ABC reported:

Immigrant advocates like [founder and executive director of “America's Voice” Frank] Sharry also like to refer to the Alabamian by his full name—Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III—to conjure up an image of a Confederate general leading the charge.
"We can no longer overtly be tough on African-Americans, but we can overtly be tough on Latinos because we can hide behind the rule of law argument," is how Sharry summed up Sessions' immigration views.

Typically, the liberal mind refuses to notice that American blacks are the most harmed by mass immigration of cheapie low-skill foreigners.
The Senator from Alabama was resolute and calm throughout the two-day marathon Judiciary Committee markup. He was not dissuaded by Chairman Patrick Leahy's snarky asides about his many amendments. Sessions’ strategy: to highlight the faults of the legislation and make good-faith attempts to improve it. He stood for Americans who need to have jobs, whose rights are being shoved aside to make way for 30 million cheap new foreign workers in the next decade.
The markup looked like normal order on the surface, but the Gangsters met in advance to decide which tiny changes they would allow. Treason Lobby flack Frank Sharry was cheered by the solidarity of the Open-Borders group, gloating, "The Gang of Eight has . . . accepted a number of Republican amendments, but none of them undermine the core elements of the bill."
But Sessions' amendments and explanations have helped map out the highly complex bill to those concerned citizens who don't speak in legislative language. His strategy was a great success in communicating the true nature of the bill—and its fundamental falsehood about requiring effective enforcement. (Sessions’ website presents informative press releases, many of which have lately discussed the amnesty, and the Sessions YouTube channel has some of his best video clips from the hearing).
In sports, reporters talk about the "tale of the tape," meaning the relevant statistics. In S.744, much can be similarly learned from the more than 300 amendments, listed by the Senate according to the authors.
Most of the Democrat committee members offered just a handful of amendments, because the original bill is practically perfect, according to its authors. Chairman Leahy had eight amendments, ex-comedian Al Franken submitted 12, Gangster Schumer presented five, and so on among the Democrat majority.
The Republicans, conversely, had a number of diverse amendments.
Celebrated newbie conservative Ted Cruz of Texas wrote just five, and kept a mostly low profile in the hearing even when he showed up. He did pipe up to chastise the bill for making the illegal immigration problem worse by having no real enforcement. But he enthusiastically entered an amendment to increase H-1b tech visas by 500 percent, from 65,000 now to 325,000, which surely made Facebook founder (and cheap-labor abuser) Mark Zuckerberg smile. (Zuck needs to pinch pennies to keep up his $7-million Palo Alto house after he lost $4 billion in net worth due to the IPO flop of FB.)
It must be said that Senator Chuck Grassley was the other champion of law and sovereignty in the hearing, with a remarkable 77 amendments. His style is somewhat more low-key than Sessions, but he was memorably clear about his position as a repentant 1986 amnesty supporter  in his May 21 closing statement:

Coming into the debate, my position was clear. I voted for amnesty for 3 million people in 1986, and it didn’t solve the problem. And, today, we’re right back at the same place, talking about the same problems, and proposing the same solutions.

(Grassley should get a psychology merit badge for his lucid explanation of behavioral principles in legislation: "You know what I found out? If you reward illegality, you get more of it.")
Sessions had fewer amendments (49), and they focused on protecting American workers, taxpayers, border security and public safety.
Following are a few Sessions amendments presented in normal English, just to give a hint how broadly the bill affects America and what must be done to fix it:

•  Sessions 3: To prohibit the issuance of low-skilled guest worker visas if the unemployment rate is 5 percent or more. (BAG13295)
•  Sessions 5: To provide criminal penalties for overstaying a visa. (BAG13293)
•  Sessions 7: To provide sanctions for countries that delay or prevent repatriation of their citizens and nationals. (EAS13357)
•  Sessions 9: To require the completion of the 700 miles of reinforced fencing as required by section 102(b)(1)(A) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996 (as amended) as a trigger. …

[Democrats Shoot Down Immigration Reforms In Senate, by John Hinderaker, Powerline, May 9, 2013
Wonky stuff, to be sure. But it’s what goes on in the battle to save the country. Only five of the Sessions amendments were passed—none important to enforcement, needless to say.
Naturally, the tireless defense of American sovereignty cannot go unpunished by the Cultural Marxist MSM. In elite newsrooms, scribblers side with job-stealing immigrants and illegals and against unemployed American.
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank [Message him on Twitter]  compared Sessions to a famous liberal bogeyman:

Not since George Wallace, perhaps, has an Alabamian taken as passionate a stand for a lost cause as the one Jeff Sessions is taking now.
Bipartisan immigration legislation is making its way inexorably through the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although its ultimate fate is unclear, its passage by the committee is assured, and conservatives on the panel such as ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) are doing what they can to improve the bill. Even firebrands such as Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Mike Lee (Utah) are holding fire.
Then there’s Sessions. The wiry Southerner is on a one-man crusade to undo the compromise drafted by the Gang of Eight (four of whom, two Democrats and two Republicans, are colleagues on the committee).
He has dominated the four days of hearings to “mark up” the bill. As of midday Monday, he had spoken for two hours and 56 minutes — far longer than the second-place Grassley (2:24) and third-place Chuck Schumer of New York (1:38). [. . .]
On immigration, Sen. Jeff Sessions tries to halt the inevitable, by Dana Milbank, Washington Post, May 20, 2013

In Milbank’s loaded liberal language, the “petulant Alabamian” “complained,” “muttered” and “demanded.”
According to Milbank, even the Republican “firebrands” are restraining themselves for the greater comity, but the knuckle-dragger from the racist Deep South is a purveyor of hate against little brown people who just want to come out of the shadows for a better life.
But, as usual, many WaPo commenters weren’t buying this liberal trash talk, even though Post posters tend to lean left. A good showing in that tough room suggests Jeff Sessions is being successful in his campaign to educate the public on how bad S.744 really is.
It must be said that, CNN, normally a proponent of open borders, presented Senator Sessions in a more positive light, portraying him as friendly to concerns of citizen workers. CNN hasn’t been so friendly to immigration law enforcement since it chased off Lou Dobbs.

Specifically, he argued that in granting work authorization for millions of undocumented men and women over the next decade and beyond, the bill will benefit corporate titans by flooding the labor market and holding down stagnant salaries in an already weak economy.
In short, it will lead to disaster for those Americans now clinging to the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
It's a populist argument not often heard in the higher echelons of today's GOP.
"My Republican colleagues seem to be oblivious to the free market," Sessions said. [. . .]
Sessions takes on Senate immigration gang, vows to 'expose' flawed bill, by Alan Silverleib, CNN May 21, 2013

It’s very tough to fight against the business, ethnic and media forces that push the Treason Lobby agenda. Nevertheless, Senator Sessions is succeeding in getting his message across in the old-fashioned way—calmly explaining the truth.
The Eight Gangsters had the field to themselves as they wrote the bill in secret, while promising a balance of enforcement along with rewards for lawbreakers.
Now the job of every concerned American is to reveal the lies hidden within the bill’s size and deliberately obscure structure.
Jeff Sessions is showing the way.
