Though many in the mainstream media have declared the congressional push for an immigration reform package dead, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) warned Americans on Sunday evening that they should be on the lookout for a renewed push from amnesty supporters in Congress.
Sessions’ warning came during an interview on Breitbart News Sunday with Stephen K. Bannon on Sirius/XM Patriot Channel 125 on Sunday evening. When Bannon asked if “people should be lulled to sleep” if the mainstream media and political establishment keeps saying immigration is dead until this time around until 2015 or 2017, Sessions responded they should not back down.
“They should remain highly alert,” Sessions responded. “I think there’s still a lot of talk out there that they will try to move a bill this year, after maybe saying it’s dead, getting people’s eyes off that issue, and then boom, have it pop right back up and slip through.”
Sessions points to how “Gang of Eight” member Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has recently written about being on the phone working to lobby for some form of amnesty. “The Chamber of Commerce is on the phone,” Sessions added. “Mark Zuckerberg has been meeting with Republican and Democratic leaders, all pushing this legislation. They’ll run more ads, I suppose."
"They’re raising money to promote these issues, so I think we’re not out of the woods yet. I think there very well could be an attempt to move a comprehensive bill before this year is out," he claimed. "And if so, it’s likely to be a very bad bill, unfortunately.”
ZitatSessions appeared on the show to discuss an op-ed he and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote for Breitbart News in which they argued House leaders could kill amnesty once and for all by coming out in public opposition to a conference committee with the Senate's "Gang of Eight" legislation.

There's a limit to how many things you can freak-out about at the same time.
Isn't there?
No.
