Sessions' DACA Announcement Parroted Right Wing Nativist Talking Points

Earlier today the Orange Menace currently occupying the White House sent out his evil, racist troll AG to declare what we already knew: He is ending DACA in 6 months. What wasn't said was that is purely to appease his rabid, racist, White Nationalist, nativist base.

How do we know?

Well, almost all of the phrases Sessions used were from anti-immigrant right wing media outlets, like Fox, Breitbart and Daily Caller.

Here is what he said:

The executive branch, through DACA, deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions. Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.

The effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other things, contributed to a surge of unaccompanied minors on the southern border that yielded terrible humanitarian consequences. It also denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens.

To have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest, we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. That is an open border policy and the American people have rightly rejected it.
