The House Republican leadership yesterday came out with their hilariously-titled ‘principles’ for immigration reform. They are principles in the same sense that the defeated French generals established principles for their negotiations with the Wehrmacht in Compiegne.

Knowing that amnesty and the immigration surge was a clunker with the base, some 2016 “frontrunners” like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul shrewdly cast a meaningless, symbolic vote against the Schumer-Rubio bill and said a few critical words, while continuing to support the nonsensical idea that virtually unlimited immigration is a moral and economic good, just as long as it’s legal. Their disagreement with the Democrat desire to fundamentally transform the nation is as deep as a puddle.

On the other hand, one man has, almost single-handedly, led the battle against this catastrophic bill with courage and grace. He does not have a famous name like Jeb Bush or Rand Paul or the pretty boy looks of Marco Rubio, he doesn’t berate schoolteachers to demonstrate his “toughness” like Chris Christie, he doesn’t have Ted Cruz’s Ivy League credentials. He’s a soft-spoken virtually unknown Senator from Alabama. Jeff Sessions has led the fight against this bill with a very simple argument that appeals to the people’s common sense–when the employment situation for Americans looks terrible, as it does today, especially for the less-skilled, how can Republican leaders propose drastically increasing supply to the labor market?

Sessions 2016?
