Jeff Sessions, JD Biography
- Title:
- 84th United States Attorney General
- Position:
- Con to the question "Should the Government Allow Immigrants Who Are Here Illegally to Become US Citizens?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I will not support citizenship for people who entered the country illegally…
There needs to be some difference between what we do for a person who enters the country legally and those who enter illegally.
And there’s no moral, no legal, no principled reason why this United States government should reward people who broke the law and entered the country illegally with every benefit that you give to somebody who comes lawfully.”
