Sen. Jeff Sessions tells Newsmax that the immigration reform bill passed by the Senate would pull down wages and increase unemployment — and he predicts it "cannot be passed."
The Alabama Republican also warns that Republicans should not buckle to "big donors" who want to increase immigration to boost the supply of cheap labor.
Sen. Sessions was first elected in 1996 and is the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. He also serves on the Judiciary and Armed Services Committees.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, Sessions has this advice for GOP legislators on immigration reform: "My message is if you do the right thing not only will it be the right thing for America but it will also be good politics, because what's happening today is – and it's been going on since at least 1999 – wages of working Americans have been eroding every year.
