All because the chicken plant wants some people who work for $5 an hour.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Immigrants who fail to meet standards designed to further U.S. interests become a drain on our economy, he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn immigrant who comes here without a high school degree would take nearly $100,000 more out of the government than the he pays in,\u201d Sessions said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s this myth that everybody\u2019s going to come in and their grandson\u2019s going to be the senator from Pennsylvania. But it\u2019s not really so. People that came from developed nations like Japan tend to already have educations and are able more quickly to assimilate to the disciplines of United States. They do well.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sessions said any immigration policy should start with border control. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe absolutely can secure the border,\u201d Sessions said. \u201cIt\u2019s not that hard. We\u2019ll soon have twice as many border patrol agents. Fences are a very important part of it. If somebody\u2019s going to be a temporary worker, the government needs to give them an ID with a fingerprint that can\u2019t be easily forged. No business should hire a temporary worker that doesn\u2019t have that card.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sessions blamed U.S. business and agricultural interests, along with the Bush administration, for reluctance on securing the border with Mexico. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.decaturdaily.com\/decaturdaily\/news\/070225\/young.shtml\">more here. <\/a><strong>Why not Jeff Sessions for president?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama on immigration and border security &#8220;We need to prioritize immigrants by what they bring to the country&#8221;.
