'We take our stand against this filth:' Sessions speech goes full-on white nationalist

According to the Wall Street Journal, this was a portion of the prepared speech from Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the U.S./Mexico border today, where he “directed federal prosecutors to pursue harsher charges against undocumented immigrants who commit crimes, or repeatedly cross into the U.S. illegally:”

In remarks Tuesday to border patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Ariz., Mr. Sessions spoke in stark terms about the threat he said illegal immigration posed.

“We mean criminal organizations that turn cities and suburbs into warzones, that rape and kill innocent citizens,” Mr. Sessions said, according to the text of his prepared remarks. “It is here, on this sliver of land, where we first take our stand against this filth.”

“This is a new era,” he said. “This is the Trump era.”

As a Senator he could have written and sponsored legislation to reform immigration, to pay for more immigration judges, or more border agents, to take care of the "filth".

Like with the ACA he sat on his thumb and did nothing. Proclaiming that Trump should have credit for something the GOP otherwise refused to do is basically bee ess.

"to pursue harsher charges against undocumented immigrants who commit crimes"

I love this part, harsher charges, more time in prison on the taxpayer dime......

you want them deported but if they are criminals, you want to keep them, charge it to the taxpayer and pad the prison industries pocket and probably Sessions' and Trump's portfolio.

Is there any statistics that support his assertion, or is he just describing a scene from some Hollywood movie? And who the hell is he calling "filth"?

Most of us don't live in a "warzone that rape and kill innocent citizens", I'm not saying drugs aren't a problem and rapes never occur, but they aren't crimes exclusive to immigrants or people from Mexico.

If this dystopian vision of America is how Sessions imagines the rest of us live in his "the Trump era”, someone is either out of touch or lying... or both!

Does he forget that people affiliated with this administration have raped and killed?

Paul Manafort's daughter says her dad has killed people, and the president himself has been accused of rape.

Fuck these people. Their day is coming... Be it in a court room or St. Peter's gate.
