More quotes by Jeff Sessions
[My father] was interested. He read the newspapers and read Time and U.S. News and World Report and people in stores would come along, you know, and they would talk politics.
Jeff Sessions
Donald Trump is saying we're going to end the lawlessness at the border and we're going to push Mexico to do better. So there's been a reaction by the activist community to attack him.
Jeff Sessions
At least 99.92% of illegal immigrants and visa overstays without known crimes on their records did not face removal.
Jeff Sessions
We were segregated throughout the community, and it was pretty brutal, actually. It didn't appear to be, on the surface.People got along and we had great relationships, but there was discrimination that impacted adversely the ability of the African-American community to progress. People did not - were in denial about that fact.
Jeff Sessions
They [Republican voters] believe in a foreign policy that puts America first: Give me a break. And so a lot of our drift within our party has gotten away from that.
Jeff Sessions
[Mitt] Romney didn't get beyond the numbers. He couldn't get 50 percent. Romney didn't - Romney got killed by the under-$50,000-a-year income voter. He just got killed in that.
Jeff Sessions
I think Donald Trump's history has shown that this was a very problematic thing. There were so many ways Iraq could have gone awry once we started, and I don't think most of us spend enough time considering the dangers.
Jeff Sessions
Instead of engaging on the merits and saying, Well, we want an open border, you know, we really do, and that's all good for America because they know the people will reject that, they [the elites] attack Donald Trump as an extremist, which I think is unfair.
Jeff Sessions
I would like to think that we are on a move that could be like [Ronald] Reagan. Reagan appealed to the average working American: their patriotism, their love of country, the belief in their schools and their communities and their loyalty to the military and police, and the things that create stability and a good life.
Jeff Sessions
I think the leaders in all parties tend to adjust to reality. They just have to or they won't remain in office.
Jeff Sessions
I understand the lifelong scars born by women who are victims of assault and abuse.
Jeff Sessions
Those policies - more taxes, more regulation, more debt, more spending, more government - will make American worse. It just will, in my view.
Jeff Sessions
How is it appropriate for a judge ever to say that they will choose to see some facts and not others?
Jeff Sessions
There was a resistance movement in the white community, and there was a determined civil rights movement by our neighbors and friends in the African-American community. They had right on their side. They conducted themselves in high standards, with courage and determination, and they were victorious. They overcame.
Jeff Sessions
Encouraging self-sufficiency must be a bedrock for our immigration policy, with the goal of reducing poverty, strengthening the family, and promoting our economic values. But Administration officials and their policies are working actively against this goal.
Jeff Sessions
We need to give them [the Justice Department] as much power as we can without eroding fundamental liberties.
Jeff Sessions
[Donald] Trump is where the Republicans are, and if you're going to be a Republican leader you should be supportive of that.
Jeff Sessions
I am totally committed to maintaining the freedom and equality America has to provide to every citizen.
Jeff Sessions
[Ronald Reagan] appealed to that group of [working American] people and we can do it again, because they've had, now, eight years of [Barak] Obama. Things have not gone well.
Jeff Sessions
I think if a candidate ran for office in most states in the country, if his opponent, or her opponent was an effective advocate against the TPP and could show, as I think we will be able to show, it's detrimental to working Americans, I think they would have a hard time getting elected.
