Civil Rights Commissioner Slams House Attack on Asylum Integrity

Peter Kirsanow, a commissioner of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, called on House leadership to reject an amendment that would render Attorney General Jeff Sessions's reforms to asylum impotent.

In a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, Kirsanow forcefully condemned the proposal, writing it would "undermine immigration enforcement."

"American workers finally have a beneficial labor market after suffering years of high unemployment and stagnant wages. And now Republicans in Congress want to blow it by gutting immigration enforcement," Kirsanow writes.

The source of Kirsanow's discontent traces back to June, when Sessions issued an opinion in the immigration court case Matter of A-B- (as attorney general, Sessions has final review over all immigration court matters). In A-B-, Sessions overruled a 2014 decision of the immigration court system's highest appeals board which found, in Matter of A-R-C-G-, that "married women in Guatemala who are unable to leave their relationship" were a class of people entitled to asylum protections under the Immigration and Naturalization Act.

Sessions, I think, has been cowered by the NSA and it's deep state intentions.
He has failed to prosecute some serious criminal conduct.
He IS promoting, enhancing, and solidifying the most serious threat to our republic ---- Two Sets of Laws.
There is no longer any "equality under law" in the USA. Day after day, "we, the people" are IMPRISONED for the same (or often much less) crimes that our "leaders" don't even get CHARGED with...
And you just can't stop cheering....
It's truly unbelievable.
The Two Sets of Laws legal system has destroyed EVERY COUNTRY that has ever allowed it to become entrenched.
Keep buying guns and ammo.
