I think I get it.

Everything they say is wrong and you are right.

Thanks for that, good post.

I'd rep you but all my fingers are broken.

You're absolutely correct and I am sick of their race baiting tactics. Many who make race an issue on illegal immigration are doing so because they have ethnic ties to them also. They are the worse, IMO.

You must have seen a different hearing than the Lynch confirmation, maybe you have the exact quote because she did not answer the question. You can hear whatever you want to hear if you try hard enough.

She said she would follow the administrations lead?

On illegal immigrants being given a pass because of an illegal EO, yes she is following this administrations lead.

On illegals have a "right" to work here, yes she said it.

Just a couple of answers that should disqualify her.

You can ignore or parse it anyway you wish, but this is what she said she would do.

This is her exact reply:

Quote:
......................................
SESSIONS:
I certainly agree. I’m a little surprised it took you that long. But the attorney general’s statement was breathtaking to me. ***
Let me ask you this: In the workplace of America today when we have a high number of unemployed, we’ve had declining wages for many years, we have the lowest of Americans working, who has more right to a job in this country? A lawful immigrant who’s here, a green-card holder or a citizen, or a person who entered the country unlawfully


LYNCH:
Well, Senator, I believe that the right and the obligation to work is
one that’s shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here.
And certainly, if someone here, regardless of status, I would prefer that they
be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace.

Is this really the type person you want as AG?

I believe it was my ancestors as the original Border Security.

They gave us bean bags and rocks so we don't kill anyone. They had guns.

Once again that is not what she stated. She has solid credentials and is respected by all, except maybe Ted Cruz. She is a big step up from Holder and a rather enormous step up from Alberto Gonzales (2005).
