Sessions Makes Leadership Pitch: If We Don't Secure Border 'We're Going To Lose Our Country'
[BREITBART] House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) is working to outflank GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy on immigration in the early stages of a clash for Eric Cantor's soon-to-be vacant Majority Leader slot, telling a group of news hounds that securing the border is a "huge focus" of his."I am going to focus on the border. I am going to focus on fixing the border. We are going to make sure that this administration gets closer, and closer, and closer to securing the border. And we're going to have to take us there. And if we don't, we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose who we are as a country," Sessions said. Moments later, McCarthy exited the House chamber and declined to comment on the issue, saying "people have to announce before they talk." The early and aggressive moves by Sessions underscore that immigration promises to be a volatile issue in leadership contests after a political neophyte economist deposed Cantor by attacking him on the issue in the primary race, prompting the current scramble for power.
