Alabama Sen. Sessions Backs Trump’s Immigration Platform

Wall Street Journal

Donald Trump received a key endorsement for his immigration platform Friday night: Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), one of the strongest proponents of restricting immigration in Congress.

Mr. Sessions appeared with Mr. Trump, wearing the Trump campaign’s signature “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, at a rally at a football stadium in Mobile, Ala.

“I’m really impressed with your plan,” Mr. Sessions said while standing on stage with Mr. Trump. “I know it will make a difference and this crowd shows a lot of people agree with that.”

Mr. Trump’s appearance in Alabama included his signature attacks against Republican rival Jeb Bush. He tweaked Mr. Bush for using the term “anchor babies” in reference to American-born children of undocumented immigrants. Mr. Bush had in the past advised Republican candidates not to use the term, which offends many Latinos.

“Now that I’m using it,” Mr. Trump said, “he’s using it.”

As Mr. Trump took the stage, Mr. Bush’s campaign and its allied super PAC mounted their most substantial pushback against him. An airplane flew over the football stadium with a banner reading “Trump for higher taxes. Jeb for president.” The Twitter account for Mr. Bush’s super PAC posted a photo of the plane and its message.


Meanwhile Mr. Bush’s campaign sent an email to its supporters in Alabama attacking the New York developer. “Beneath Trump’s bluster is a record that would make Hillary Clinton proud,” the campaign’s email said.
