On Thursday evening, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) had a chance to stand with American workers and against amnesty by voting with Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to kill the Senates border funding bill, which would not prevent President Barack Obama from unilaterally granting temporary amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants. While Alexander has been claiming to be against amnesty, he was nowhere to be found on the Senate floor just a week before his August 7th primary against Joe Carr for a decisive vote against a bill that threatened Americas sovereignty. Tonight, the moment of truth came, and when the opportunity to stand with Sens. Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz came, Lamar Alexander was nowhere to be found. With our national sovereignty on the line, Lamar Alexander skipped tonights decisive Senate vote, Carr said in a Thursday statement. Where was Tennessees voice tonight on the floor of the United States Senate? What was Lamar Alexander doing that was so much more important than representing Tennessee on the Senate floor during this monumental vote? Carr, a state representative who has been the architect of some of the countrys toughest immigration laws, has been hammering Alexander for voting for the Senates comprehensive amnesty bill last year, even after law enforcement officials warned Alexander that it would exacerbate the border crisis. Alexander, however, has refused to debate Carr on these issues and explain his vote, claiming that he has to be in Washington to debate the countrys most pressing issues. breitbart/Big-Government/...ecutive-Amnesty
