Sessions links terrorism to immigration, radicalization

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Monday said the Obama administration hasn't done enough to stop potential terrorists from entering the United States, seizing on immigration as a problem in the war on terror.

 

"No one has a constitutional right to enter the United States," Sessions, an ally of presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, said Monday evening in a statement.

 

"Foreign nationals do not have a right to demand entry to the United States, and it is perfectly appropriate for the country to refuse admission to those whose presence may be detrimental to the national interest," he said.

 

Sessions argued that the administration has undermined law enforcement's ability to do its job by "continuing to bring an unprecedented number of people" into the United States.
