23. So basically we should deport a quarter of the people in Alabama for being illiterate

Sessions is a moral absolutist, certain in his own warped view of right and wrong. "Good nations don't allow illiterate immigrants," "Good people don't smoke marijuana."

He even makes up facts to fit his narrative (a trait common to Republicans in general and the Trump administration specifically). What evidence does he have to back up the assertion that terrorists have entered the country through the visa lottery program? What about our home grown terrorists (neo-Nazis, KKK, white supremacists)? They entered the country through unregulated birth canals. Should we build a wall around women's vaginas? (Actually, I think my Dad would have done that to protect my kid sister from all the high school boys that came sniffing around.)

"Where's your evidence?" has got to be the automatic response whenever Sessions or tRump or any Repug makes a demonstrably false statement. Otherwise we let them create a fantasy world of alternative facts--one that benefits only them, the very rich, and their corporate masters.
