In a 2012 interview, Jeff SessionsDonald Trumps pick for attorney generaltold a radio host immigrants should not be allowed to serve in the military, arguing that immigrants are more likely to be spies, the Intercept reports.
Speaking with radio host Lars Larson in April 2014, Sessions asked, in terms of whos going to be most likely to be a spy: somebody from Cullman, Alabama, or somebody from Kenya?
Were going in the wrong direction in a lot of ways, Sessions continued. Our head isnt thinking clearly, at a time when this country needs a good military, last thing we need to be doing is turning out of our military of people who served and bringing in people who are illegally in the country.
Sessions added it is unbelievable that during times of high unemployment, Americans are being turned down to serve in the military. I just think this is not the right thing to do right now, he said, referring to recruiting immigrants.
