The Federation for American Immigration Reform<\/a> (FAIR) is advising all Senators and staff that it opposes the confirmation of Loretta Lynch for Attorney General and will include the confirmation vote in FAIR\u2019s Voting Report. The highest duty of the nation\u2019s Attorney General, the top law enforcement position, is to uphold the law as written, not to politicize and undermine it at the whim of the President. Disappointingly, when it comes to immigration, Loretta Lynch openly admitted that she will follow orders from President Obama rather than the Constitution and the rule of law. The responses Ms. Lynch gave at her confirmation hearing are alarming and\u00a0 disqualify her from becoming the next Attorney General.<\/p>\n First, Ms. Lynch took the\u00a0radical position<\/a>\u00a0that illegal aliens have the \u201cright\u201d to work \u201cregardless of how they came here,\u201d a position that is contrary to current law. Additionally, she said President Obama\u2019s executive amnesty is \u201clegal and constitutional,\u201d after dodging the straight forward question at least 15 times. Finally, Ms. Lynch refused to identify any limitation of prosecutorial discretion, suggesting that she will be a willing participant in President Obama\u2019s unconstitutional amnesty scheme. \u00a0A vote for Loretta Lynch, after she openly embraced unconstitutional amnesty, makes any Senator voting in the affirmative complicit in the President\u2019s lawlessness.<\/p>\n Therefore, FAIR urges a NO vote on Loretta Lynch\u2019s nomination and will include it in FAIR\u2019s Voting Report<\/a>.
