Sessions: ‘Everyone that Enters the Country Unlawfully Is Subject To Being Deported’

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Even though he hasn’t kept the specific commitment right there, the president did say, as I said, this week, to the Associated Press, that the Dreamers should rest easy. He’s not going after the Dreamers. That’s his policy, he said.

Is it the policy of the Justice Department?

SESSIONS: That — the Homeland Security has primary jurisdiction there. Their first and strongest priority, no doubt about it, is the criminal element that we have in our country that have come here illegally. So they’re focusing primarily on that and there’s no doubt the president has sympathy for young people who were brought here at early ages.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So they can rest easy?

SESSIONS: Well, we’ll see.
