Sessions on border policy

The U.S. Attorney General recently quoted scripture to justify the administration’s actions at the border.

Apparently he overlooked this scripture from the Old Testament, Zechariah 7:9 -10: “Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassion every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”

Et tu, Mr. Sessions?
