FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM

FAIR opposes the confirmation of Loretta Lynch for Attorney

General
April 16, 2015

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (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 FAIRs Voting Report.
The highest duty of the nations 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 disqualify her from
becoming the next Attorney General. First, Ms. Lynch took the radical position that illegal aliens have
the right to work regardless of how they came here, a position that is contrary to current law.
Additionally, she said President Obamas executive amnesty is legal and constitutional, 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 Obamas
unconstitutional amnesty scheme.
A vote for Loretta Lynch, after she openly embraced unconstitutional amnesty, makes any Senator
voting in the affirmative complicit in the Presidents lawlessness. Therefore, FAIR urges a NO vote on
Loretta Lynchs nomination and will include it in FAIRs Voting Report.
