Sen. Jeff Sessions said Thursday Hillary Clinton's support of open borders is the "smoking gun" of the current presidential election.
The Republican lawmaker spoke with Breitbart News Daily about the leaked transcripts of Clinton's Wall Street speeches.
"It's a smoking gun," Sessions said. "Years ago it finally dawned on me: I used to say, and still do, the Democrats and liberals will pass any immigration bill as long as it doesn't work."
Sessions took the conversation deeper, saying Democrats are opposed to nation borders — the exact opposite of how Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump feels.
"They don't believe in borders. This is a deep philosophical question and the answer is crystal clear," Sessions said. "You can't operate in this world today with open borders. Give me a break. You could spend hours explaining why. They never say it publicly because they know they can't defend it."
Border security has been one of the hallmarks of Trump's presidential campaign since the day he announced his candidacy. He has vowed to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border.
