I don't like Sessions' views so much.
But ...
Saying you are cautious about the pace of immigration doesn't make you a racist. Looking for value-added immigrants doesn't make you a racist. The identity politics hits are unimpressive to me because they don't paint a complete picture of his views. Such and such happened in 1983 isn't a portrait. It's a brushstroke.
To my mind, the biggest problem is that he is an extremely partisan politician and an AG ought to seem more dispassionate. He must be seen to be a rational and trustworthy steward of the law. I don't think Sessions can be, given his beliefs.
