Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama endorsed Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's campaign on Sunday.
Trump announced the endorsement alongside Sessions at a massive campaign rally in Madison, Alabama.
"At this time in America's history, we need to make America great again!" Sessions exclaimed, echoing Trump's campaign slogan. "I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States."
Sessions, known for his hard-line stance against illegal immigration, is popular in some conservative circles.
Sen. Ted Cruz, another presidential candidate, frequently invoked Sessions in order to defend his record on immigration. On Sunday, Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge called Sessions the "conservative soul" of the US Senate.
Several other notable politicians have also recently thrown their support to Trump, though another GOP candidate, Marco Rubio, has grabbed the lion's share of recent endorsements from elected officials.
Last Friday, former presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Trump. And former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, whose own record on illegal immigration once caused a national firestorm, announced her support for Trump on Saturday.
The Trump campaign emailed reporters the following statement hailing Sessions' endorsement:
Today Donald J. Trump received the endorsement of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Senator Sessions is widely recognized as the nation's most highly respected official on the issue of illegal immigration.
Mr. Trump stated, "I am deeply honored to have the endorsement of Senator Jeff Sessions, leader of congressional conservatives. He has been called the Senate's indispensable man and the gold standard. He led the fight against the Gang of Eight, against Obama's trade deal, against Obama's judges, and for American sovereignty. He has stood up to special interests as few have. There is no more respected man in Congress and we are closely aligned on many issues, including trade and illegal immigration, and I am proud to consider Jeff Sessions an advisor, friend and ally."
Mr. Trump and Senator Sessions surprised the massive crowd at the frontrunner's Alabama rally just days before Super Tuesday Primary contest.
Senator Sessions added, "I am thrilled today to offer my endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President. This election is our last chance to save U.S. sovereignty and to end the domination of the political establishment over the interests of working Americans. Trump alone has rejected the donor class, defending America's jobs and wages from open borders, uncontrolled immigration and the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership that will cede U.S. authority to foreign powers. Trump's trade and immigration plans will revitalize our shrinking middle class, keeping jobs and wealth and income inside the United States of America. Trump understands that a nation must always place the interests of its own people first."
Senator Sessions continued, "We are nearing fast the point of no return. The people are hurting. Their wages are declining. Their schools are overburdened. Their hospitals are stretched past the breaking point. Crime is up, and community confidence is down. Americans of all backgrounds and ethnicities, immigrant and US-born, are crying out for leadership that puts their needs first, that takes care of those living and dreaming here today, leadership that understands that there is no constituency other than the American constituency. Mr. Trump is that leader.
We are witnessing an incredible movement, arising from the people.
The events of history have aligned to give the people this fleeting chance to bust up the oligarchy - to take back control from the 'Masters of the Universe' return it to the good and decent and patriotic citizens of the United States."
Ukrainian authorities have agreed to the settlement of the first instalment of migrants from Syria in the town of Yahotin near Kiev.
Refugees will be accommodated in the hostel, which was originally built for victims of Chernobyl.
Deputy of the Kyiv Oblast Council Armen Saharanc provided this information.
"Rich Europe refuses to accept refugees but for impoverished Ukraine, even in a State of war - it's no problem. Yahotyn is a small town and 250 refugees will become a nightmare for us: diseases, widespread drug addiction in the East, inadequate behavior of refugees as we have seen in Europe; oh, and their perception of the local population, the risk that they will call us racists; we have many hot heads here too. Construction of the Center has eaten already more than one million grivens. In Ukraine there are more than a million of our own refugees. Ukrainians themselves are looking for opportunities to go somewhere to escape. And we are getting ready to accept refugees. At a time when hundreds of families, including ATO veterans, are standing in line to receive housing. But nobody cares about public opinion, " he wrote on his social network page.
The day before a meeting of local residents opposing the appearance of migrants was held in Yahotin
Natalia Naumenko, representing the Ukrainian migration service, said that the
settlement of Syrians is required by agreement with the European Union in Kiev.
According to her, the EU will allocate money for the provision of the refugees. "It's all
for more money and jobs for the community," the official argues.
As if Ukraine did not have enough problems, now it is a victim of the disastrous Middle Eastern policy of the USA and its European lackeys.

The technology giant has quietly created a hardware development center in Israel, where engineers are crafting top-secret future products; it has so far invested $1.2 billion in Israel and continue to eagerly recruit new Israeli employees.
Apple CEO Tim Cook visits the offices in Herzliya Pituach
The conference room where Johny Srouji meets us overlooks the landscape of the hi-tech buildings of Herzliya Pituach. Laid out on the white table, as if in an intricate military ceremony, are the most glittering gadgets Apple released last year: iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro and the new MacBook computer - aligned side by side, spaced accurately. Steve Jobs, Apple's late founder, who was known for his obsessive zeal for aesthetics, would probably be proud. "Apple's core values dating from Jobs' period remain unchanged to this day," Srouji tells us. "Value number one at Apple is to provide customers with products that enrich their lives, and the best way to do this is by using a beautiful design, the best hardware and the best software. We possess mastery over all these areas, thus providing the best experience. This is what makes us unique." Although Srouji, an international expert in advanced technologies, is virtually unknown in Israel, he is one of the most influential Israeli executives in the global technology industry. Last December, he was promoted to senior vice president of hardware technologies at Apple. The meaning of this title is membership in Apple's highest administrative ranks - an honor reserved for ten people only, including the legendary super-designer Jonathan Ive and director of global marketing Philip Schiller. Besides, Srouji is also responsible for the establishment of Apple's development center in Israel.
At the end of 2011, Apple - under the leadership of Tim Cook, who replaced Steve Jobs as CEO following his illness - secretly decided to set up a hardware development center in Israel. This was rooted in the company's strategic decision to start independently developing hardware and chipsets for its own mobile phones, eschewing the reliance on other manufacturers that is customary in the industry. To that end, Apple had to expand its hardware engineering program and identify knowledge centers outside the United States. It was Srouji who brought Israel to the attention of Apple's management. "We had hardware development centers in Cupertino and Austin, and came to the conclusion that Israel has a foundation of technological expertise thanks to its many universities and startups. We saw that there was innovation, ideas and capabilities," Srouji says in the first exclusive interview he gave to Israeli media.
"When Steve was the CEO, he greatly supported the idea of setting up a research and development center in Israel," continues Srouji. "Tim Cook, who replaced him, is also very supportive of the center and technologies we developed in Israel. He even visited here last February, which indicates how much enthusiastic he is on the subject."
At almost the same time as that decision, Apple made its first purchase of an Israeli start-up: Anobit, in Herzliya, which was purchased for an estimated $400 million. "We decided to purchase Anobit because we found it had the expertise and technology we wanted," Srouji says. The next task, and perhaps the most important one , was to find a director for the development's center. "The first thing you need when setting up a new development center is a good manager with the necessary skills and cultural fit," explains Srugi. Aharon Aharo, an esteemed veteran manager in the chip industry, was chosen for the prestigious post. The two knew each other well, as Aharon was Srouji's professor at the Israel Institute of Technology. "He is a very talented person with outstanding capabilities," says Srouji. "I knew him and his personality and knew he would suit us very well."
Laughing with employees And so, almost under the media's radar, Apple began investing in Israel. The company reveals to us the first time that it has so far invested a huge sum of $1.2 billion and employs 800 locals, most of them hardware and software engineers, 400 of whom were recruited in the last two years alone. Apple also acquired two other companies for hundreds of millions of dollars, and a year ago opened a magificent office building in Herzliya Pituach, as well as a branch that occupies several floors in Haifa. It continues to eagerly recruit employees according to its evolving needs.
If the high-tech nation needed additional reinforcement to what is already said about the Israeli engineer's mind, it received that ultimate confirmation. When a company as esteemed as Apple opens its first hardware development center in Israel, it is not only a cause for pride, but also a step of immense economic value to the Israeli economy and the high tech industry in general - certainly if Apple continues to expand its operations here in the future, as it declares explicitly.
So how is it possible that many Israelis did not even hear about Apple's development activities in Israel? The answer is, of course, the company's policy of secrecy, made in Steve Jobs' image. CEO Tim Cook recently admitted in an interview with US TV show "60 Minutes" that "Apple is more secretive than the CIA". He's not kidding: the company has been in Israe since March 2012 and only this month gave journalists a glimpse into its inner sanctum and allowed its senior ranks to be interviewed by the Israeli media.
