Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump for president Sunday, saying that the Republican presidential candidate was the best choice to address illegal immigration into the U.S.

For Sessions, it's the first time he's endorsed a presidential candidate. The staunch conservative said that "for 30 years, politicians have promised to fix illegal immigration."
