This past Friday DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson stated at the United States Conference of Mayors that the approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”
“An earned path to citizenship for those currently present in this country is a matter of, in my view, homeland security to encourage people to come out from the shadows,” said Johnson.
“It is also, frankly, in my judgment, a matter of who we are as Americans,” he said, “to offer the opportunity to those who want to be citizens, who’ve earned the right to be citizens, who are present in this country–many of whom came here as children–to have the opportunity that we all have to try to become American citizens.”
So the Dept of Homeland ‘Security’ doesn’t want to ‘secure’ our borders, surprised?
Speaking at the United States Conference of Mayors on Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”
“An earned path to citizenship for those currently present in this country is a matter of, in my view, homeland security to encourage people to come out from the shadows,” said Johnson, in what he remarked was one of his first public speeches since being confirmed as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief in December.
“It is also, frankly, in my judgment, a matter of who we are as Americans,” he said, “to offer the opportunity to those who want to be citizens, who’ve earned the right to be citizens, who are present in this country–many of whom came here as children–to have the opportunity that we all have to try to become American citizens.”
Here’s an obvious question: How exactly did illegal immigrants “earn” their right to be citizens? Their first act on American soil was breaking the law and they have continued to break the law every moment they’ve been here. Many of them broke the law again by faking a Social Security number. Many of them either didn’t pay taxes at all or lied on their taxes to get earned income tax credits they didn’t deserve. They go to emergency rooms and get “free” health care they don’t pay for; their kids go to schools they don’t pay taxes on; they collect welfare and food stamps to give to kids who should have never been in our country either; they take jobs that would have otherwise gone to American citizens while they drive down wages — but, they deserve citizenship?
What illegal aliens actually DESERVE is deportation, which has been and SHOULD BE the penalty for coming to the United States illegally. Until we get more politicians in D.C. in BOTH parties who understand that, nothing of significance will be done about illegal immigration.
NO NO NO
At what authority gives you the right to that determination? Not in your purview. Worry about trying to understand your job.
I guess this idiot flunked English in school because he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “ILLEGAL”. Just another Obama ass licker that got his job because he is an idiot.
One more of many that hate this country and want to make it into a 3rd world country filled those that also hate the country. The majority of legal and illegals are only here for the benefits they receive and have no intent to assimilate in any way.
they havent earned anything,instead they are stealing everything they can get their greedy hands on! Dreamers,yeah dreaming of free hand outs !
And our corrupt government has earned the right to be called “Treasonous, Liars, Thieves and Pieces of $#%&!@*, who all need to be shot by firing squad”. Time for another revolution !!
Just another obama stooge and clown
They have not earned anything they are criminals now
no way in hell, if they come through thefront dor, and doall the paperwork, then we willwelcome them, but to come in through the borderilegially, then they are criminals
If I break the law I will “earn the right” to go to jail…. the break the law they (illegals) earn the right to be leaches on the American society= what a bunch of SH*T
