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.
Notice the words he speaks, ” in my view,” “in my judgement.” In other words, the law doesn’t matter, we’re going to do what we want. This is the democrat party. If we survive this,there should never be another democrat elected or appointed to any office. You all are so right on in your comments, but the mistake we make, is thinking they’re stupid, they are not, this has always been the plan. Our problem is, we can’t believe anyone would want to destroy the best country in the world. Liberalism,communism,socialism,egalitarianism, and humanism, on full display. This is what immigrants once came to this country to escape,now it’s here, and there’s no place else to run. We have to win this fight or else say goodbye to America. It’s that serious.
And do criminals, say murderers and rapists have the right to freedom because they haven’t broken any other laws? IDIOT!
Total B.S.!!!
Until the Democrats, we was a land of laws. Now land of “view’s and personal “judgment’s”. Lets get back to the Land of laws. Vote for Republicans or Independents.
I DON”T think so!!!
The operative word is illegal they do not belong here, send back ASAP
They have not EARNED anything! They have illegally taken millions of our tax dollars to treat their diseases, feed them, house them, educate them and put up with their other crimes against us as individuals. WE OWE THEM NOTHING!
Bahahaha…then tax them like everyone else….No handouts.
that’s like saying a drug dealer has earned the right to be a pharmacist
Listen, $#%&!@* Johnson, your “opinion” does not mean a damn thing to patriotic American’s who respect, and are aware of immigration laws, currently on the books, that state entering this country illegally is a crime. We do not give a $#%&!@* about your “opinion”, and if you can not live up to your oath to support our laws, submit your resignation. Personally, I think Obama, you, and all the Senators, Reps., judges, and traitors that support violating our Constitution and Bill of Rights should be arrested and charged with treason and sedition. People like you would have been jailed by our Founding Father’s before you got two words out of your mouth. Perhaps in the future, our Oath Keepers will rise up and defend our country from both foreign and domestic enemies.
