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.
11 million..People. Send them to Jeh Johnsons town.
Bull $#%&!@* !!!!!!!!! Deport. There asses and be done with the BS !!!!!!
Personally I prefer the OLD WAY of earning citizenship. So what if it takes time. If that person wants it badly enough they’ll do whatever it takes, no matter how long it takes. But to offer immediate citizenship with benefits????? What are those fools up there in DC thinking????? They SO don’t know what they’re doing!! Kindergartners would do a better job than the lot of them!
Speak for yourself Jeh Johnson, send them back and leave with them!
Explain exactly , HOW THEY EARNED THIS RIGHT ???
So will someone please tell me why these illegals have earn the right to be citizens? Isn’t that a slap in the face to the hard workers that came through the proper process to become citizens? They might want to ask those illegals how many of them want to be citizens. They might be surprised to find that they don’t want to be citizens because they won’t get all the freebies.
EARN?? wait they broke our immigration LAWS.. You dumb ass.. how have they earned anything except a trip to jail and a plane ticket back to the country they came from?
POS is right!!!!!!!
WHAT have they done to earn anything from this country..??? They collect wefare and Social Security, etc, AND the POS have not put anything back into the system..What the FU__ is wromg with that idiot..He is a liberal democratic obama suck ass….
Jeh Johnson can go $#%&!@* himself!! He won’t have any illegals living in his gated community or have to worry about his family unlike the rest of us. He lives in a make believe world. The only thing they have “earned” is a trip back to where they came from.
