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.
Rewarding illegal behavior; hallmark of this administration.
well then i want free housing and food stamps and a nice car and full cover insurance,we should get it before them,let them come here thn and work and support us otherwise secure our borders and make them do it the right way just like the other countries who want to come here that wait patiently
Jeh Johnson do you know how many illegals who used to be scared of being deported now are raping beating drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter have gone up a bunch due to your lax laws , oh but your not living around them . Freaks secure our borders .
What???
Send them to D.C. to live.
OH NO !!!
They earned nothing !!! They are ILLEGAL INVADERS !!! Send them back where they come from !!!!!!
The illegals DID NOT have the right in this country and never will.May they burn on the last days in the fire and brimstone sent down from heaven by God and all those who support this evil act by Satan will die with hime to burn and be left as ashes at the feet of the redeemer.
I came into this country legally and it took me many years to get my green crd then moere years for my US citizenship, going through many red tapes, interviews, test of my knowledge about American history,ect.ect. Why would these illegal aliens who do not speak English have to have it so damn easy ????????????????????????????????????
the word is ILLEGAL— THEY NEED TO BE SENT BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM– they broke our laws by not coming in legally go hme
