Homeland Security Secretary: Illegals Have ‘Earned Right to be Citizens'

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Homeland Security Secretary: Illegals Have ‘Earned Right to be Citizens' (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/26/2014 3:17:15 AM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – 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.”

And he has quickly earned the right to be labeled "just another zero moronic lacky".

Can I earn other things by doing illegal stuff.

Maybe speeding will earn me cash. Then I can just drive around instead of going to work.

How exactly did they earn it? Coming here illegally and working under the table?

They have earned the right to GTFO and apply like every other legal immigrant.

I'm sorry there's rules on immigration for a reason and if they don't have to follow them neither should I be forced to follow the rules I dislike.

As a legal immigrant I respectfully disagree. I also disrespectfully disagree you dick.

Illegals can "Earn" the "Right" to become citizens by going back to their country of origin, and applying for a legal visa. THEY should show they can be good citizens by not waiting for the existing laws to change, and hiding out!

The worst part is , we know it, and we cant do shit about it.

It's not just the Dems who want the votes. The US Chamber of Commerce (Rep business interests) wants as many illegal aliens as possible so they can get cheap labor.

A pox on both of them. We citizens are just pawns in their money, power and control game.

At some point the government is going to lose legitimacy with even the dumbasses who voted the current ass hats into office. I think we could be approaching that point.

Long ago when I had my own business the Chamber was a joke, dues that gained me nothing and was filled with good ole boys, the sales pitch was they would network with you and bring you business, right, never happened once. I left after 4 years as I saw zero gains.

That would imply some form of respect for the constituency. No, we're pretty much their bitches now. The threat of bringing down the bureaucratic machine onto our heads for the most menial of reasons, and the tangible examples of same, will pretty much do that. It does not pay to be out of favor with the government.

If I go to all the trouble and effort to obtain a few cars, guns, masks and partners, then walk into a bank, have I earned whatever money I can get the tellers to pack into a bag?

I submit that I have not.

Depends on who you work for. If you're an independent, probably not. Enron kinda showed how that works. Everything is conditional.

I wonder if there are things citizens can earn by breaking the law? Maybe if you're likely to vote Democrat they'll come up with something.

Jeh Johnson is just another Democratic darling, career lawyer appointee. Mr. O has put the absolute worst people possible in positions of influence.

I have never understood why the few Republicans opposed to amnesty don't do more to highlight legal immigrants who have endured the system, paid the fees, and waited for years

Of course the number of them is smaller than 40 million, but math isn't a strong point of people who vote based on emotion.

I suppose all the Mexican drug smugglers, gangs, welfare moochers, ID thieves all have earned a right to be citizens? Pull your head out of your ass Jeh Johnson. Why don't you take a look inside the prison system or the county jails some time. A typical BHO appointee!
