Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that under the administration’s policy of exercising “prosecutorial discretion” in the enforcement of the immigration laws, her department is currently authorizing some illegal aliens to work in the United States.
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, asked Napolitano: “According to the information from your department, some individuals who are given relief will obtain work authorizations. So people with no right to be in the country will be allowed to work here. Is that correct?”
Napolitano said: “Well, senator, since around 1986 there has been a process where those who are technically unlawfully in the country may apply for work authorization. This goes to CIS [Citizenship and Immigration Services]. It's not an ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] or CBP [Customs and Border Protection] function. And those cases are reviewed by CIS in a case-by-case basis. So there’s no change in that process. Like I said, that goes back to the mid-80s that is contemplated now.”

The sell out super size
Yesterday they announced that DC cops were not allowed to ask about citizenship.
Well, when that crew is out, perhaps the incoming admin will have enough conservatives to use prosecution discretion of their own. And prosecute every last rat that broke our laws while in office.
And let the libs and race baiters scream and riot. Then prosecute them. This has to end. These communists must be held to account. All of them.
I'm sure they'll say they misspoke any moment now. /s
There has. Far too much, in fact. The Obama regime twists the law to fit its own agenda, congressional action, intention or authorization be damned.
The next time a Republican congress and a Republican president are in office together, something needs to be done to crack down on obvious abuses of discretion as we've seen by this administration.
The arrogant, childish, egotistical scofflaw "dream" students the press always finds for its pieces should be deported and barred from reentry.
They seek to break down the law.
If you don’t already know where this nasty commie ho is coming from, as soon as the votes were counted in 2008 and Barack the Assassin was confirmed the winner, she turned those bass turds from the SEIU loose on the State of Arizona employees. Napolitano is scum.
