New DHS chief endorses ‘earned’ citizenship idea

The new Homeland Security secretary says an earned path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally is a matter of national security.

It was the first time Jeh Johnson, who had little experience with immigration policy before he was appointed, had outlined his approach on the subject.

The Defense Department’s former top lawyer, who worked on U.S. drone policies and helped end the Pentagon’s ban on gays in the military, said offering a path to citizenship would encourage such immigrants “to come out of the shadow, to be accountable, to participate in the American experience.” …

Earned means applying legaly. They can make the word whatever they want it to be.

[struggle]

Lol, they’re trying any way possible to induce the Republicans to do this.

[RWGinger]

What utter BS
but the way it will be reported by media is once again
GOP hates immigrants
the low information voters will never get the truth or facts
and certainly won’t search for it

“Earned citizenship” is so much better than the natural kind.

After all, Mr. Obama told us how superior he was to those who were born into Christian families. He told us how he came to Jesus later in life through his mentor Jeremiah Wright by CHOICE.

Secretary can’t count. It’s more like 22-30million illegally here, not just “11 million”.

What does the DHS do exactly? Besides poking their camel nose into every tent
to get attention. What a waste of treasure.

Dear “Jeh”,

If someone breaks into your house - does he earn the right to be put on the deed? After all, he’s only trying to make a better life for himself and his family

Just wonderin’

[silverleaf]

Give the GOP some room here, they are trying to develop a category of legal residence without full citizenship

..... since most of these people didn’t sneak into America to vote

[BenLurkin]

I can earn citizenship by violating a nation’s laws?

Weird.

I can haz Mexican citizenship by being illegal alien there? Nope; I can haz jail cell though.
