DHS: No regrets for bypassing Congress on immigration
The Blaze ^ | 04/28/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate Tuesday that he has no regrets at all for going around Congress to implement President Barack Obama’s several immigration-related executive actions.

“Do you regret the actions that you and the administration have taken that have gotten us to this point?” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked Johnson at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“No, I do not, senator,” Johnson replied. “I believe that the undocumented population in this country, at least half of which has been here more than 10 years, has to be reckoned with. We know they’re here, and they are not priorities for removal.”

“There are millions of people in this country who are not priorities for removal,” he added. “There are dozens of states that allow them to have drivers’ licenses.”

“No regrets” = “no shame”.

Cornyn, by his actions, has indicated that he agrees with the DHS position on immigration - he just is not as vocal about it.

Why would anyone in the corrupt Indonesian Tyrant’s
caliphate care about circumventing Congress or the
US Constitution (RIP)?

The remarkable thing is that the reprehensible,
always lying, always complicit GOP (undocumented
Democrats for the most part) also do not care.

So, because he “believes” something, he is exempted him from functioning within the rule of law. What if I believe something?

They can all still be deported. Any illegal regardless of the actions from Obama are
and always will be here illegally. They must be granted status by the houses so anything
done outside of that is voided.

IOW, the police cannot rule a person not-guilty of a crime over a court.

Obama is only getting away with this because the GOP/RNC agrees with him.

So this is what it feels like to live in a country that lost a major war and is under occupation by its enemy.

Obama has surrounded himself with idiots who are useful. One or two who were not totally lost have resigned.

That is exactly the problem, our Government has grown to big and like bored
little kids there's to many and not enough to do. Their answer is to meddle
into affairs to make a name for themselves. We can start by eliminating 40% of
our Government. Not the military.

“at least half of which has been here more than 10 years”

Another bald-faced lie from the Obamanites.

“Do you regret the actions that you and the administration have taken that have gotten us to this point ‘where terrorists have come in through your programs and detonated nuclear bombs in our major cities, killing tens of thousands of American citizens?’”

“No, I do not, senator,” Johnson replied.
