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

Posted on 04/29/2015 8:12:47 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

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.”

Too bad in a future Administration, his final statement won’t be in response to the question “Do you have any last words?” These Obama functionaries are enemies of America and should face trial as enemy agents during a time of war.

We are paying for healthcare on everyone of these lawfully present immigrants.

To Congress:

Shitcan any and all civilian federal agencies who police the border, and put the US military in charge of all operations at the mexican border.

Anything less is the federal government capitulating to a foreign aggressor, and mexico is considered a foreign aggressor.

Baltimore mayor: Immigrant executive actions will help city

By Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (secretary of the Democratic National Committee)

November 25, 2014

Last week, President Barack Obama outlined his plan to protect millions of immigrants from deportation — a monumental first step in addressing our nation’s broken immigration system. His executive action will be felt most strongly in cities across America, cities like Baltimore.

(snip)

For this reason, earlier this year, I created the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant and Multicultural Affairs (MIMA) to promote community well-being, stimulate economic development and nurture the integration of immigrant communities. This new office grew out of a recommendation from our New Americans Task Force — a diverse group of stakeholders I organized last year to examine ways to incorporate immigrants as part of my goal to grow Baltimore by 10,000 families over the next decade. In September, the New Americans Task Force, in collaboration with MIMA and the Abell Foundation, released a report that includes 32 recommendations to further strengthen Baltimore as a welcoming place of economic opportunity and inclusion for immigrants, refugees and all those who wish for a better quality of life.

Cornyn asked a question he knew the answer to. He gave Johnson the opening to explain DHS’s actions.

... just another example of Holder’s ‘people’ who is in a position far above his Peter Principle level, who also believes that his arrogance (and probably his race) will somehow serve him well. Of course the GOP-e (Cornyn is a good example) pretty much agrees with Jeh.

To Jeh and his ilk I ask: “What if the illegals were coming for your job?”

I doubt they would be so cavalier about the 40mm undocumented democrats that are now here.

Obama's political-driven demographic attack on the USA isn't unprecedented.

After WWII, the Soviets moved hundreds of thousands of ethnic Russians into occupied Estonia to change that country's demographics. (Fortunately for the Estonians the Russians breed poorly, so their numbers haven't exceeded about one third the population.)

Similarly, an official of the British Labour party admitted that they opened the floodgates under Tony Blair, specifically for the purpose of permanently shifting the political makeup of the country.

Actually their actions have an effect on them - a positive one. As more Hispanics enter the voting rolls, more municipal, county, state, and U.S. congressional jobs, patronage and cash are moved permanently under Democrat control.

You “deal with them” by following the laws that are written and enacted, which includes DEPORTING THEM!

Anything else is a direct violation of your oath of office and should constitute reason for immediately removal - PERIOD!

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

they have to because if they oppose it, the RATS will come back with, "Ronald Reagan did it, so why cant we?"

This damn Gov since Obama took over has lost it. We are paying for the healthcare plus more of any foreign student who wants it. We have opened up every welfare program to these damn illegals under the (TPS) program. Obama has a gov site for folks who are from countries that have any war or strife going on to apply for Temporary Protected Status. Once they qualify they get every freebie those in the inner city get.

Cornyn is one of those RINO slimeballs that will vote for Cloture on a bill or confirmation then vote against it to say he was against it all the time.

...like Loretta Lynch
