Sheila Jackson Lee: 'Selfish' for America to Deny Illegals Amnesty, Work Permits

On Tuesday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said President Barack Obama's forthcoming unilateral action on immigration is not "amnesty" and declared that America would be "selfish" to deny illegal immigrants temporary work permits and amnesty.
Speaking on the House floor, Jackson Lee, who handed out candy to illegal immigrant juveniles this summer at detention centers, mentioned that Texas has 1.3 illegal immigrants and said she loves "living in a country that is known around the world for its humanitarian generosity." She said the illegal immigrants are working, paying taxes and love their children, some of whom are U.S. citizens or have been granted temporary amnesty. She urged Obama to "do the right thing" by using his "executive power to give humanitarian relief" to illegal immigrants.
