Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, last Friday (January 24, 2014) said
that the approximately eleven and one half million illegal immigrants in the US
have "earned the right to be citizens." He actually said that!
Johnson also said:
It is also, frankly, in my judgment, a matter of who we are as Americans, to offer the opportunity to those who want to be citizens, who've earned the right to be citizens, who are present in this country - many of whom came here as children - to have the opportunity that we all have to try to become American citizens.
Johnson, in an effort to relate his remarks toimmigration reform and homeland security, continued:
Comprehensive immigration reform would also promote a more effective and efficient system for enforcing our immigration laws, and should include an earned path to citizenship for the approximately 11-and-a-half-million undocumented immigrants present in this country, something like 86% of whom have been here almost 10 years.
An earned path to citizenship for those currently present in this country is a matter of, in my view, homeland security to encourage people to come out from the shadows, to be accountable, to participate in the American experience, the American society.
What is truly amazing is that RINOs, like Senator John McCain (R-AZ), think, despite historical evidence, that if they support comprehensive immigration reform that Hispanics, mostly Mexicans, will support them. But history indicates otherwise:

Ronald Reagan, in 1986, supported amnesty for illegal aliens, yet the vote differential grew when George H.W. Bush ran for president! So, with the above fact and the two most recent vote differentials in mind, guess who will get credit with immigration reform. That's right, Democrats! The MSM will see to it.
