It is unpleasant, according to the Secretary of Homeland Security to deport criminal illegal aliens and says that technically the illegals who are here are in his estimation “essentially citizens” because they can get drivers licenses.
Addressing the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum Monday night, he also said that the U.S. doesn’t have “open borders,” but added that deporting criminal aliens and others targeted for removal isn’t pleasant.
Johnson said that deportations have dropped because he wants the focus only on criminals, but even then he isn’t a fan of deporting illegals.
“While the number of deportations in the last several years have gone down dramatically, because I’ve told our immigration enforcement personnel to to focus on the convicted criminals, we have a border security obligation to return people after they’ve gone through the process, gone through the litigation process, they’ve litigated their asylum claims, and they have been ordered deported by a court, and if they are our priorities we have to send them back.
“Is it pleasant? Absolutely not. But as long as we have the obligation to enforce the law, we must enforce the law. We can’t have open borders. I know that disappoints many people, but we can’t have open borders,” said Johnson.
Johnson basically says the enforcing the law in an obligation, but implies that he does not want to do it. He is “not a fan” of deportation and plans on being in the front row to hear the case before the Supreme Court that it would consider a legal challenge to President Obama’s over reach of executive power in his overhaul of the nation’s immigration rules.

You see what you get when you check out of the process fellow (real) citizens of the USA. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
No, the state’s who allow them to vote, allow them to practice law and allow them to obtain driver’s licenses are breaking the law. Allowing someone to break the law dose not make them legal citizens.
Illegal. …look up the definition
They are Illegals.
This guy has to go. He has foreign ties and he is compromised.
Another Obama moron
