Illegal immigrants have 'earned the right to be U.S. citizens', says Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson

This coming from the guy responsible for protecting our borders? 

Daily Mailreports illegal immigrants must be able to become citizens in order to keep America safe, the man charged with protecting the country has declared.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said that around 11 million people who are in the country illegally have 'earned the right to be citizens'.

Mr Johnson said: '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.

'It is also, frankly, in my judgment, a matter of who we are as Americans.

He used his speech to more than 270 mayors at the United States Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. to call for 'comprehensive, common sense, immigration reform'.
