"We have to accept the fact that we have 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in this country," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. "We have to deal with that. I don't think we should allow them to exist in a state of legal ambiguity or in a dark hole."
Johnson noted that some states now issue drivers' licenses to undocumented immigrants, and he also mentioned that they can practice law in California. "So they're not going away. They're not going to self-deport. I would rather see us reckon with this population than continue in the state of legal ambiguity we're in right now."

"There is no legal ambiguity," Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) told Johnson.
"These 11.4 million...they're not here in a lawful status, correct?" Collins asked.
"For the most part, that's correct," Johnson responded.
"No, no, are they here in a lawful status or not?" Collins pressed. "You can't have it both ways. If they're here in a legal status, then they're not undocumented...they're here legally, if they have some form of legal status."
Collins said there's nothing legally ambiguous about people who are undocumented and "not here properly. That's not a legal ambiguity," he insisted.
"I just don't think it's being very honest with the committee to say that there's legal ambiguity here. If there were, this would be a whole different discussion," Collins told Johnson.
But Johnson disagreed: "Sir, there is legal ambiguity in that they are here undocumented, but there are states that permit them to have driver's licenses. I consider that an ambiguous legal state. And we have to fix it. The system is broken. We're not going to deport 11-and-a-half million undocumented immigrants in this country. You and I both know that."
Johnson said he would "rather deal with this population, encourage them to be held accountable, encourage them to pay taxes, get on the books and get on an earned path to citizenship so that they go through the necessary background checks, they're in a position where they can work legally, and we reckon with this problem."
Collins asked Johnson if he would be willing to identify "any criminal alien released in Georgia since 2012 so I can provide appropriate oversight on behalf of the good citizens of my district."
"I believe we're in a position to do that, and I will do that, yes sir," Johnson said.
... how many are paid agents of foreign governments.
I have said it for a while. La Raza is a terrorist organization.
BEWARE THE CASTROS US Cong Julian Castro, San Antonio, his identical twin brother -- San Diego Mayor Julian Castro (making the rounds of presidential primary states)....and Mamsita Castro---Maria “Rosie” Castro--hardline La Raza activist.
Freshman Cong Joaquín Castro warned last year that if Speaker Boehner adhered to his promise to invoke the so-called Hastert rule, the House will not pass comprehensive immigration reform last year.
So I guess deferring amnesty will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's separatist plans for America, thank God.
God only knows how much govt money and Congressional tax money----from her sons----is going into furthering mamasita's La Raza activities.
San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro---2012 Democrat convention keynoter---genially introduced the twins' mother, Maria “Rosie” Castro to the convention-goers. Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist....a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded “La Raza."
(Julian is mentioned as a possible 2016 Dem VP candidate)
====================================================
AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING MAMASITA'S HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION BIGTIME: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.
LA RAZA schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.
In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.
LA RAZA TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).
===============================================
La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.
La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Written statements like that should be enough to pull all preferred status and tax exempt status from La Raza, as well as adding officers to no-fly lists, etc...mind boggling. (little humor, see tagline)
Asset forfeiture => self-deportation
Problem solved
