Loretta Lynch: Illegal Aliens Have Right To Work As Much As American Citizens
breitbart ^ | 1/28/15 | m boyle

Posted on 01/28/2015 11:19:26 AM PST by bestintxas

President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States, Loretta Lynch, said on Wednesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing that she thinks illegal aliens have the same right to work in America as American citizens do.

“Senator, I believe the right and the obligation to work is one that is shared by everyone in this country, regardless of how they came here,” Lynch said when asked by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who has a greater right to work: Illegal aliens, or lawful immigrants and American citizens?

“Certainly, if someone is here—regardless of status—I would prefer that they be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace,” Lynch said.

She also said she doesn’t believe that Obama’s executive action on immigration is an “amnesty.”

AG nominee Loretta Lynch today :”Illegal Aliens Have Right To Work As Much As American Citizens....“Certainly, if someone is here—regardless of status—I would prefer that they be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace,” Lynch said.
She also said she doesn’t believe that Obama’s executive action on immigration is an “amnesty.””

Well, who can argue with that logic?

BTW The employer Obamacare mandate doesn't apply to them, so that's like employers getting a special tax credit for hiring illegals instead of YOU!

The Libs support a “right to work” for everyone – except in Right-to-work States ....

If Cruz & Lee are the only ‘nay’ votes, they’ll be called every name in the book AND Cruz will run on his nay vote in 2016.

That’s how screwed up the DOJ will be by then IMO.

Is this any surprise? No chance obama would nominate anyone with a sane approach to governance.

” Immediate grounds for disqualification as AG, the person who is charged in this country to enforce laws. “

She is advocating the breaking of our laws.

“Right to Work” for illegals? I wonder if she can cite a law or legal precedent? Oh wait! This administration just “wings it”.

Then what’s the point of American citizenship? The right to fund illegals?

How an any Republican or Democrat looking to get reelected approve Lynch?! She should be summarily and unnanimously dismissed. Anyone approving her should be challenged and defeated in next election.

“They missed a sweet opportunity of asking her “how many countries permit people there unlawfully to work?”

The answer is that the only countries that permit it are failed states, with little or no government.”

No, not even *failed* states allow illegals to work. NO COUNTRY allows illegals to work!!

I have a right to stay in the Lynch guest room, eat the Lynches’ food, spend the Lynches’ money, and drive the Lynch car...regardless of how I came to the Lynch home. Whether they invited me, or I sneaked in like a thief in the night, doesn’t matter, right?

BTW : Now that GOPe has control of the Senate they can filibuster her with only 40 votes again if they want to. No doubt they can get 40 noes.

Why is our entire political leadership determined to destroy the country? It just makes me sick.
