(CNSNews.com) – Speaking at the United States Conference of Mayors on Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”
“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,” said Johnson, in what he remarked was one of his first public speeches since being confirmed as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief in December.
“It is also, frankly, in my judgment, a matter of who we are as Americans,” he said, “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.”

Immigrants who come here and WORK are more entitled to be citizens than the millions of lazy do-nothings who were born here.
I say let anyone who works and pays taxes stay, kick everyone else out (born here or not).
We have in place immigration laws and procedures for gaining Citizenship. Notice "Citizenship" is capitalized. If they followed these procedures, fine. If they just came here to camp out their lives, they have "earned" nothing but a free ride home to their country of origin.
Na uh!
