Napolitano: ‘This Is Not Amnesty’

In a conference call with reporters a short time ago to expound upon the Obama administration’s decision to defer enforcement action against young illegal immigrants determined to not be security risks, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the new policy is not amnesty.

“I believe this action is the right thing to do,” Napolitano said, adding that immigration laws “are not designed to be blindly enforced nor are they designed to remove productive young people to countries where they may have not lived or speak the language.”

“This is not immunity, this is not amnesty; it is an exercise of discretion,” she said, saying the prosecutorial discretion “which is used in so many other areas is especially justified here.”

I do not care if 'THEY' are productive or not ......... Illegal is Illegal

do you care if someone broke into your house, if they were productive doing the cooking and cleaning or not ..... the illegally entered your house
