Napolitano: DHS Authorizing Illegal Aliens to Work in U.S.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that under the administration's policy of exercising "prosecutorial discretion" in the enforcement of the immigration laws, her department is currently authorizing some illegal aliens to work in the United States.Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, asked Napolitano: "According to the information from your department, some individuals who are given relief will obtain work authorizations. So people with no right to be in the country will be allowed to work here. Is that correct?" Bah. Just a drop in an ocean. There are around 8 million illegal aliens working in the US. That equates to 5.2% of the 154 million jobs in the US w/ an "official" (read "bullshit") unemployment rate of 9.1%. BTW, there are 100,000 fewer jobs in the civilian work force than 1 year ago while the population has grown by 3 million. I.e. the US must add 1.5 million new jobs just to tread water.
