Obama DHS Sec: Dem POTUS Candidates Pushing ‘Unwise,’ ‘Unworkable’ Plans for ‘Open Borders’
TONY LEE3 Jul 2019


Jeh Johnson, former President Barack Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary, warned Democrats running for president on Tuesday evening that calling for the decriminalization of illegal immigration will alienate a majority of Americans who oppose “open borders.”

Johnson made his remarks after Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday vowed to “virtually eliminate immigrant detention” through executive orders. Booker introduced his immigration plan days after Julian Castro, the former San Antonio mayor who served as Obama’s Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, had his breakout moment of the 2020 election cycle during the last week’s presidential debate when he called for Section 1325 of the U.S. immigration code to be eliminated so that illegal border crossings will be decriminalized.

“That is tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders,” Johnson told theWashington Post. “That is unworkable, unwise and does not have the support of a majority of American people or the Congress, and if we had such a policy, instead of 100,000 apprehensions a month, it will be multiples of that.”

What's gotten into this Jeh Johnson guy lately, anyway?

He's talking more common sense than any other democrat-communist around.
