Napolitano Reiterates Amnesty Push at Congressional Hearing to Applause from Open Border Groups
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano reiterated the Obama administration's intent to push for an amnesty next year at a Congressional hearing this week. Napolitano repeated her earlier arguments that enforcement alone was not a solution to the problem of illegal immigration. Frank Sharry with America's Voice said, "We are encouraged by the Administration's continued commitment to advancing immigration reform next year, as well as Senator Leahy's remarks and the work of other Congressional champions such as Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) who are gearing up for early action in 2010."
