White House Fumble: Admit to Naturalizing “Illegals” for Fourth of July!

White House Fumble: Admit to Naturalizing “Illegals” for Fourth of July!

White House Fumble: Admit to Naturalizing "Illegals" for Fourth of July!
The new Press Secretary admits President Obama will naturalize “illegals” in his Fourth of July address! Was this a Freudian slip or a White House fumble?  This is a goof of great proportions.
The Washington Times reports that Mr. Earnest decided to take it upon himself to accidentally leak plans that may effect our very nation and immigration structure.
In a slip of the tongue, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that President Obama will naturalize “illegal” immigrants in a ceremony on Independence Day.
Mr. Earnest was discussing the naturalization ceremony scheduled for Friday when he told reporters that Mr. Obama believes it is appropriate for the commander-in-chief “to naturalize those individuals who are in this country illegally — uh legally — who signed up to join the military to defend this country.”
“That is a pretty strong testament to the values that are held by those immigrants,” he said. “I can tell you that the president is genuinely looking forward to it.”
This is not a joke. Live Leak caught part of President Obama’s plans to naturalize another 9000 citizens tomorrow.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will naturalize nearly 9,000 new American citizens this Independence Day week, USCIS announced Tuesday. “We’re honored to celebrate Independence Day by welcoming new U.S. citizens at ceremonies across the United States,” USCIS Acting Director Lori Scialabba said in a statement. “It’s our pleasure to celebrate the fulfillment of their dreams of citizenship at the same time we celebrate the birth of our country.”
The ceremonies will be taking place at landmarks and public libraries across the country, including one President Obama will hold at the White House for service members who are not yet Americans.
Obama said he would be hosting the naturalization ceremony during his speech in the Rose Garden Monday in which he announced he plans to reform the nation’s immigration laws unilaterally through administrative action.
“They were prepared to fight and die for an America they did not yet fully belong to. I think they’ve earned their stripes in more ways than one. And that’s why on Friday morning we’re going to naturalize them in a ceremony right here at the White House. This Independence Day will be their first day as American citizens,” Obama said Monday.
~Live Leak
So while he is purging thousands of loyal Americans from the Military, he plans on naturalizing around 9.000+ to our armed services. Who knows where their loyalties lie? Any bets they will fire on American Citizens?
