at the Oxford Union <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Union> in November 2012, shortly before his resignation, Johnson delivered a widely noted address entitled "The conflict against al Qaeda and its affiliates: how will it end?" in which he predicted a "tipping point" at which the U.S. government's efforts against al Qaeda should no longer be considered an armed conflict, but a more traditional law enforcement effort against individual terrorists. Johnson stated:
"War" must be regarded as a finite, extraordinary and unnatural state of affairs. War permits one man—if he is a "privileged belligerent," consistent with the laws of war—to kill another. War violates the natural order of things, in which children bury their parents; in war parents bury their children. In its 12th year, we must not accept the current conflict, and all that it entails, as the "new normal." Peace must be regarded as the norm toward which the human race continually strives. The Oxford Union speech received widespread press attention,[29] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson#cite_note-29> and editorial acclaim as the first such statement coming from an Obama administration official.[30] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson#cite_note-30> Robert Gates <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gates>, Secretary of Defense under presidents George W. Bush and Obama, said that Johnson "proved to be the finest lawyer I ever worked with in government—a straightforward, plain-speaking man of great integrity, with common sense to burn and a good sense of humor" and that he "trusted and respected him like no other lawyer I had ever worked with."[31] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson#cite_note-31> Department of Homeland Security On December 16, 2013, Johnson was confirmed to be the fourth U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Secretary_of_Homeland_Security>. He was sworn in on December 23, 2013.[32] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson#cite_note-32> *The Washington Post <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post>* reported "Johnson, an African-American <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American>, would bring further racial diversity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_%28politics%29> to Obama's Cabinet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmations_of_Barack_Obama%27s_Cabinet>." Following an influx of illegal immigrants <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigrants>, many children, from Central America during the summer of 2014 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_American_immigration_crisis>, Johnson has taken the position that most who choose to cross the border illegally "will be sent home.” This has generated some criticism that the department he oversees is not necessarily considering humanitarian cases for asylum as it is legally obliged to.[33] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson#cite_note-33> On Monday, January 26, 2015 at 3:21:48 PM UTC-6, Travis wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/criminal-dhs-director-jeh-johnson-says-the-days-of-enforcing-immigration-law-in-the-united-states-are-over > > > > *Criminal DHS Director Jeh Johnson Says The Days Of Enforcing Immigration > Law In The United States Are Over > <http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/criminal-dhs-director-jeh-johnson-says-the-days-of-enforcing-immigration-law-in-the-united-states-are-over>* > > January 24, 2015 > <http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/criminal-dhs-director-jeh-johnson-says-the-days-of-enforcing-immigration-law-in-the-united-states-are-over>/ > > RedFlag > <http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/?author=4f60cca2e4b038b91f994304> > > <img src=" > http://static1.squarespace.com/static/4f34530ecb12e336a9dfe29c/t/54c48a9fe4b03be87107f8e0/1422166691198/"; > > />[image: > http://static1.squarespace.com/static/4f34530ecb12e336a9dfe29c/t/54c48a9fe4b03be87107f8e0/1422166691198/?format=750w] > > *(by Rick Wells, GOP The Daily Dose)* > <http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/01/23/criminal-dhs-director-jeh-johnson-says-the-days-of-enforcing-immigration-law-in-the-united-states-are-over/> > > -- Who would have believed that we’d ever come to this?
