Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., asked Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson a seemingly simple question yesterday in a House hearing: How will President Obama’s move to grant “de facto amnesty and work permits” to up to 5 million illegal immigrants affect the 20 million American citizens who are unemployed or underemployed?
Johnson, author and champion of Obama’s executive action on illegal immigrants, struggled to deliver a response. Skip to 3:30 for the most awkward moment in the exchange.
