I agree with Coulter on immigration being one of the most important issues. I won't support Romney (unless it's against Obama), but immigration/amnesty is the primary reason I will not support Perry and Gingrich.

Perry supports the DREAM Act and has opposed e-verify as governor of Texas.

Gingrich actively opposed efforts to enforce the country's immigration laws and making e-verify mandatory as speaker and under his comprehensive immigration reform plan (establishing roots, going to church and neighborhood boards - manned by liberals) virtually every illegal alien would qualify for amnesty,

Might as well add Romney to that bunch as well since all of his words where Illegal Immigration are concerned are nothing more than hot air.

Myth will say anything and do anything to get himself elected.

Gingrich wants a biometric tamper proof verification on illegals. Newt is right on this and his proposals are the only ones that are doable.. BTW...who do YOU support.
Newt’s solution; The solution to this problem is a well-regulated, robust guest worker program.

There is no possibility that the federal government could run such a program without massive fraud and counterfeiting. On the other hand, American Express’s rate of fraud is less than one tenth of one percent.

We can build on the universal system of biometric, tamper-proof visa documents that all visitors must have, and invite a private-sector firm with a proven track record to monitor the guest worker program.

For guest workers, the new tamper-proof, biometric cards will replace the e-verify system, which has some promising elements, but is too error-prone. Employers will be able to swipe prospective employees biometric cards, and immediately be able to confirm that these workers are in the country legally.

Once a legal guest worker system has been built with real-time, 24/7 verification, there will be no excuse for employers hiring people illegally. At that point the economic penalty on illegal employers should go up substantially.

The new guest worker program should be designed using the proven principles oand it should be easy, convenient, inexpensive and practical for both workers and employers.
