Purists on illegal immigration might not like what Newt said, but he's likely on the same page with most Americans, at this point. He's not saying give folks coming across the border free stuff; he's saying deport them. But for folks who have been here 25+ years, they're part of their communities, and have been paying taxes, albeit maybe not income taxes, etc, but certainly sales taxes etc. for all that time.

Our Immigration policy is a joke, and it needs to be fixed, or we'll continue to have the problems we have now. It's much easier for people to come into this country illegally, from ANYWHERE in the world, rather than wait for the slow wheels, and the capriciousness, of the Immigration bureaucracy.

The U.S. naturalizes more than one million new citizens each year. One million! Far more than any other country in the world. Do you really believe that one million a year is not enough?

no... what Newt basically said is that it’s wrong to give illegal aliens a tuition brake... we should just give them amnesty so they can get the tuition brake along with all other citizens.

lol

I had considered voting for Gingrich... but on second thought ... it would not be “humane”
