I refuse to believe that American voters accept Gingrich’s advocating of amnesty for illegal aliens as a course for this country. It just doesn’t make sense
That may be because it’s not amnesty.
You don’t make sense.
“I refuse to believe that American voters accept Gingrich’s advocating of amnesty for illegal aliens as a course for this country. It just doesn’t make sense”
Thats because most people realize that Newt is not advocating amnesty. What he is advocating is his 21st Century Contract For America which is conservative and a good plan.
Abortion used to be the single issue in Republican politics. Now, it appears like immigration has taken its place. Get over it. No candidate will take a hard line on illegal immigrants. They can’t, politically speaking.
Gee, maybe because
A) Immigration is not the number one issue this campaign. The top issue is the country’s economy (jobs).
B) The number 2 issue the global economy (trade), and
C) The number 3 issue is foreign policy (i.e, what to do about Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Syria, etc, etc, etc).
If you look thru the prism of these 3 issues, Newt is clearly the strongest candidate.
The illegal immigration policy is an issue because it came up in a debate, not because it is the thing driving this election. Newt’s plan is one that sounds REASONABLE to everyone except for the idealogs (like you), who want a purist. Since a) no candidate actually is a purist (yes, even MB has waffled on shipping them all out) because b) a purist would be unelectable ... the immigration debate is largely unimportant to deciding which candidate to support.
Maybe because he wasn't advocating amnesty...only the media and his political foes were stating that he did.
But, then, don't let the facts confuse you.
Someone tell me who HAS an immigration plan, and how it is better/more believable than Newt Gingrich’s plan. All the focus is on Newt, but is Romney’s plan better? Bachmann said the EXACT SAME THING as Newt when asked what to do with the 11 million people here. I don’t think Cain’s 9-9-9 addresses illegal aliens, and to the best of my knowledge... that is Cain’s only plan on anything.
I like Tom’s Tancredo’s plan... throw ‘em all out. But.... who running really has a better plan than Newt?
Do you honestly believe that we can deport 11 million people? I agree with Newt and so do the majority of the people in this Country. Deport the criminals, and the people who haven’t been here long.. But come up with another classification for those who have been here for decades, are paying taxes, etc.. Not citizens, but something else. It is only practical because the USA has been an accomplice in this crime. We will never deport all these people, I do not care who is the President. Get honest with ypurself. Do you really think the US will deport whole families to go to Countries they have no ties to. It will never happen.
American voters will not accept amnesty. BTW, Gingrich does not advocate amnesty.
No wonder it didn’t make sense to you. Only the left wants us to think Gingrich is for amnesty. And you did... for a while.
