This guy is all over the map on this issue. He'll say anything to get the nomination, apparently.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Agreed. This is 180 degrees out of phase with what he said just two days ago.

Anything less than requiring people who are working here illegally to return home to apply for a worker visa is amnesty.

Illegal immigration has undeniably had a savage impact on our nation, particularly the regions where it has been rampant. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t been very bad for other areas, because all citizens are burdened with supporting the illegals through the taking of our earnings to pay their way.

Somehow, some of the bright-paths in the federal government have come up with a great new idea to ‘FIX’ illegal immigration. They want to make the mass influx of foreign nationals into our nation legal.

Folks, if the presence of 20 to 35 million souls who can’t support themselves is bad, what difference does it make if they are here legally, or illegally?

Granted, the illegal is breaking the law, but the burden he represents is no different a one than if he were here legally. A financial burden, a regional blight, a severe negative impact on our education or health care system, is not repaired or prevented by changing 20 to 35 million poor uneducated people and their children to legal from illegal.

We need to stop the work, the benefits, the services, the positive aspects for illegals by being on our soil. We need to see them repatriate in large numbers.

Then we actually need to see a 20 to 30 year moratorium on any immigration whatsoever so our nation can heal.

Beyond that, we need to end immigration from terrorist supporting nations, and religious institutions on our soil that promote violence or altering our nation’s laws to make us more like the hovel they escaped from.

We are not moral equals, some of these folks and us. It time we acted like adults and admitted this.

Newt is the Romney eradicator. Praise be.

After that, we need a Newt eradicator.

According to Newt, if an illegal has managed to evade capture long enough to beget anchor babies (a.k.a. "put down roots" and "have a family"), it is "inhumane" to subject him to the law.

Bye bye, Newt. We eliminated La Raza Rick from the contest, and we will do the same with you. Go back to writing trashy "history" books.

I am surprised Newts’ proposed amnesty has not hurt him in the polls, I find that very discouraging.
