It’s like giving amnesty to a bank robber. Robbing banks is a federal crime like being in the US illegally. So this guy is robbing banks to support his family. He’s been doing it for twenty-five years. He pays taxes on his theft, pays his church tithe, etc. So Newt wants to grant this guy amnesty for his crimes? Why not? He’s been a good citizen albeit that he violated federal law, but what the heck ... you know???

Perfect analogy...and why there should never be any Illegal Alien Amnesty

The supporters of Amnesty would call the Bank Robber a “Depositor”.....like they call an Illegal Alien an “Immigrant”

No, it's like giving amnesty to a bank robber who robbed one bank and has been living off the proceeds of his crime for 25 years.

Guess what, we already do that. It's called the statute of limitations and for armed robbery, it is 5 years--not 25 years.

The problem with your analogy is that there is a statute of limitations for the bank robber. I have no reason to give any credibility to the numbers presented in this study. Particularly, when they add that the plan grants citizenship.

On the other hand, the reports that Ron Paul may be a racist seem to have similar credibility.

If it starts getting down to Romney and Paul, it will be clear that elections don’t really matter as much as we had hoped.
