And your solution is to have the whole country follow the path of California.

We need to stop focusing on the 20-25 year illegals, and start worring about the 24 hr illegals!

YOU ARE CORRECT! Looks like for many, talk is cheap (and unrealistic).

We need to focus on the WELFARE-sucking illegals who sit home all day while their “men” are out on the construction/grass cutting/mulch laying/leaf blowing jobs.

I worked at a local health department in nursing school in N. Virginia. The place was ENTIRELY patronized by illegals and really no one else. It exists now for them. I could count maybe 10 or less Americans in the place.

They are there, in line, every single day. They are receiving WIC, free car seats, free birth control (which they gladly accept but never use), free immunizations, free healthcare for their kids, free maternal care.

It’s disgusting. I saw 13 year olds pregnant.

If we stopped these non-stop SIGNIFICANT handouts ...what then? We are allowing them to come here, settle here with all the “help” to do so we can muster. After they settle with the help of all these freebies, THEN they enroll their brats in our schools ...THEN they park it in our hospitals for all the free maternity and other hospital care they can get.

THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN OUR PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES!!!!!

Did Newt Gingrich’s plan state that there is to be zero tolerance for illegal immigration. If not it is amnesty.

And Mitt Romney's position ...

Does it even make sense to discuss Mitt Romney's "positions"? If you don't like one of them - just wait a while.

“The president enforces the law”.
Ah, not this one, I would like to see him personally “Enforce” some of the alleged laws he has pushed!
What laws he does “Enforce” are selective and politically motivated.
In reality the “President” does NOT enforce anything, that is left to the alphabet agencies he stacks with his sycophants as directors.
Thus we end up with constant changes via “Law” being “Reinterpreted” with each change of agency head.
Loads of fun for lawyers, not so much for business and the public.

“Congress mandates enforcement and funds it.”
Again, not too true of late, our congress ignores most existing law to ingratiate themselves to special interest groups by passing “New” redundant laws.
Valid laws are left unfunded, or the funds allowed to be “Redirected”.
Czars and illegitimate offices are created, and congress does NOT force their de-funding.

At present our system is badly damaged, if not broken.
The (ignored) constitution is rendered moot under these circumstances.

I will stand by my statement, the intent was clear.

We need to focus on every single illegal in this country. We need zero tolerance for illegal aliens. Anything else is amnesty.

Gingrich is actually suggesting something that will deal with the current backlog of illegal immigrants - expelling some, while giving others legal residency but not citizenship

Otherwise known as amnesty.

I live in Las Vegas, there are 300,000 illegals here. Are you guys coming here with your rubber band guns to move every single one of them out? I didn’t think so.

I've personally deported hundreds if not thousands of illegal aliens with no problem. My Sector has deported over a million illegals in the years I have been working for the Border Patrol without much of a problem. So yeah we can round up every single illegal and send them packing.

Listening to this tortured explanation and equivocation reminds me of a Lincoln story. He was a good trial lawyer and adept at making things understandable to farmer-jurors with little formal education.
After listening patiently along with the jury to an opponent obfuscate and embellish the truth, in what was really a simple matter, his closing argument was basically asking them, “How many legs would a dog have if you called the tail a leg?”
And of course the answer was “Only four.” Calling a tail a leg, he explained, doesn’t make it a leg.
And calling the amnesty mule a horse doesn’t make it a horse either.

Nonsense. With birthright citizenship on the books, illegal immigration is of critical importance and becomes more dangerous for this nation with every passing day. Kids raised by illegals will eventually vote according the views their parents instilled in them, and illegal aliens are enemies of this nation. But I do agree that stanching the flow is of equal importance to dealing with the invaders already here. Personally, I fear it’s over already. I think America has already taken too much damage and we’re all just waiting for the bow to dip below the waves and begin the slide into oblivion.

How is Gingrich putting all those people in the military, when.. The Pentagon proposed budget cuts on Thursday that would slash the size of the U.S. military by eliminating thousands of jobs, mothballing ships and trimming air squadrons in an effort to shift strategic direction and reduce spending by $487 billion over a decade.

We could have the military institute an illegal alien quota...

RE :"Every immigrant backlash in our nation's history -- and there have been many, including movements against Germans, Eastern and Southern Europeans, even the Irish -- has been driven by a fear that those coming to our shores would never become fully American. Newt Gingrich's amnesty proposal acknowledges that some illegal immigrants have already become Americans in every sense but a legal one -- and his proposal to embrace them offers the best hope to the GOP to turn around its image as the anti-immigrant party."

'Have a heart' amnesty ping!

Isn’t that the “Then I’m sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!” amnesty ping.

1. Needs a brain because they can’t figure out why 20 to 35 million people here illegally is a problem.
2. Needs a heart? Why, that’s what they’re using instead of a brain.
3. Needs a home? Yep, well that could be, since this nation is being designed to be mostly Hispanic in upcoming years. See the power they wield already, one can only imagine when they’re the majority. House hunting international anyone?
4. Now nerve I can see, because very few people have that these days. They swoon at people who break the law, and call people who wish to see our laws observed, racists.

I guess that does take some nerve...

The Irish didn’t have over 100 million people living on our border. They didn’t have many Central American cohorts, also flooding our nation at will.
