“Gingrich said rhetoric about deporting all illegal immigrants isn’t realistic.”

While I don't know the context of him saying that....I have some thoughts on it.

The idea that we can deport ALL illegal aliens...is impossible. I agree with him.

We have screwed up for so long with illegal's....that we have kids that grew up here illegally...from very young ages, that are now in their 20's, heck probably 30's, maybe 40's!!!. They are Americanized. Many don't speak their parents language.

Yeah...it's a screwed up mess. And our "leaders" are to blame...and Newt takes some of that too.

FWIW-

A “leader” that talks like Newt is surrendering to the problem. And he’s encouraging more of it.

The message heard loud and clear outside the border is that Americans are too weak to enforce the law.

That Americans are afraid of hurting the feelings of non-citizens who choose to ignore the law and who create problems for their own children.

We in southern California are directly impacted by the flood of illegals that fools like Newt and Dubya have rewarded for years. The old middle class of California has been replaced by a new imported peasant class, and despite the idiocy coming out of certain Republican quarters they aren’t “natural conservatives”.

Eisenhower was confronted with the same problem when I was a boy and he had the fortitude to tackle it head on.

But then Ike knew which country he belonged to, and it wasn’t Mexico. Ike wasn’t afraid of the press like this current crop of sycophantic GOP losers.

Well you're the first who pretty much says what really needs saying...the issue of illegals has been used for so long as a political card that it's really past correcting it as we could of, and all the politicians are responsible for that. Rather like trying to put the genie back in the bottle.

Mexico isn't going to cooperate with any deals period... and will use their leverage to maintain the status quo. Illegals are a primary source of their GDP....so they will surely fight this as much as the Unions fight to keep their money flow going. Illegals are straight out a revenue ticket for the Mexican Government.

Enforcing the current laws would have been helpful but of course they continue stating they lack the man-power...which is just another way of them gaining their revenue source...and skimming off the top.

The there's the Mafia and Drug Cartels who surely will play in this game to keep their revenue flowing

And let's not forget those border towns who are subsidized with revenues to secure the border, whose tax-payer's money never quite gets the job done...otherwise those revenues will dry up...so it benefits those governing for cheap labor and to keep the government tit pumped

So as I see it the American people can cry out all we want...they..(meaning the states nor the government) are ever going to correct the situation...never. There will be some form of Amnesty like it or not...so the question is who has the least harmful of the two to the American citizen and at least root out the undesirables and those leeching on to the system.
