That other 50% of illegals he mentions, those here for years. There is no way that they vast majority of them could have stayed, put down roots, without doing something illegal... Should they be deported?

What do you think? Should they?

I'm not sure...Here's what conflicts me..

1.As I think I understand Newt and Perry, they want to be able to let them stay.permanently..but NOT as citizens. I gather the main difference will be that they won't be able to vote. I agree with that, but am not sure if I like the idea of creaing a permanent separate class of several million in this country.

Also, I'm no expert on immigration law, but I believe we have provisos where peopel who emigrate legally to theis country, become citizens, are then able to legally bring over their immediate family members. There would be tremendous pressure to enbale this new class to do the same..thus adding millions more.

And what about benefits, entitlements... especially medical costs as they age. It adds trillons..

No, I think they have to go back..
