Kinda sounds like Dr. Sowell is in Newt’s corner. Can’t agree with him on that one. Newt’s a sprayed fly. You never know where he’s gonna land on a particular issue.
Perry and Newt are the only amnesty activists running for president on gop side. They clearly and strongly believe in amnesty.
It is not humane to vote either one.
Bachman was impressive in foreign policy debate. Santorum is credible too. We do not have to pick amnesty activist. I was ready to forgive newt’s history of global warming, gun grabbing, serial adultery and bashing conservatives. But amnesty is deal breaker.
A Republican Congress would be unlikely to make that mistake again, even if a Republican president wanted to. The big question for 2012 is whether Republicans will win Congress and/or the White House. If Democrats win Congress and the White House in 2012, amnesty is virtually certain, along with other disasters.
The only consideration anti-amnesty voters should have is the removal of Obama from office, and who can beat him. Any of the R field will be light years better on the subject.
Wrong again WSJ - I do believe the government should do exactly that. WSJ, do not attempt to speak for me, ever.
I don’t think you read the entire column.
Newt did not propose amnesty! Try reading again what Newt did said and maybe you might understand.
Doesn’t sound to me like Sowell is in Newt’s corner at all.
Newt has openly advocated for “limited amnesty”. Now he calls for legalization of illegals.
Newtcritters are getting desperate, but outright lies will not be tolerated here.
After reading the article I find it difficult where Sowell agrees or disagrees with the Gingrich propsal specifically. This is a first for me: I am having a hard time understanding what point Dr. Sowell is making, unless he is taking issue with the unfortunate use of the word “ihumane.”
All the talk about Gingrich and how smart he is.
But next to Sowell, Gingrich doesn’t look very smart at all.
Excellent point
Amnesty is the growth hormone of government.
What Newt proposes is to close the borders,secure them, enforce the laws and when this happens by and large most of the "Illegals" will self-deport as they did during the Eisenhower administration when he applied the same principles. No one believes that we can "Deport" 12 to 20 million people. The ones that are deported should be taken deep into Mexico to make it tough for them to try again. The big problem on the border now is and will continue to be the Drug Cartels...financed and supported by the Obama administration in a further attempt to emasculate this nation.
I’d hold my nose for Gingrich...but not for Romney.

Great article.
The problem is we conservatives keep talking about amnesty first when we should be talking about the unfathomable -- and often court mandated -- policies that keep us from enforcing immigration law.
If someone wants to keep some sort of limited amnesty card in his hand to play at the right time to smooth the way to a solution, fine. We keep insisting on playing it first, however, before the real problem is addressed.
Your dreaming. The Newt critics here are not interested in facts. They are quite satisfied with their opinions.
