I wasn’t looking to “be tickled”. I was just reading his column and enjoying it as I usually do when I got to that paragraph.
As to your last point, I believe that an employer knowingly hiring an illegal alien is doing more harm to our country than the illegal looking for work.
Newt's plan is a Trojan horse. It is unworkable and will result in de-facto amnesty and Newt realizes that. Keep in mind that he is a long-time supporter of illegal aliens.
Do you mean when he endorsed the Bush immigration propsal that was defeated. Oh, I hope he manages to live that down!
According to Roy Beck of Numbers USA, as Speaker, Newt actively worked to undermine the enforcement of illegal immigration laws:
So, a guy from an anti-immigrant group wrote a article opposing Gingrich? Your point is?
But EVERY other paragraph does, and the paragraph you mention does not in fact support your conclusion, either.
???
It doesn't read like that to me at all.
As usual, Tom Sowell hits it out of the park.
Thanks for posting this.
Unfortunately, politicians are much more influenced by the media, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Hispanic advocacy groups than the voters.
Step 1: We all admit that we have a problem. (check)
What is your solution, and who is advocating it?

You're attaching more significance to the paragraph than I.
I read it as a.) Newt made a mistake in addressing immigration as he did, b.) it's one more piece of baggage he'll have to overcome. Then, c.) nobody's perfect.
I believe Sowell would support Gingrich if he wins the nomination. But I didn't view the article as an endorsement at all.
LOL!
I swear I don't know how you came up with pic of me but that little lady there could really jitterbug!
Newt and others are getting way ahead of themselves. Before we decide how to deal with the illegals in this country we have to control our borders. That is the number one subject to be discussed. By trying to jump to the end game you avoid the necessary steps to get there.
I agree... even after reading it a second time.

I didn’t mean to suggest you were tickled, I thought the suggestion had been that Newt supporters were or would have been.
And again I’d hold them both accountable: the reason that hiring illegals causes damage is because it contributes to their being here. And their being here is even more fundamental to their being here, if you will.
Cutting off all funding to sanctuary cities would do a world of good also.
“create a system like the selective service system... to register and keep track of these people”.
Government is always the solution... huh newt?
"But I am for a path to legality for those people whose ties run so deeply in America that it would truly be a tragedy to try and rip their family apart."
SOWELL destroyed this argument
"I do not believe that the people of the United States are going to take people who have been here a quarter century, who have children and grandchildren, who are members of the community, who may have done something 25 years ago, separate them from their families, and expel them,"
Want to bet newt?! PANDERING for ILLEGAL VOTES is business as usual for a "politician" like you newt
"I would have very, very stiff economic penalties for anyone who hires somebody who is not legally inside the system," Gingrich said. "I would be very tough."
Under your plan newt... ONLY al qaeda agents and iranian special forces will be "outside of the system"
Big government believing, illegal alien loving, globull warming promoting pos... THAT is newt gingrich.

AMENSTY... from the Greek word amnestia
forgetfulness... the act of an authority (as a government) by which PARDON is granted to a large group of individuals.
PARDON... the excusing of an offense without exacting a penalty. to absolve from the consequences of a fault or a crime. to relieve of a penalty improperly assessed.
Citizenship is mentioned nowhere.

Thanks for the ping jaz.
Yeah he did. He proposes to allow foreigners who broke our immigration laws to be given a non-citizen legal status that allows them to remain in the country.
If you don't understand that that's amnesty, then you need to look up the word.
