NEWT SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD!
“Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that he wouldn’t “expel” those who have come illegally but have made lives in the U.S. He says that the GOP cannot call itself a party for family when it separates parents from their children born in the U.S.”
Keep illegal alien families together; deport all of them.
Children born in the U.S. to parents here illegally are the nationality of their parents. They can, when over the age of 18, apply for U.S. citizenship claiming birth here; but whether they get to claim that right depends on their parent’s homeland and its laws.
Mexico claims that wherever Mexicans go, Mexico exists. Therefore if Mexicans are in the U.S. illegally, they are not here under the jurisdication of the U.S., but purely as Mexicans.
Illegal aliens and their family members should be deported together - period.
Newt hurt himself very badly tonight. I will never vote for him on this very important national security issue.
Looked like Newt was pandering for Hispanic votes. To Conservatives that I know, 2 issues are paramount: the economy and illegal immigration. Newt truly stepped in it, and has become unsupportable like Romney.
Illegal immigrant are like “cheap energy” for certain US business sectors, plain and simple. That’s why businesses like illegal immigration and the working class hates it (the middle class ends up paying for the healthcare employers of illegals won’t provide).
I can understnad that Newt is trying to throw a pass ahead to the general election, when Hispanics will vote in droves. However, i think he has made a serious mistake. The humane thing to do would be to stand behind law-abiding Americans and people who immigrate to the US through legal channels. Alleviate the already devestating cost of health care for the middle class by ending the “cheap energy” pipeline of human misery and dishonesty.
