Michael Reagan: My Father Would Support Gingrich's Position On Immigration

"ABO, 'Anybody But Obama' at this point in time," Michael Reagan said when asked who his father would be supporting in the Republican primary.

"He would support the nominee. Never got involved in the primaries, he believed the party should choose their person but he would have said this about last night's debate, which he would have thought was very good, as I thought it was very good. He would [have] supported probably Newt Gingrich's position on immigration. My father never would have broken up a family to try to make in fact a point on immigration, and so he would have applauded Newt Gingrich on that,

Reagan said it was one of his biggest mistakes didn’t he?

[GeronL]

and who said they were in favor of “breaking up families”??

The political hyperbole is amazing.

The Reagan amnesty thing was an EPIC FAILURE and we all know it. Now it will be used as a model for the future?

wow.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Well...

“My father never would have broken up a family to try to make in fact a point on immigration”

You don’t break them up you deport the whole parasitic clan back to WHATEVER HELL HOLE SPAWNED THEM!

No one is breaking up a family. Real families stick together and all move to their legal home - see how that works?

Families live in foreign countries and then move back home all the time.

[SatinDoll]

Uh-huh, sure Michael.

I cannot imagine President Reagan taking a position sayin, “You committed a felony, but since you have children we won’t do anything to you.”

When pigs fly!

[napscoordinator]

As President Reagan was the only President in the last 40 years to pass Amnesty, this is not much of a surprise. I still love Reagan but don’t want Newt for President.

[Jane Austen]

Exactly. You deport all of them. We are not preventing anyone from leaving this country.

Gingrich Shows 'Compassion' for Illegal Aliens He Helped Stay Rooted in U.S.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

It's wrong no matter who would have supported it. Amnesty for illegal immigrants was one of the biggest failures of Reagan's Presidency, so how does this help Gingrich exactly? Lets take all of Reagan's failures, without any of his many successes, and put them into a candidate and you still have a crap candidate.

Didn't we cover this crap two days ago on FR? Why post this again? BTW, Michael Reagan has spent the last 4 years as a pimp-for-hire for the same shysters who torpedoed the Minutemen (Diener Consulting, Phil Sheldon, Gary Kreep, Randy J. Goodwin et al). He has zero credibility.

[freekitty]

I doubt seriously he would.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I don’t want to break up families, I want to send them and their entire family back!

[BobL]

Don’t tell me he’s channeling his father again...

Well, times are different now, Gipper. We have a MUCH HIGHER number of Illegals now, and they WILL change the demographics of this country the moment they are legalized. They MUST be stopped.

[Jane Austen]

Good points. I objected to Reagan’s support of illegals then, and I object to Newt’s position now.

[over3Owithabrain]

Yeah I don’t need grown sons to talk for their dead fathers. Be a man Mike and speak for yourself. Quit riding daddy’s coattails

[GeronL]

bump to that

[Jukeman]

Any of you people who say it would be possible to deport all of the illegals are being dishonest with yourselves and everyone else. I can see deporting those who sign up for welfare benefits, felons, and other undesirables but trying to deport those who have assimilated into our society in all respects would not be supported by most citizens of this country. I know there are those of you who are bigots, racists, and idiots who will never be dissuaded in your stance but what you want to happen will never happen. I agree that we must close our borders and stop the flow now but there is limit to what can be done with those here now. Say what you want and call me whatever you but I am right on this.
