Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich touched on a local issue when speaking at a packed town hall meeting in Charleston, South Carolina Monday night. The GOP hopeful had harsh words for President Obama for allowing the U.S. Department of Justice to sue the state of South Carolina over its immigration law.
“Clearly the Obama administration has been comfortable allowing foreign governments to enter a lawsuit against an American state. So here’s a simple way to think of it: President Obama sided with Mexico, I would side with South Carolina,” Gingrich said.
South Carolina’s law imposes proof of U.S. citizenship for a person caught committing a crime or pulled over in a car by law enforcement. The DOJ says the state’s law will distract law enforcement from other duties as well as result in the harassment and detention of “foreign visitors and legal immigrants, as well as U.S. citizens, who cannot readily prove their lawful status.” The DOJ is allowing foreign countries to join in on the law suit against the state.

Candidate Michele Bachmann released several mass e-mails last week saying Gingrich was in fact for amnesty.

I wonder if Bachman is hoping for VP spot on romney’s team
Speaking of VP, who would be good with Gingrich? (Rand Paul would be most excellent)
If Gingrich gets the nomination he will need a governor for a VP IMO.
The simplest answer is usually true. Michele is ankle biting for Michele.
Well at least Newt managed to run against Obama.
Wish these other guys tried it once.
“Well at least Newt managed to run against...” [Osama].
Whoever we nominate will have to have the instincts of a terrier. He will have to go after Obie like a flamethrower in a nudist camp.
If we are to stand a chance.
Team Obie will be using every lying weapon in their arsenal to defeat the Americans.
If we play nice, we lose.
I think Cain and Gingrich have the ability to take the Prancing One apart.
Pot calling kettle black
