Mostly I like Newt, and Rick, if I can use the familiar. I think that when Newt speaks on immigration, he is only being realistic at best; it will not be the case that the US government will deport (nor even ever identify) all illegal aliens. Those long ensconced in a community might be discovered in some accident, but unless they are some notorious criminal or wastrel, the community would strenuously object to their deportation, I would think.

But of course, our boarders needs to be secured to keep the boat afloat.

Yep. Never gonna happen - so it’s foolish for folks to get so exercised about who would claim to want it to happen versus those who simply know it won’t.

Secure the border and allow the states to deport folks as they are arrested and as they apply for hand outs - and in 5-10 years - this problem will more or less be handled and without any economic or societal disruption.

Folks need to understand than none of the GOP candidates started the immigration problem. It’s been building for 60 years. Kind of foolish to get too angry at their prescriptions, since they all agree on the single most important solution. SECURE THE BORDER.

Everything else will take care of itself, but ONLy after the bleeding is stopped.
Thats just logic and reality. Not asking anyone to like it, just accept it.
