(C) setting up a board to review the status of each person here illegally. Such a board would distinguish between those who recently came here, and those who are more established. He said that those who recently came here, who don't have family ties, or are otherwise not established, should be sent home. While those who are established, who have been here for 25 years or more, who have children and grandchildren in America, who belong to churches, who have obeyed the laws, and who have paid their taxes, should be allowed to stay legally, but not automatically granted citizenship. For the latter, he recommended using something similar to the Red Card Solution, which would be used as a form of identification, to grant legality, and place them on a path towards citizenship.

Obeyed what laws? They stop at red lights? They have never been caught breaking any other laws except for entering the country illegally? Will this review board check out every one to see if they are registered to vote illegally? And if they have voted, will they be put in prison for that crime or simply deported? If they paid taxes, where did they get the SSN? Lots of laws have been broken by these people. Newt will not get my vote.

Exactly. If they have registered to vote illegally, and voted, used false ID's or SSN's, have DUI's, or have been convicted of any crime, they will be given a hearing with an opportunity to submit why they should be allowed to stay, and then if they don't meet the criteria, summarily deported.

How many of them have been assigned "valid" SSN's or Driver's Licenses, have been allowed to buy property and take out mortgages without proper identification, have been allowed to work without proper documentation, or have been convicted of crimes and allowed to stay illegally? What should happen to those who looked the other way? And how will we get the answers without some kind of review board?

In my humble opinion, not many would meet the criteria outlined by Gingrich, so a lot of people will ultimately be deported. The question is how to get 11-12 million people, to voluntarily submit to a fair and unbiased procedure?
