We are only a nation of laws when the lawmakers want us to be. Gov’t first passes so many laws that anybody can be in violation at any given time. The gov’t can decide when they want to enforce a law, but we can’t decide when we want to obey a law. Far too many immigration laws just aren’t enforced.
Gingrich is not a federalist. He believes he is smart enough to have all the answers and he tries to push them from the top down every chance he gets.
He also does not believe in the strict constructionist interpretation of the constitution. His shilling for Harriet Miers should tell you all you need to know about his future judicial appointments.
Hey GOP ... Newt is DAMAGED goods. Stop backing that loser or we are going to wind up with 4 more years of Zero
Ginrich has always ignored the constitution.
To people like him, the constitution is a mere inconvenience.
Why did the writer jump over “import persons”?
He is not ignoring the Constitution — the Constitution has already been ignored. He’s just trying to pick up the pieces. His plan is an effort at culling the herd.
My only proviso is: no ifs, ands or buts, fix the border first. Then we can afford to get humane.
Inhumane is continuing what we’re doing.
And HOW MANY OF THESE WERE KILLED BY THOSE WHO WERE ILLEGALLY FROM LATIN AMERICA AND ELSEWHERE ON OUR AMERICAN SOIL FOR OVER 10, 15, MAYBE 20 YEARS??!!
This is unsustainable. This is an invasion. There are countless graves and grieving American families to prove it. How DARE YOU SIR!?
The third smartest man in the US can't figure out that the family can't be destroyed unless the parents decide to destroy it, either by creating it illegally or by refusing the option to go back home as a family and doing things the right way if they wish to return.
I think we're more than generous to not require them to pay their own way home.
Unlike most Rinos, Newt is a real good talker. If he gets in, he will be sticking his fingers in our eyes a lot.
