This guy broke into my house. I came home from vacation to find him living in my guest bedroom.
I was going to call the cops, but he said, “Look, I’ve already been living here all week. I even made the bed every day.
“Sure, I ate the food out of your fridge and tried on a bunch of your clothes, but I also washed the windows.
“You can’t kick me out, I have a baby living in your bedroom too. It would be inhumane and cruel. I’ll tell you what - I’ll pay you $500, you don’t have to call me a member of your family, and I get to stay.
“You won’t be granting me amnesty for breaking and entering.”
Newt said it was a good plan, and a bunch of people on Freerepublic agreed and told me it was the only practical thing to do.
After all, he had been in my house for a while and it wouldn’t make any sense to kick him out.
I agree w/ a lot of what you said theoretically. However, here’s the flaw, the management company overseeing your house gave implied permission for the guy to stay there. The Dems, by their actions & policies, actually encouraged the illegals to come here, even going as far in some cases to set up “sanctuary” cities.
So, if you’re from south of the border, & don’t know an awful lot about our country, & some politicians are saying you must abide our laws, while many, many others are saying it’s ok to break our laws, what do you do if you’re looking for a better life? The Dem politicians are LAW MAKERS after all. If you were from out of the country, wouldn’t you think they had some authority?
The illegal situation is not nearly as clear cut as some make it out to be. Newt is simply putting forth a solution to fix what Dems have been doing for decades. Is it perfect? Maybe, maybe not. I don’t see many other viable thoughts being bounded about out there.
That is the stupidest analogy I have ever read
Answer this: A man came here illegally 40 years ago, he married, had a baby here. HAd a job, bought a house. His kid grew up and got married and had babies of their own.
Now... He is here illegally, but he has worked and bought a house and the government gave him tacit approval by saying he lived in a sanctuary city.
Now Gingrich comes along and wants to enfore the immigration laws.
What do you do with this guy? Throw him out tomorrow? Take his house? If not, then I think registering him and making sure he is documnented is a good start- and NOT VOTING (no citizenship)
If not, then what would your PLAN be?
there are millions of people like this.
