I agree with your posts. Some must not have noticed, but Newt did not offer citizenship, but merely legal status. They would not be allowed to vote. It is a lot easier getting rid of the riff-raff, and allowing productive people to remain. Good people are an asset to America, and to uproot entire families, some of who know no other country, is immoral. Most of the off spring don’t even know Spanish, let alone the culture. We should never punish the children for the mistakes of the parents.
How about THIS child? Explain to me how the baby of a Mexican national who crossed the Rio Grande and gave birth two hours later is under the "jurisdiction" of the U.S. (according to the 14th Amendment), and thus gives birth to an "American citizen"? If the President of Mexico's wife gave birth in a NC hospital, the baby would be Mexican. Period. So are anchor babies. How is it "punishing" the babies to deport them WITH THE PARENTS? They broke the law. Do you not send a bank robber to jail, since it would "punish" his children when he goes off to jail? Ridiculous. All you NewtBots are doing is undermining the rule of law, which has enormous repercussions.
“....but Newt did not offer citizenship, but merely legal status.”

As Rush mentioned today, “How long do you think it will take for the ACLU to get involved and demand that those who are here legally should be allowed to receive citenzenship?”
Is there a law on the books that allow people to reside in the US legally without also giving them the right to become US citizens should they so choose?
That is the most hilariousl thing I've heard all week. You've gone so far past slippery slope that you're in a speeding train flying down at 90 degrees with no brakes.
