Former US House speaker says documented people, Dreamers, mothers and children must not be deported
Newt Gingrich, the former US House speaker and presidential hopeful, said a section of his own Republican party was “rabid” over immigration and predicted Donald Trump’s suggestion that he could deport documented people as well as millions of undocumented people will not come to pass.
“I’d be very surprised if you see any significant effort to change the game for people who are here legally,” Gingrich said, weeks before Trump’s return to the White House. “I just think there’s a very small faction of the party that’s rabid about this.”
He also warned that public support for mass deportations would “collapse” if stories began to come out “about mothers or babies or children being deported”.
The president-elect may not welcome Gingrich’s intervention. After all, Trump won last year’s election promising mass deportations involving the armed forces and detention camps.

The example was showing a ratio of 10 to 1, get it?
So, Newt...what do “they” have on you???
Shut up Newt!
It’s a Love Sofa! Lol!
Gingrich has always been with the Chamber of Commerce wing on illegal immigration.
He proposed citizenship for illegals who had been here a long time. He was ok with the 1996 IRCA act that gave amnesty to illegals in return for future enforcement policies which he never fought to accomplish.
