"Newt is now asking us to drink the Koolaid. If he thinks that we can get 12 to 20 million people to go home and then come back, including setting up the massive bureaucracy to administer such a system, he is nuts"
You must understand this. A large number of these illegals have financial investments in this country and deportation would result in great economic loss.
If a few thousand illegals were to be deported, these invested illegals would take note and do whatever necessary to protect their investments.
Another thing, contrary to the spun information, most of the illegals are NOT low wage workers nor are they being paid less than the min. wage. At least not in Arizona.
Arizona has very close to ZERO unemployment. The girl that takes your order at MickeyD's makes $9-10/hour and cannot speak english at all. She knows which sounds match the keyboard on the computer. (well, it is almost that bad)!
Tim was way pushing the 'what about the children' line.
That is so lame. If illegals who have children are deported, the kids would go with them. What else?
Eventually, the kids (since they are citizens because of a law that should probably be repealed) can come back when they are old enough, or not
It's not that big a deal. I'm surprised Newt waffled on it. Mexicans are very family oriented. The suggestion they might leave their children is ridiculous.
