Newt Gingrich: "We are not going to deport 11 million people"
Politico ^ | 12/2/10 | KENDRA MARR

Posted on 12/02/2010 1:05:36 PM PST by WilliamHouston

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has a bold goal for the next decade: Overhaul the country's immigration system so that every worker in the United States is legal.

"We are not going to deport 11 million people," Gingrich said Thursday as he kicked off his first forum on Latino issues. "There has to be some zone between deportation and amnesty."

A possible presidential candidate, Gingrich stressed that his target of establishing an entirely legal work force is "not a call for amnesty." Rather, he said, it's about applying common sense to the immigration debacle.

"Dos y dos son cuatro" (two plus two equals four), he said to chuckles. . .

I recommend a cash incentive to go home. Give them a check at the border. Would save enforcement and court costs.

Collect biometric information on the recipients and have severe penalties if they reenter illegally.

"We are not going to deport 11 million people," Gingrich said

So I guess that the 20 million illegals are out of the question.

Why won't our leaders consider the true value of deportation of illegals?

You wouldn't have to deport all 20 million, just start with the first million, issues arrest and deportation orders for the next million, and arrest and prosecute any employer of an illegal immigrant and watch as the majority run for the borders.

Kick the illegals out of public schools, give them emergency room care, but deport them immediately after.

It can be done but it requires political will.

I'm sick of people saying that latinos will become the next new majority minority.

Why not make the mexican flag legal only in mexico?

Screw newt, that weak little wife cheating prick.

“It’s the same position as Palin. What say you??”

I say they are both dead wrong on this. Why?

Oh, we're back to 11 mil now, are we? They've been using that number since at least 2004.

Apparently Mexicans do not reproduce.

Newt has NO chance to get the nomination. He has a lot of baggage and isn’t popular. As we see, yet again, he has a tendency to let his mouth run with gratuitous statements.

If the GOP runs a candidate that I can vote for like Jeff Sessions, Robert Bentley, or Martha Roby here in Alabama, then I will vote Republican in the 2012 presidential election.

If they run another Juan McCain or George W. Bush, I will vote for the Constitution Party or just leave that box unticked. In 2008, they forced that choice upon us and lost Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. Obama outperformed Kerry in almost every Red State.

If they haven’t learned anything from that experience, then clearly they need to be taught another lesson.

We imported them, we can export them.

The ones we don't want came here for free handouts and crime. Ending the various socialist welfare programs extended to them and we'd go a long way to getting the criminal element to leave with them.

I'm by no means a fan of Newt Gingrich, but as a practical matter he is absolutely correct -- and even more correct if one accepts numbers closer to 20+ million illegals.

Let's just accept that there will be obvious difficulties with rounding up a bunch of folks who don't want to be found.

More importantly, the legal backlog created by the need for due process (drat that Constitution of ours!) would be utterly unsupportable -- and you can be sure that the lawyers defending those who come up before such courts will stretch it out to the maximum possible extent.

It's just not likely to happen. Sorry, folks -- that's just the way it is.

Now, if a way could be found to ensure that only those here legally can get work ... well, that might work, and those who can't work might well leave on their own. But of course there are practicalities involved there, as well, and trade-offs would undoubtedly be made in order for Congress to pass any such program.

And then, of course, the border-bots will be most unhappy, and instead of taking a half-loaf this time, they'll simply starve for another several years.

I agree. Unfortunately, the solution is too simple for our liberal, bloated government to understand.

“We are not going to deport 11 million people,”

No we should deport 20 million, that is the real number.

Enforce our labor laws, and they’ll self deport.

Absolutely! Amazing to think what would happen if we actually enforce existing laws. There'd be no need for amnesty (not that there's ever a need) or deportation. The situation will self-police.

> Newt Gingrich: “We are not going to deport 11 million people”

Why not?
President Eisenhower did it with “Operation Wetback”.
It took 2 years to sweep the wetback illegals out and deport them all back to Mexico.
And it did involve millions of them.

Are you going to arrest 11 million Americans who one day finally get tired enough of this invasion to start doing what the federal and and even state governments refuse to do, Newt?
