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.
Common sense here used in the same context of "common-sense" gun laws. Meaning what is being proposed is anything but.
If you don't want deportation, don't mention self-deportation but say all workers should be legal, guess what? You're in McCain's never-never land where amnesty isn't actually amnesty.
It simply means nobody would be allowed to hire any illegals so they will just leave on their own. You don’t need some massive bureaucratic police state to go after everyone.
