This is a serious problem.
I don’t WANT to grant amnesty to illegals. Its unfair to those who came here legally. It encourages further illegals and it increasing the Democrat Voting Base. He must be having beers with Bush II and Juan McAmnesty.
But the large number of illegals allowed in by Bush II and Obama makes the problem of dealing with them an issue.
There are many aspects of Gingrich which are defective and I think he’s the wrong candidate - not just for this, but because he is another TIRED old face when the party needs a new one.
But a compromise on amnesty probably may become inevitable.
Our best hope is to SEE TO IT that there is NO amensty unless the borders are secured FIRST and STRONG EMASURES taken to put out of business those corporations who knowlingly hire illegals, punish those charities and churches which provide them with sanctuary, and take strong punative measures against all “Sanctuary Cities”.
The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.
