I see no mention of self-deportation (such as the likes of Fred Thompson have used). And once again, 'common-sense' is the giveaway. I don't trust Newt as far as I could throw him. He will be like McCain in promoting amnesty while pretending what he is selling isn't amnesty.
In other words, he's just another Beltway oil slick.

Announce an immediate shift of Internal Revenue Service resources to audit companies that are deliberately hiring people illegally. We do not have to focus on deporting those who want to work. We need to focus on the Americans who are getting richer by deliberately breaking our laws, hiring people illegally and failing to pay taxes. These people are cheating their own country. We should focus on fining and making it economically impractical for Americans to deliberately encourage law breaking. Economic penalties for knowingly hiring someone who is illegal should rise dramatically with each employer (including subcontractors) conviction, making it simply too expensive to cheat. This will eliminate the magnet of illegal jobs, will begin to diminish the flow of new illegal workers and will lead some illegal workers to return home voluntarily.
