Newton will see higher poll numbers with this immigration tutorial, and will not be eschewed by Hispanics, nor the rest of the national vote. He will continue to have his share of critics on FR, of course, but on this issue minds are not going to be changed among moderates and Independents who will be overwhelming in our primary and are not about to vote for a mass exodus of whole families and partial families treated as if they were drug runners and human trafficers. Few would be for that.
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.
Good point, Mitt. Let the other countries in the region put pressure on Syria. Excellent. We are overextended. Let Arab Spring play out.
Perry’s all wrong with his ass-kickin’ approach... imo.
More and more states are looking for legislation to deport illegals. They should have thought about breaking the law 25 years ago and stayed in Mexico.
Call me heartless - We have immigrations laws. Enforce them. These illegals are costing us Billions of tax payer dollars to support them and they just keep multiply.
How can Rick Perry's policies on illegal differ from Newt's?
Rick Perry is supporting tuition for at least second generation illegals. That says their families had to be here at least 20 years ago!
Cheers!
