Yes, Newt was a major FAIL on illegals. He just lost this campaign.
I couldn't follow this thread because I was watching CNN.com. I had to step away a few times, so I did miss some things. I don't know if Newt has lost the campaign, but he has lost me. I was cheering for him earlier, but this is a deal breaker for me.
I don’t care how long those who came here illegally have been here they are still illegals and NOT citizens!
Newt blew it BIG TIME!
What I heard from Newt was a reasonable approach to the immigration problem.
Look, if I leave the front door open through the winter how can I complain about the cold and my skyrocketing heating bills?
Newt's talking about a 3 part plan. First, control the border- shut the door. Second, Guest Worker program. Third, a Review Board to review the illegals that are here.
The question is what's the criteria for deportation and how do you handle those that can stay? Newt said those allowed to stay would not be US citizens. Forcefully sending all 20 million men, women, and children back over the border won't happen. If you think that, then tell me who is going to do it exactly how.....really....
