He says secure the borders so no more come, send back the criminals and those who recently got here and I don't know “how recent” that would be. I suppose a limit would be set - like being here 10 years, or whatever years, and being assimilated in the community in good standing.
That's really all we can hope for and Newt knows it. Sometimes the truth hurts, but the truth, reality, is what he said.
I have to agree, as much as I DETEST illegals coming here, throwing diapers in the parking lots, living 20 to a house, etc, etc.
I DO feel what Newt is saying is that the above types of immigrants, the undesireables — the ones scrambling over to sign up for welfare — THOSE are the ones who will go.
If we keep the ones here 20 years or longer, AND they profess to want to become TRUE Americans ...I would have no problem with that, especially if benefits end to them as well. I refuse to continue, howver, to let them squat here and live off the fat of this land, continuing in their roles as parasites.
But as for the rest. I’m just tired of seeing the benefits doled out. Who cares if your’e poor, destitute — here for the “better life.” NO MORE BENEFITS!! If you want to come here, great — do it legally and work your way up, like every other immigrant from 200 years past. I’m tired of the special treatment .. .the “Latino” vote, etc ...tired of the spanish speaking gibberish and the free translators etc ...tired of all the SPECIAL BENEFITS going to people who have no intention of ever becoming good American citizens. They want to remain citizens of their own nations ...yet they want to live on our soil and they want our money and to be taken care of. That’s who I want out of this country.
I’m hoping to hear Newt being able to articulate the distinction between the two ..and the steps he would take AGGRESSIVELY remove the latter. If he can’t do that, then forget him.
