“Speaker Gingrich may be able to walk this back and minimize the damage by forcefully demanding a substantial fine be assessed against the illegal aliens that broke our laws long ago but have maintained decades-long family and community roots without a criminal record. “
Cut the “fine” crap. It sounds just like McCain. We’re not STUPID enough to think that a “fine” would be paid by the ILLEGAL. No, we know that one or more of the following will happen, if there is a “fine”:
1) There will be a “hardship” exemption, where people that have not had much to show on tax returns (either because they didn’t make much, or, more likely, what they made never showed up on tax returns) get their “fine” waived.
2) ACORN, Soros, the DNC, or whoever pay the “fine”, so the “fine” is meaningless.
3) A judge declares the “fine” to be inhumane, so it is simply tossed out.
