Yeah, most of them would. You know which ones wouldn't? The very same ones he was talking about... the ones that have been here 25 years and have kids and grandkids here.
I wasn't happy with Newt's answer. But I agree with him 99% of the time. And even though I wasn't happy with his answer, practically speaking WITHOUT an exception like he makes, no immigration enforcement reform will ever get through Congress. If he's making MOST of the illegals go home, that's a quantum improvement over anything we've had in decades. I, for one, am more angry at Conservatives crucifying any candidate who isn't perfect than I am at Newt for saying something I happen to disagree with.
And some day they will die as illegals and the problem will be solved.
