This is the first comment I have posted in YEARS on FR - I just can’t stay silent on this one.
I support Newt 100% on this stance, and believe this position will work for him for two reasons. #1, Conservative Christians like myself are Christians first and foremost in their lives. It may not be the most conservative immigration position, but Newt’s plan is humane and it is not godly to tear families apart. You have to look at deportation on a case by case basis. #2, I truly think this stance will help him with other Christians and force them to look past his past marital problems, by seeing that he does have a heart after all. It has definitely warmed up my perception of him!
“not godly to tear families apart”
Nobody is demanding families to be torn apart. Anybody is free to follow illegals where ever they go.
You should post more often. Your clarity and common sense are needed here on FR to help dilute the Knee JERK reactions of others.
It will not tear families apart if the illegal takes his anchor babies with him when he leaves.
These people are stealing from the disadvantaged citizens of this country, and stealing jobs that should go to Americans.
Now that NEWT is willing to take the heat, he alone has opened this discussion and placed it squarely on the table, it must be dealt with in a humane, Christian and civil manner.
You guys/gals are good, keep spreading the truth.
