Me too ...Newt's not willing to give them citizenship which means they cannot vote...that's the deal or go home. It also limits other things that only a citizen has "rights" to.
To me it's fair because they came here knowing they were breaking our laws. So the "penalty" fits. Also they will be tracked..and I like that idea as well.
BTW Happy Thanksgiving Onyx!!! Enjoy it to the fullest!
Happy Thanksgiving, dearest caww!!!
Newt spoke his mind and voters can support him or not.
Misquotes, and misinterpretations notwithstanding.
It will be very interesting to watch the national media polls in the coming days.
1) Secure the borders
2) Fast track citizenship to all people currently trying to immigrate legally.
3) Set up a program for all people here illegally to begin a legal immigration process which has been reformed to run more efficiently and at a lower cost to immigrants. All illegals must come forward and begin this process within 3 months of the opening of the program. Those that do not begin this process after 3 months and are caught in the US will be immediately deported.
4) Signing up for the process does not automatically mean that you will become a citizen, but will be used to determine your past behavior within the US.
5) If you clear the first clearance phase of the process, you must then be crime-free for 5 years to be given legal status. If at any time within these 5 years that you are convicted of a felony (possibly a serious misdemeanor) you will be immediately deported.
