Did Newt Gingrich have a “heartless” moment on Tuesday night?
In a September debate, Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, drew a furious response from conservatives in his party when he said critics of in-state tuition for illegal immigrants “did not have a heart.” The response halted Mr. Perry’s momentum amid charges from rivals that he was too soft on the issue of immigration for the party faithful.
Now, Mr. Gingrich — the newest leader in the national polls — has embraced a similar apostasy: the idea that the country should find a way to make many millions of illegal immigrants legal.

No surprise, the other Newt Cultists rush to the defense of their Under priest.
So apparently the Newt camp has no problem with those sorts of scumbag political tactics.
Thank you from proving my point about how Newt has become a Cult of Personality to his followers here.
Cult of Personality tactic 3. Anything is permissible as long as it advances the cause of the cult leader
Newt will change that as well...and all states wil have to have photo identification to vote. There will still be the cheaters but this dows hamper their efforts considerably.
Rush was talking about this about a half hour ago and made a good point about Newt’s position. Nowhere does Newt say that he is giving amnesty to illegal immigrants. Rather, he is saying that they will be allowed to stay if certain conditions are met.
So how is his position different than amnesty?
Newt’s proposal does NOT grant citizenship, which means they cannot vote. That is a HUGE difference in my book.
They can give us all their oil profits until the debt is paid. I'd say that’ll take about 400 hundred years if no more illegals sneak in.
It's the fairest deal possible.
Unfortunately, there is no "next", there is only Romney.
HA! You really think Newt doesn’t know the difference? Seems to me Newt’s exactly right..there are ‘foreigners’ already serving....green cards and otherwise.
Its going to one day be something between mass deportation and blanket amnesty and Newt was addressing that
They all say that except Bachmann who wants all deported...a fine idea but highly unlikely
Its a mess no doubt
White conservatives need to get back to bangin and.baby making like wabbits again
Problems solved in 20 years or so
“Huh? So where was he wrong?”
I think he should have said “Foreigners who have come here LEGALLY.....”
“So how is his position different than amnesty?”
It’s amnesty.
Once they become legal residents they are eligible to apply for citizenship.
That will pretty much, probably sets the deal for Romney winning the nomination (though I haven’t heard what Romney might have said to the same sort of question at the same debate since, like I said, I missed it sadly) … I can’t believe Newt has made such a huge blunder …
If this is true I am swapping Newt for Bachmann. So it will be Romney, Bachmann or Cain now for me. Though I didn’t hear the debate, I am pretty sure in guessing Bachmann no way supports or coddles or enables or encourages illegal immigration – and I won’t mince words, I am talking about illegals invading from Mexico (along with a strong drug and criminal element which also supports smuggling not only drugs but terrorists into this country) …
excellent idea.
Excellent supporting comments.
If I wanted to live in Mexico, I would have moved here. Some of the support that the leftists in this country give to the chaos of uncontrolled immigration caused by our open border is just the projection of self-loathing. If we do not gain control of our borders we are doomed.
I would suggest reading The Camp of the Saints by Jean Raspail. This is the fictional future of Europe that becomes beset by boatloads of third-world people that it cannot show the courage to prevent from entry let alone eject. Uncontrolled immigration is a form of cultural suicide.

White flag alert, white flag alert, fine anyone that pays a $100,000, fine can apply. We will send them a reply in their native country.
Freepers treat Rush like they do polls
They love him if they agree
They hate him if they don’t....then he is Oxyhead

Not that it’s any of your business, but I haven’t voted yet nor have I decided who that vote will go to. I’ll be sure to get your opinion before I do, though...that will be one less candidate from which to choose...and in case you are wondering, the instrument has yet to be invented that could measure how little I care about what you think or say. You have proven yourself many times to be a liar and plagiarizer. If it weren’t for low character, you’d have none.
“Problems solved in 20 years or so”
Nope. Give amnesty to the ones that are here and others will come.
Negative. They are LEGALLY voting. We are not talking about illegals with or without ID. Non citizens ARE ALLOWED to vote in several areas in local elections.
If you are suggesting that Newt will put a stop to this, you are mistaken.
My my my seems the Cult of Newt don’t like having their posting tactics pointed out to them.
Remember that next time you feel the urge to post one of your fraudulent hit pieces about the other candidates.
We are facing an invasion of our nation by Mexico and other "Latin" nations. Immigration trumps all the other issues we face today. Continued immigration, legal or otherwise, will destroy the American republic.
People who do not realize this are too stupid to recognize how a place like Texas came to be liberated from corrupt, dictatorial Mexico in the first place. It happened because Anglos settled there in large numbers. Demography is destiny. Occupation is conquest. Got it?
