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.

It’s amnesty.

Once they become legal residents they are eligible to apply for citizenship.

Freepers treat Rush like they do polls

They love him if they agree

They hate him if they don’t....then he is Oxyhead

Sure, they can vote, anywhere they’re not required to produce ID.
