However, Newt did promote limited amnesty. Such a policy would lead to more and more illegal border crossings.

Really? How? In essence, everyone here has amnesty now. Our current laws are not being enforced so there is no deterrent.

Plans like Newts might begin the process of actually stemming the tide.

Confession: I despise Newt because he caved when the government shut down occurred effectively surrendering.

Of course our immigration laws aren't being enforced. When have they been? How about, NEVER!

Last night Newt said that millions of illegals would be sent home and he also said that millions of illegals would stay right here. That is continuing a failed policy. Period!

Newt was around in the 80’s and supported Simpson-Mazzoli which formulated the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. I've posted all this dozens of times over the years on FR. The IRCA 1986 was a failure because Ted Kennedy gutted the funding for tough employer sanctions and enhanced border security provisions that Reagan had demanded. The original 300K grants of amnesty quickly turned into 900K and then 2.7 million. If Reagan was around today, he would oppose our failed immigration policies and more amnesty.

Obviously Newt learned nothing from that experience 25 year ago.

Ronald Reagan said the same thing.

He also said a country that could not control it's borders was not a country at all.

We are about to lost all the SouthWest by virtue of the womb. Israel is facing the same problem.
