Newt: “Some illegals deserve amnesty”
.....
There is already a legal path to citizenship, they swear in new citizens all the time. You have to wait in line and pay your dues not skip to the front.
That’s what has to happen and I believe the political reality will coalesce around that idea.
We won’t get fooled a third time. We need to control our borders, but kicking out non-criminal illegals won’t happen. The path to citizenship must be in support of overseas Christian minorities, those with high educations and skills and those who bring $1 million in capital.
Those who are on the path to legal citizenship need to be treated like human beings - standardize and privatize the process. Those who are here illegally go to the end of the line.
We need a tiered approach to citizenship and an elimination of welfare benefits for illegals, green card holders, and newly minted citizens for a decade. That would go a long way toward shoring up entitlements and give that reform time to work.
The illegal immigration problem isn’t just about immigration.
Americans need amnesty from this nightmare they need a path to their very own nation.
