Gingrich is doing fine in Iowa.
He may even win it.
And it will be because he speaks the truth and does not lie and pander.
Let me just ask one question....
Do you have your rights because you are a citizen or because ALL MEN are CREATED Equal and ENDOWED by their creator?
This issue is NOT the first time our statutes have not been in keeping with our Declaration.
And an unjust statute is no law at all.
Some folks will go apoplectic from that - they tend to cherry-pick to suit their beliefs.
Plus, God said something about it too:
Leviticus 19:34
New International Version (NIV)
34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
None of us are truly native to this land, our roots started generations ago and in other places.
Are you saying, then, that any and all can come here as they wish?
I like to rape and be accepted for good behavior too (sarc off)
It’s too easy to grade oneself an A+. Gingrich the narcissist mini me too is well comfortable with his gayness and sexual orientation with illegals so to speak.
Like I said before: Newt, if you are prez, will you kill me for Obama?
Signed: Tparty activist
But it’s ok. The blind “humane” party will get to be reminded. Contractions accelerate, 911 will occure again at a higher rate until it all shards out.
It’s the typical lifestyle of addicts and gays progressing to depravity and destrucion
Do you have your rights because you are a citizen or because ALL MEN are CREATED Equal and ENDOWED by their creator?
Yes that s correct as far as it goes. It does not mean however that a nation does not have the right to control its borders and allow in who they choose to for whatever reason it chooses to no matter you like it or not or whether you agree with it or not. To not allow non-citizens into its country to live as citizens does not mean that these folks are any less of men or women. They are our equals across controlled borders. Now that isn't hard to understand for the overwhelming majority of American citizens so why can't you get through your thick skull?!
This issue is NOT the first time our statutes have not been in keeping with our Declaration.
What part is not in keeping pray tell? You need to re-read it yourself and take off the rose colored glasses and stop hanging with your socialist friends.
And an unjust statute is no law at all.
True. But if you trying to imply that any of our nations law's are not to your liking or approval then work to change them for crying out loud. You sound just like Obama, if you don't like a law then just ignore it and do as you please regardless. Wrong!!! You'll be right at home with full blown socialism our ill-informed resident. Or do actually prefer anarchy over laws?!
You will get flamed...but the reality is that those who scream”NO amnesty , no way” ignore what reagan did and do not want to answer the question of “How do you deport 30 million illegals?”
the reality is that Newt and Perry are right on this.
Secure the border, enforce the existing laws, deport criminal illegals, and give the rest a green card and tell them to get in line.
It is disingenuous to start screaming about how for 25 years the illegals are the only criminals in this...we “allowed and encouraged them to come”—Farmers, corporations, Dems and republicans wanted them here to work and did not enforce our borders and having a defunct immigration policy that did not deal with our worker needs with work visas, etc. This country can’t go retroactive now and just ignore what we have allowed for 25 years.
Regardless, get this mess straightened out now with some reality based actions. IF the border were truly secured, THEN is the time to talk about what to do with the people here.
That sounds like the pablum one reads on a La Raza forum. So every person "created" on this planet has an automatic right of American citizenship? Who are you and why are you on Free Republic?
last time I checked citizenship was not a right
All humans have basic rights. Citizens of sovereign states are granted certain privileges and immunities by that state. There are things a German citizen can get away with in Germany that you could not. There are things a Mexican in Mexico can get away with that you can not. It has nothing to do with human rights, but with the advantages of being the citizen of certain country while residing in that country. If all foreigners were fully entitled to all the privileges of American citizenship, what would be the significance of being an American citizen?
The founders meant equal before God. As to Gingrich immigration plan, I like it.
I have a cousin who was murdered by an illegal alien, but hey, so long as we have an immigration policy that suits your particular religious bent, that’s just fine isn’t it?
“Do you have your rights because you are a citizen or because ALL MEN are CREATED Equal and ENDOWED by their creator?”
All men are created equal; however, those who are not citizens of a country cannot partake of all of its allowances. Laws are made to be followed, not broken.
Lincoln’s words do not defend anything you appear to be claiming.
