For those of you too busy to read Newt's full remarks, here's the highlights. Imagine your preferred candidate saying them. Read them again and try to find the parts your candidate would reject:

"...deal with this as a comprehensive approach that starts with controlling the border"

"...ultimately you have to find some system – once you’ve put every piece in place, which includes the guest worker program, you need something like a World War II Selective Service Board that, frankly, reviews the people who are here."

“...if you’ve come here recently, you have no ties to this country, you ought to go home, period. If you’ve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, you’ve been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I don’t think we’re going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out.”

“The Krieble Foundation is a very good red card program that says you get to be legal, but you don’t get a pass to citizenship."

“I do believe if you’ve been here recently and have no ties to the US, we should deport you. I do believe we should control the border. I do believe we should have very severe penalties for employers, but I would urge all of you to look at the Krieble Foundation plan.”

Got it? Now let's try the thought experiment. Take Mr. Cain. Does Herman Cain think we should not:

control the border?
have a guest worker program?
have a review board for the people who are here?
deport those who came here recently and have no ties?
have very severe penalties for employers?
consider the Krieble Foundation plan?

What parts of the above do Cain, Perry or Bachmann reject?

"While in Congress in the 1980s and 1990s, Gingrich tended to support illegal-alien amnesties. Later, he made fairly specific arguments against mass legalizations. But recently, his statements have lacked any clarity about what he proposes actually doing with the millions of illegal aliens. Overall, his platform on amnesties is Unhelpful."

Lady Lucky, an excellent post but you are talking over the heads of those that just want to play “gotcha” with Newt and refuse to take the time to understand the facts. It is amazing how so many read or listen to one short clip and fall into the msm frenzy which has destroyed many good candidates. I see you have done your homework

If you’ve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, you’ve been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I don’t think we’re going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out.”

So let me get this straight Mr. Speaker. If Juan Ortiz-Rodriguez-Sanchez was in the USA for 25 years, but illegally took welfare, illegally filled out his tax form or used a fake ID, then he needs to go back to his native counry, RAPIDO.
