"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."

Perhaps the author of that quote should read my post 15. Gingrich offered specifics:

control the border
guest worker program
review board
deportation in specific cases
very severe penalties for employers

He also suggested considering the Krieble Foundation plan which is even more “specific.”

At the site you linked, after it says “overall” his platform is “unhelpful,” among the evidence offered:

Gingrich says that enforcing the current law would eliminate 80 per cent of the problem

and

“an illegal should receive an amnesty only in exceptional circumstances.”

That seems pretty specific to me. There’s more specific stuff there, as well, including mention of a verification program.

Also, it says “Unlike many who talk about the need to secure the border, Rep. Gingrich has recently been very strong and specific about doing so.”

If you read that far...
