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...
You are witnessing a frenzied hate-fest. Truth nor reason have any place in this planned irrationality. The DNC has succeeded in mischaracterizing the issues, again, with the expert help of freepers who hate Hispanics for being poor and daring to illegally immigrate to America two deacdes ago. So now one of the most eggregious humanitarian insults is to play out toward Latinos and Hispanics if the hate mongers have their way. What a spectacle, complete with confalting registering presence here and citizenship conflated to mean amnesty. The specious conflating of voluntary registration for legalization rather than criminality abd absolution citizenship is the hallmark of this hate fest. Sadly, it is an act of desperation at the thought of Newt Gingrich rising in the polls which tempts some freepers to leap onto the hate train and promote the lspecious conflating and outright lies. But they’ll tell you how honest they’re posting and how they are not mongering hate, all the while unable to see and comprehend how they are spittling forth on cue what the DNC has trapped them into expressing for the world to see. What a treat at Freerepublic. How special to spittle forth unconstrained hate toward all illegal immigrants and their families, in the name of ‘protecting Free America from MS13 and the criminal of drug cartels invading from Mexico. Oh sure, they will concede, there are some few illegals who have only broken immigration law and have lived in America peacefully for a decade or more, but they do not count where the cattle cars can rid US of the criminal element. Disgusting. One begins to see these crusaders are not so much about fixing the illegal immigration problem as they are about insuring that Newt Gingrich will not be the Republican nominee. Disgusting. And quite revealing that these samehate mongers now try to include Herman Cain in their little festival. The default candidate must end up being Milt Rominy or else in the mind of some of the agitprops. The rest are merely being herded by the stealthy.
Had he not mentioned that organization, he would have been able to walk back some of the less palatable portions of his comments. Unfortunately his several endorsements of Krieble that night really let the cat out of the bag.
