After Newts Immigration comment in the last debate, I don’t see her getting behind him.

Sarah said earlier this year that we have to keep the illegals who are already here who are working because it is impractical to find and deport all of them. So Sarah and Newt are pretty much on the same side of the issue.

“After Newts Immigration comment in the last debate, I don’t see her getting behind him.”

Typical bandwagon/pile on comment.

Now Newt goes everywhere in the media (they smell blood in the water, when it's actually cat nip) explaining his ideas on solving our border/immigration problems. He garners votes for securing the border. He secures Hispanic votes for his sensible approach to the resident illegal immigrant problem.

Controversial? Yes. When better to broach it than when you are on top in the polls and have time to explain your positions? Brilliant strategic move by Newt and the press thinks it's a misstep. LOL.

Newt’s comments were spot on. This problem has been going on for 30 years plus. No administration has tackled the problem including Reagan.

He needs the hispanic vote. Blank check? No, but there needs to be some common sense here.

You willing to pick the crops, clean the rooms, be the maid or take care of the landscaping? I didn’t think so.

Do you think they all should be deported?
There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

....To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

You might be shocked. How many illegals that have established themselves for many years have been deported to date? Surprise!!!!!! What Newt suggested is happening right now without Government control. I have a couple of them right next to me. And they are very nice people. They have a couple of noisy kids but have learned their bad behavior from guess who.
