A system like Gingrich suggests is not humane: it sets up an entire class of people as non-citizens in our nation. That is wrong.
What this really is, is an attempt to appease businesses who use illegal alien labor, period.
If Gingrish cannot follow the law like any leader is supposed to instead of coming up with tortuous schemes to circumvent the law, then he isn’t worthy to be President of the U.S.A.
The simple fact is that we currently have a “de facto” blanket amnesty in place already, and by making it official I believe there is hope the government can get what it really needs from the foreign invaders: contributions to Social Security so that Yanquis can retire, income taxes for federal & state coffers, and it would confer on the invaders the right to buy homes & cars (they’re not just let in to work, but to consume as well).
I don’t support amnesty, but I certainly don’t support the current inaction either. There is no doubt we can deport the 25 million+ that are already in this country; if we won’t do that, then let’s tax them so that they can contribute taxes for their children’s education, their fellow invaders’ welfare & food stamps, the healthcare they’ve destroyed in most areas they infest because of non-payment for treatment, etc.

They are already here, and set up with the freebies. Newt is proposing a system like the Germans use, where Turks who have been there for years are never granted citizenship - but they contribute to the tax base.
I don’t want amnesty, but inaction isn’t any more acceptable. Get them out, our tax them the way you do the people who currently pay for the housing, education, food stamps, etc. consumed by illegals. If “amnesty” is required for the latter, then do it.
No...the class of legal migrant workers has been here for years. They choose to do what it takes to qualify for that status.
Illegals, OTOH, don’t want to jump through those hoops.
Newt is not circumventing the law. In fact, he’s following it.
