How gullible or just plain stupid do you have to be to believe the ‘they’ll be legal but not citizens’ BS? When has any politician ever kept such a promise? During the first amnesty debate they said if we legalized the ones already here, that would be the end of it. Instead, we got a massive flood of new ones. They always say if we’ll go along with the legalization plan, they’ll secure the border. We get the legalization, and the border remains unsecured. Once these illegals are legalized [and there will be NO reliable way to tell how many have been here twenty-five vs twenty-four, eighteen, or eleven yrs. etc], if the pols don’t change their minds and make them citizens, the courts will. Anybody who says otherwise is naive or dishonest.

Exactly. It reminds me of the old comedic line - who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?

Those of us not addled by the near-frantic efforts to shape Newt into a viable anti-Romney spot this immediately as just another Beltway bait-and-switch. And we have seen this 'it isn't amnesty' nonsense countless times as well. You really have to think, just how gullible does this bunch think we are? This spin isn't even original, it's last decade's immigration reform sh** sandwich served up with a fresh pickle.

I will give Newt some credit - his term 'path to non-deportation' is exploring uncharted territory in amnesty doublespeak. At least he felt compelled to come up with a new way to lie to us.

"How gullible or just plain stupid do you have to be to believe"

Well said! And that is exactly how I see it too. In 1986 we were told ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY, how did that work out?
