5) For recent and future illegal immigrants, the key apparent features of the Krieble Plan–the unlimited number of “red cards” and the ease of obtaining them**–effectively means something close to open borders. Millions of impoverished workers now living abroad could flood the U.S. labor market legally. Krieble’s plan is similar to the Papoon for President drug plan, which would “eliminate all illegal drugs” by simply making them all legal. Krieble similarly ends illegal immigration effectively legalizing it (“a country where there’s no more illegality,” as Gingrich put it).
Yep, Newt is speaking out of both sides of his mouth by saying only a few old-timer illegals would get amnesty while he also endorses the Kriebel plan.
6) In embracing the Krieble plan, Gingrich fatally abandons the logic of “enforcement first,” which is that if you secure the border you can eventually have an amnesty–because the secure border will then be able to keep out future waves of wannabe illegals whom the amnesty will inevitably attract.
The Newt zombies were tearing into me yesterday for daring to question Newt's sincerity about border security first. And here it turns out he was insincere all along. A pox on all the Newt zombies on FR, where the only part of their brain still working is the bite reflex.
Well of course they would .....Newt's very much aware of the possibility of more coming to the border and that with any plan that even remotely looks like America is finally going to address the illegal issue...it always happens....it stirs the nests.
.so that's no news whatsoever....so why put it out there in the first place when you know you'll get slammed? Some people enjoy abuse...they wear it like a badge. I'll assume you're not one of those?
