Rush nailed it (as he usally does) when he opined that once you make these illegals "legal," how long doe anyone think it will be, before the ACLU files a lawsusit (appropriately "Judge shopped") and argues it is "Unconstitutional" to make these people "legal" while refusing to grant them "Citizenship?"
Probably about as long as it takes to read this comment.
Moreover, HOW is one going to "prove" length of time in country?
These MILLIONS will be put on the "Honor System" (yeah right!!!) and almost all will swear on their Mother's grave or bible, or whatever, they have lived here 25 years and 1 month.
No "Amnesty" Newt?
Maybe not "de facto," but certainly "de jure" and if it "Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.......ITS AMNESTY!"

Now we have TWO BURRITOS. Perry and Newt. White on the outside and beans on the inside.
What the answer to all these illegals who have been here for 25 years is....”Well we let them overstay for 25 stinking years, enough is enough and its time to go back to Mejico. Plus, they can take all the money and knowledge they gained illegally. Can’t beat that.
Round up 200,000 a month. Thats just 4000 per State. LOL. Ok California and Texas would have higher quotas. Still that gets you to TEN MILLION in ONE TERM.
I doubt it. I don’t believe anything he says. Did he want to pay for his own limo driver? Of course not, thats our job. Millions from Freddie Mac for an hour of “work” a month... whats the real story? He was giving them legitimacy to get the GOP to back off oversight of the “model organization”
He is totally corrupt
People that fall for this plan are dummer than doorknobs. Look what creating a quasi-legal status in “resident” did for Texas. Taxpayers are on the hook for the differential between instate vs. out-of-state tuition rates for ingrate DREAMERS.Then as pointed out shrewdly by Rush a court case will easily create an “equal protection” lawsuit granting equal rights to “residents” as citizens. Take note of the AG lawsuit from Louisiana regarding distorted political representation by counting illegals in the census. This boys and girls is called “loss of the political nation” and will equal a taxpayer funded takeover of your nation paid for in blood. Is that really what you want?
Enforce the laws...its never been done EXCEPT by the courageous move by states like AL,AZ,GA,SC......ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE ENFORCEMENT A CHANCE.......
Newt voted for it before he voted against it. Newt is sounding a lot like John Kerry these days.
Look: I get that you people are not satisfied with Gingrich. Some of you clearly hate the man. That is your right. But spamming threads with nothing but attacks and no solutions is not productive. This party his less than six weeks to come up with a viable alternative to Mitt Romney, or the music stops and that’s who we’re left with. The responsible thing to to would be to offer an alternative candidate and his or her serious alternative.
Nobody thinks that the govt. could or should go out and deport 20 million illegals. Your cheesehead argument is used by the pro-amnesty crowd everyday.
The answer is: enforce the laws, all of them, and the illegals will self-deport. It’s been VERY successful where implemented.
Yes, and Perry has never been for amnesty, or open borders.
And I don't hate Newt. When you say something like that you sound like a liberal who says we hate Obama because we don't like his politics. We can oppose the man w/o hating him.
Free Republic is about promoting and defending conservatism, not the liberal position of amnesty. If you continue posting pro-amnesty pieces conservatives will continue rebuking them. Get used to it.
If you are going to accuse us of "Hating" Newt, at least do us the courtesy of proving your point by posting the occasions where we have shown we hate him.
Oh for Pete's sake! If you don't like the word "hate," disregard it. The clear suggestion was that a more valuable use of everyone's time would be for you to be posting alternatives instead of single minded attacks. However, if you prefer only the attacks, then, yeah, "hate" sounds about right from where I'm sitting.
Liberal tactic #3.
I don't hate Newt. I think he would make a great VP.
Again, name your alternative, and why you like their own plan so much.

Rick Perry's open border speech:
"Thank you Senator Lucio. President Nevarez, UT-Pan American is to be commended for its vision and leadership in hosting this unprecedented border summit in the beautiful Texas town of Edinburg.
... The NAFTA agreement not only signaled a new era of economic possibility, but a new era of bi-national cooperation. That is why it is wrong, and inherently detrimental to our relationship with Mexico for the U.S. Congress to pursue a protectionist policy that forbids Mexican trucks from U.S. roadways.
... Legislation authored by border legislators Pat Haggerty and Eddie Lucio establishes an important study that will look at the feasibility of bi-national health insurance. This study recognizes that the Mexican and U.S. sides of the border compose one region, and we must address health care problems throughout that region.
... And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate. Those young minds are a part of a new generation of leaders, the doors of higher education must be open to them. The message is simple: educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.
... President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. "
