But only after he has legalized (Amnesty) those already here illegally.

"Legality" is only offered to people who can support themselves, speak English, have no criminal records and pay for health care (in other words, "productive members of society") after they have paid a $5,000 penalty for coming here.

Two comments:

1. What's the need? Implement the simple 3-step plan I've posted and you don't need the Federal Bureaucracy that goes with Newt's plan.
2. Sounds good on paper, but if you really think this will come to conclusion successfully, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

And yet the myriad of felonies that almost all of them have committed, from aquiring false IDs (Driver's License, SocialSecurity IDs, etc.) and using them to obtain social services (Also felonies) are forgiven them.
