HOGWASH and HORSE HOCKEY!!! This was in Texas and we have the DREAM ACT so illegals can attend state universities and pay in-state tuition.
Whether the story is accurate or not is beside the point. You know how the media operates:
If we are stupid enough to nominate a candidate without a plan for "the twelve million", the media will be flooded with this stuff, right up to election day. The public will seethe with contempt for those "inhuman" republicans who want to drive innocent youths to suicide.
Newt is smart enough to foresee this kind of ambush coming, and work around it. And the railbirds criticize him for affirming that we need to be "humane."
But he wanted you to pay it and give him a million bucks so he retire after graduation and live in style in Mexico .
