Because we can't deport them? OK, fine.
Next question, if we can't deport them, should we allow them to be resident students as opposed to non-residents? Because they live here and pay state taxes, unlike people living in other states?
The idiotic thing about this debate is Newt wants to grant ALL of them amnesty but Perry gets ridiculed over tuition rates and Newt is leading the polls.
I thought for sure that Newt would decline in popularity after those amnesty remarks in the last debate. Clearly, this election is about perceived "capability" among republican voters and not much else. You can tell the people want someone with smarts and good speaking ability. Issues don't really amount to squat this time around.
The Democrats like the idea of a gray-haired, GOP established white guy running against Obama.
After all, it worked so well in 2008.
Sad to see how many people's eyes are glued shut and it's mostly due to emotional attachments to former candidates or potential candidates.
