“he is promising a bigger amnesty than the giant blanket amnesty of 1986”
Newt has said no such thing. What he did say is what do you do with those that have been here for 25 years. I don’t agree with Newt on that but lets be honest in what Newt has said.
Everybody knows that the residency “evidence” can be created for everybody and their cousin. Document fraud, just like in 1986 is automatic.
Local boards granting amnesty in liberal areas would give amnesty to everybody so CA can grant 100m amnesty decisions.
Only a fool would believe this bs.
Newt is either a gigantic fool, or more likely, true believer in amnesty.
The most partisan democrat Chuck Shumar said nice things about Newt’s plan when he announced it.
Why?
It only takes a moment to realize that Shumar figured there would be unlimited opportunity for locals to game the system. In counties where there were few illegals and english was spoken by nearly everyone —the 25 year rule would be hewn to. However, in counties —mostly in the south east but also in florida and elsewhere— where spanish was mostly spoken the % of illegals was 40%—then most illegals would be waved through—even if they had just crossed the border. It wouldn’t stop there. These counties would become gateway counties into the country.
The result would be the concentration of illegals in the southwest, florida, illinois and new york would accelerate.
In the very least the democrats would attain to an unbreakable lock on the country (because they would control california, texas florida, new york and illinios) and at worst the country would break up.
