The concept of "self-deportation" isn't new and certainly wasn't invented by Romney. We've been discussing it on Free Republic immigration threads for at least 12 years.

“You have to live in a world of Swiss bank accounts and Cayman Island accounts and automatic $20 million income for no work to have some fantasy this far from reality,” Gingrich told Univision interviewer

How on earth is this type of comment coming from a so called strong conservative.

Newt’s right though. It’s fantastical to expect that millions are simply going to voluntarily self-deport once the border is sealed and the laws are enforced. Yes, some will leave. But many will remain.

Pandering for the illegal alien loving vote in the Florida primary might work, but how does Newt expect to outbid ObaMao in the general election?

We sure have. So, why does Newt mock the concept? Does it bother him, or does he think it will bother potential Florida voters? D'uh. They can't be conservatives, right?

There was a time when Romney tried to out-gay and out-abortion Kennedy. Kennedy, a left winger, was amazed at the attempt from someone most saw as more conservative than him. Now Romney knows how Kennedy felt.

Instead of going back many will move into crime, drug dealing, illegal gambling, prostitution.

You have to physically ship them out.

It’s no plan at all, like everything Romney says.

Somebody needs to inform Newt of the cold, hard facts ~ WE DON’T WANT THEM. They have homes they can go to. We don’t.

Well while I do not like Myth, I do agree with Myth’s plan, I dislike Newt’s immigration position even less, let’s hope we can get Newt to rethink his position.

Romney claims those who hire illegals will be in trouble if they hire illegals.

“Gingrich said it was unrealistic for millions of illegal immigrants in the United States to voluntarily leave the country”

I DON’T CARE IF IT’S UNREALISTIC. GET IT DONE.

That doesn't make it any less realistic a "solution" to the total illegal immigration problem.

Newt's proposals for securing the border by a date certain, widespread eVerify, ending the war on AZ and other states will encourage "self-deportation" for a number who are here for work but it won't address those retired types here for 25 years with grandkids and deep community ties Newt talks about dealing with after everything else has been done.

Newt has a detailed, multi-stage, end-to-end plan; Romney's just pivoting and pulling in talking-points he thinks can inure himself to elements of the GOP base.

No, it isn't, and yes, we have. And so has Newt. In the recent past, Newt has not only advocated the use of E-verify, he has proposed outsourcing it to folks who are actually good at verification:

Q: Should we make all businesses use E-Verify, a government database, to check whether or not new hires are illegal? Or would that turn small businessmen into immigration agents?

GINGRICH: Well, let me say, first of all, I think we would be better off to outsource E-Verify to American Express, MasterCard or Visa, because they actually know how to run a program like that without massive fraud. Second, the program should be as easy as swiping your credit card when you buy gasoline. And so I would ask of employers, what is it you would object to in helping the US in dealing with the problem involving illegal immigration?

Q: Would you support each state enforcing the immigration laws since the federal government is not?

GINGRICH: I strongly favor 100% control of the border, and I strongly favor English as the official language of government. I favor modernizing the legal visa system. We have a terribly antiquated legal system while our border is too open for people who are illegal.

Source: 2011 GOP Google debate in Orlando FL , Sep 22, 2011

Now, of course, the whole purpose of E-verify is to cause self-deportation. After all, if they can't work and can't collect welfare, then the only illegals able to stay would be the independently wealthy. And there are too few of those to matter.
