The former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says that “all the anger about illegal immigration” pushed him to publicly make the case for the importance of legal immigration, he told The Daily Wire.
Gingrich, along with his wife Callista Gingrich, is set to release a documentary on the value of legal immigration to the United States next month. He says the idea is to highlight immigrant stories that made the country a better place.
“Callista and I wanted to make the case for legal immigration with all of the anger about illegal immigration. We wanted a diverse range of people and people who would be plainly recognized,” Gingrich explained, later adding, “Some of them are great personal stories but not necessarily historic — but still unique in what they contributed to America. Some contribute in sort of an everyday way, some in more of a historic way.”
The documentary comes amid heated debate over immigration in the United States, both legal and illegal, even within the Republican Party. With Donald Trump set to retake the White House and secure the border, there is a significant amount of debate over other immigration restrictions, including worker visa programs that aim to bring in high-skilled workers to aid the U.S. economy. Critics say it takes jobs away from Americans, even if they’re capable of doing the job.

Shut up Newtie.
These clowns really think they can talk us back into our mental cages and abuse us some more.
More immigration at this point is a violation of the Contract with America.

A jury in California has found that the H-1B body shop Cognizant had a pattern and practice of discrimination against non-South Asian and non-Indian workers. This was a class action where the class consisted of roughly 2,000 American workers. The case now enters a second phase where the judge must determine if there was disparate impact on the plaintiffs.
This ‘immigration’ talk is very weird. They OBVIOUSLY know that the issue is toxic with the base, or they would have talked about it during the campaign, and we’d have President Harris to deal with. So why the BIG HURRY, it would seem to make a lot more sense to:
1) Take office.
2) Go after the really bad immigrants
3) Go after the Mass Migration immigrants of the past 4 years.
4) Crack-down on hiring Illegals
5) Then, maybe, discuss Guest Workers, but only in a way where they are separate from today’s Illegals (as in having to apply back home).
6) Then, maybe, H1-Bs.
We need a breather to assimilate those that are already here. Those that are coming here to live in our house need to join the family and not be separate from them or seek to replace them. America includes a culture and history; it is not just a geographical term.
Oh great, we will be lectured by another has-been gas bag.
Guess what Newt(ered)?
You cannot force anyone to watch your drivel.
Ans we will not.
So we apparently need visa workers to teach Americans ENGLISH.
What a joke.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Remember when the uniparty/RINO class used to push that illegals had to touchd down at home—and then they could come back legally?
Trump has a few times said that we’d deport people, but also let lots of people in “legally”.
Ha ha! Fooled us again!
He supported NAFTA, free trade, most favored nation status for China, trade with communist china, multiple amnesties, GATT, department of education, etc. What a loser.
Because Musk has mental issues and can’t control himself.
Because VIVEK is a jerk and wants his due
They helped Trump get into office. They want their payback.
Well, ‘newt’:
DUH!
and key comment:
“...AFTER the H-1B visa program is reformed and reduced.”
plus the obligatory zinger:
AFTER THE POROUS BORDERS ARE SEALED AND EMPLOYERS ARE PROFOUNDLY PUNISHED FOR HIRING THOSE HERE ILLEGALLY!!!!
1940: White Americans - 88.4% of the population
2010: White Americans - 63.7% of the population
2045: The US will become ‘minority white’
I was thinking it was okay to bring some highly educated but would they get to bring their families also and their families. . . on and on.
Of course they will.
Just read this headline.
Capehart: Homan’s Giving Families With Members in Country Illegally ‘No Choice’
Trump spent his first for years seeking immigration guidelines from congress.
Thats is all Newt is proposing. the guidelines rather than the chaos the democrats have given us.
The immigration issue is complex, it is going to take thinking, experimentation and some failures to get it right as it can be.
IT WILL NEVER BE PERFECT.
Shut up Newtie.
These clowns really think they can talk us back into our mental cages and abuse us some more.
THIS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE WITH NO SIMPLE ANSWERS. AND NO PERFECT ONES.
