on vacation "while young Americans in our cities are massacred" by illegal immigrants.
Gingrich, who is considering a run for the White House, was referring to a recent crime in Newark, N.J., where three college students were murdered execution style in a school playground.
One of the suspects -- Jose Lachira Carranza -- is an illegal immigrant from Peru who was on bail on charges of raping a child when the murders occurred.
Gingrich said another suspect is an illegal immigrant from Nicaragua with a long record of arrests who was ordered deported in 1993 but never left.
However, The (Newark) Star Ledger reported Tuesday that the man -- Rodolfo Godinez -- obtained permanent legal residency in 2001.
The Newark Police Department did not return requests for comment.
Gingrich said that the "war here at home" against illegal immigrants is "even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan."
"The federal government's incompetence, timidity and uncoordinated efforts to identify and deport criminal illegal aliens have had devastating consequences for innocent Americans," Gingrich said, in a newsletter.
Gingrich said that the "war here at home" against illegal immigrants is "even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan."
"As an American, I am sickened that the political leadership of America could continue to go on vacation and do nothing," he said. "Why are the August vacations for the president and the Congress more precious than the lives of young Americans who are being killed because of government incompetence and inaction."
Gingrich said that President Bush should call Congress back into special session for three days to pass a bill in honor of the slain students.
The measure should order the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security to outsource the development of an identification system to check the legal status of felons and have it up and running by Jan. 1, 2008, he said.
In addition, it should withdraw federal aid from any city, county or state that refuses to participate in checking the legal status of arrested felons, Gingrich said.
Authorities say six people, including four juveniles, were involved in the Aug. 4 murders of Terrance Aeriel, 18; Dashon Harvey, 20; and Iofemi Hightower, 20, according to news reports. A fourth victim, 19-year-old Natasha Aeriel, survived after being shot in the head.
Three of the six suspects are in custody, including Carranza, who turned himself into authorities. Three are at large.
Police have said that robbery was the motive for the killings.
Sunday? Christian? Did your reading of Newt’s words bring this into focus as well? I didn’t address these matters. Ah yes, perhaps that’s the reason you are...
Strike Three Newt
YOUR OUT
Girls? I’m offended... That would be a cat fight. I’d pay tickets to see one, but I’m not qualified to participate. Heh heh heh...
I had only been here long enough to figure out a few “who’s who’s”, so when I came back under a new name, I minded my P and Q’s when it came to that subject.
Here’s the kicker. The trigger man was out on bail for the abuse (rape) of the four year old girl. She was in his custody, caretaker. He bailed out on $150,000 bail. Did you know he was arrested earlier this year for a bar brawl? He bailed out on that for $50,000 bail.
So this is the third strike. Two of the strikes weren’t enough to keep him locked up. He bailed and killed people. You just can’t find a better judge than the guy who let this bastard out.
And who do you consider on the Right? Bush? Give me a break! Bush utterly sold out the Right. He never was the Right. He just posed as one of us to get our support.
Newt can scream on all he wants to - he’s not getting my vote.
He is right. Maybe he didn’t do anything in the past, but is that any excuse for the politicians not to protect the nation today?
What about Congress? Did no bad things ever happen when Newt was Speaker of the House?
I am sick of Republicans. I want Conservatives.
this thing is serious. always has been.
these politician are so scared of the name calling
and racial branding. they just need to grow a set.
step up and swing at the ball.
they will find out there are a heck of croud to cheer them on. WASHINGTON ARE YOU THERE !!!!!!!
Newt should run or shut-up.
I just heard about this tonight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5nKBQFHOsc
Bush calling the 9/11 terrorists "19 kids who were lured" and that we should understand them. He can't even keep up the pretense anymore.
Who are you, and what have you done with Newt?
In California we had just voted on Prop 187, so I think you quite have your facts straight.
DoughtyOne cutting through the BS and addressing the core issue, as usual.
