“As for Newt, I thought it was courageous for him to bring this up and be willing to take the heat for it-knowing what the reaction would be in threads like”
Where’s Newts compassion for the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and would do most of the jobs these illegals now have.
These illegals are taking jobs that most Americans will now do to survive!

I don’t think Newt was talking tonight about illegal workers. I think he was talking specifically about at some point down the road having to make some decisions about who stays and who goes, and saying that realistically, a person who’s been here 25 years, has children and grandchildren born here (which would make them US citizens), and is an upstanding member of the community, you aren’t going to be able to send people like that home.
He makes a clear distinction here between people like this, and those who have been here only a couple of years and have no real ties to America. In neither case did he address the issue of workers.
Another thing, I believe he said that this is something we would have to deal with AFTER the border is secured.
Now, I’m not a Newt supporter, I lean toward Perry more than anyone at this point, and Newt has said a lot of things in the past that trouble me. But I don’t think what he said tonight was unreasonable. I think good people can disagree on the approach to dealing with this very complex problem, and what Newt suggested, though I’m not sure I totally agree with, is something that’s worth discussing later after the border security issue has been dealt with.
I was just thinking, if abortion hadn’t been legalized we would have what, 55 million more citizens from the age of 38 to newborn. The immigrant job issue to me is a non-issue. The illegal immigrant issue is to vet them and either deport or legalize.
