This could easily be the end of his campaign
Absolutely!
Especially the “Law Abiding Citizens” comment!
I think Newt was certainly courageous bringing this to the forefront....not to mention it will be surely discussed at tables over the holdiay and few watching the media’s spin on TV. So the timing was good despite some thinking he’s for amnesty style appraoches.
If he weathers the backlash from this I have no doubt he’ll take the Presidency. If he doesn’t and goes down then better now than later.
Indeed. Gingrich's idea to "legalize" the illegals would be a political and national nightmare. Upon such legalization, how do you go about deporting anyone? But, more importantly, organizations like La Raza would have a field day. The next step would be to agitate for amnesty and citizenship.
The most expedient way to get to illegals to go is to enforce the existing laws, cut off government hand-outs by requiring birth certificates, punish employers who hire illegals and seal the confounded border.
