Yeah, Newt really stepped in it this time on the illegal alien issue. He is toast.
Seal the borders. Deport the illegals.
Folks are making too big a deal over this. Newt certainly doesn't advocate surrendering to the thugs as somebody put it and I'm pretty sure he said to enforce the laws on the books. That would include this tragedy.
I personally think the border should be guarded by US military forces that we withdraw from Europe. Civilian Border Patrol should handle arrests resulting from firefight survivors. ROE should reflect the invasion of home soil aspects that we've been dealing with for so many decades. That's just for penetrations of our national borders. Folks already here illegally is another matter. Please hold your flames. I sent my fireproof jammies out to be cleaned.
