Newt described how, once the border is secure, he would go about finding and deporting those who were not embedded longterm in their communities. The Newt-haters here conveniently overlook the fact that, as with other things, Newt is the only candidate with a fully thought-out plan, and which decidedly does not include citizenship. Those are the facts as of last night's debate, but many here prefer lying to telling the truth.

Newt described how, once the border is secure, he would go about finding and deporting those who were not embedded longterm in their communities. The Newt-haters here conveniently overlook the fact that, as with other things, Newt is the only candidate with a fully thought-out plan, and which decidedly does not include citizenship. Those are the facts as of last night's debate, but many here prefer lying to telling the truth.

Here is the problem with what Newt said last night. He is supposed to be the smartest guy in the room,but there is a really good reason why others have not said what they would with those already here, we don't have a secure border. Specifying a plan Like Newt did last night with an open border could cause a disaster for those of us living in border states.

Newt was leading in some polls going into that debate and what he said could signal to people in Mexico to get here now because 'Newt is going to let us stay!' Was Newt's plan right? maybe, I don't believe the American people have the will to throw people out of this country. But it was irresponsible for him to say that in the position he is in now and on the stage that he said it. That leads me to question his judgement and knowledge of what is actually happening on the border.

There was no reason for him to say it last night, his answer should have been, "Secure the Border, then we'll talk". By doing so it leaves me to believe he was pandering to moderates to take votes from Mittens, and being disrespectful, once again, to the base (TEA Party).

Exactly. He did his homework. The others just say ‘what we need’ and everyone gets excited hearing what we already know. That seems enough for them with like you said - no plan attached to their rhetoric.

Yes, they sure appear to not prefer the truth as we can see here.
