"...deal with this as a comprehensive approach that starts with controlling the border"
"...ultimately you have to find some system – once you’ve put every piece in place, which includes the guest worker program, you need something like a World War II Selective Service Board that, frankly, reviews the people who are here."
“...if you’ve come here recently, you have no ties to this country, you ought to go home, period. If you’ve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, you’ve been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I don’t think we’re going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out.”
“The Krieble Foundation is a very good red card program that says you get to be legal, but you don’t get a pass to citizenship."
“I do believe if you’ve been here recently and have no ties to the US, we should deport you. I do believe we should control the border. I do believe we should have very severe penalties for employers, but I would urge all of you to look at the Krieble Foundation plan.”
Don’t bother posting what Newt actually said, there are too many here who are perfectly willing to tell what he actually means, as far as they are concerned. If Newt says he is for amnesy they will slam him, if he says he is for controlling the borders, they will say he is a lying beltway pol. It really is pointless to argue with those who do not want to hear facts, but prefer to deal in supposition.
