how can you deny 20 million plus residents the right to vote?

made citizens by that democrat president

I don't know ask Puerto Rico..he.he.. You can't vote unless you're a full citizen. That's fairly well understood the world over.

Why hasn't Obama granted them Citizenship already?

The real question is what’s the criteria for deportation and how do you handle those that can stay? Forcefully sending all 20 million men, women, and children back over the border won’t happen. If you think that, then tell me who is going to do it and exactly how.....really....? Don't forget a lot of those little ones are now American Citizens.

Give it up. Your man Newt is going down from self-inflicted wounds.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens and can vote. But not inside Puerto Rico for a federal office because they are not a state. Try reading the Constitution. Puerto Ricans living in the 50 US states can vote to their hearts content. I guess you are considering a similar island enclave for the illegals so that they will not be able to vote as Newt says - Guam? Johnston Island?

And by the way, Obama will grant them amnesty and citizenship by executive order if he is reelected. He just can’t do it now because he is not going to stir up the 75% of the US population that says No to amnesty before an election.

And removal by attrition does work. Why do you think they are clearing out of Alabama etc. in large numbers.

Sorry, Newt’s history. Best you move on to other viable candidates.

"You can't vote unless you're a full citizen."

Not true. Citizenship is not required in many areas of the US for LOCAL elections.

The Puerto Ricans don't want citizenship!

They can have all the entitlements without the hassle.

Same with all those folks in the US Virgin Islands. However, at least in St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John they enforce the immigration laws. You don't see any illegal Mexicans coming into the communites and staying there forever!
