Discouraging is an understatement. Amnesty is the last thing this country needs. Newt was right about one thing, it will damage this country.
You just can not be an American conservative and be for amnesty for illegals. If 1986 taught the nation anything it is that amnesty only begets more illegal invaders. I was supporting Newt but his amnesty proposal has put me very close to an “Anyone but Newt” position. I am giving Ron Paul another look. Sad that a crazy Ron Paul could be the best we’ve got this election cycle.
