Absolutely right! and btw..Newt NEVER said any illegals would be granted citizenship or amnesty.
Definition: Amnesty, from the same Greek root as "amnesia," forgives past crimes and removes them from the record for future purposes. In the context of immigration, amnesty is commonly defined as granting legal status to a group of individuals unlawfully present in a country. It overlooks the alien's illegal entry and ongoing illegal presence and creates a new legal status that allows the recipient to live and work in the country.
You are confusing amnesty with the right to citizenship. You don't need a path to citizenship to have an amnesty. In fact, many recipents of the 1986 amnesty chose not to be citizens but just green card holders, Legal Permanent Residents who enjoy almost all the rights and benefits of being a citizen except voting.
Do you support Obama's current "backdoor amnesty" of over 300,000 deportation cases that are being reviewed to allow their deportation rulings to be overturned and closed allowing them to stay and receive work permits?
