Had Newt criticized Romney for being pro-amnesty, and Rubio then defended Romney, then it would be warranted to criticize Rubio. But Newt’s ad criticized Romney *for being anti-immigrant*—in other words, for not supporting an anti-deportation policy such as the one that Newt proposed for illegal aliens who have been here for awhile and haven’t broken any laws (other than immigration laws, presumably). I agree with Rubio that being in favor of legal immigration but in favor of deporting illegal aliens does not make one “anti-immigrant”; don’t you?

I certainly prefer Newt to Romney overall (although I prefer Santorum to both), but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to cheer Newt on if he criticizes any Republican *from the left*. And Marco Rubio gets enough grief from the MSM (and Spanish-language networks) for being a Hispanic Senator who is opposed to open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens without having to deal with the MSM saying “even the Gingrich campaign believes that being in favor of the deportation of illegal aliens is “anti-immigrant.””

Well he is...

anyone supporting the illegal aliens is anti-immigrant...

you cant have it both ways...

Either you support immigration and think it good and necessary...rule of law..

or you think its OK for illegal aliens to break our sovereign laws by just waltsing in here and staying and taking jobs away from Americans and getting freebies that Americans cant get..

and screaming and demanding so called “rights” that immigrants already have...

words are inportant

meanings are important

rhetoric is important...

an immigrant is someone who comes to the US legally with correct papers etc

an illegal alien is someone who sneaks in and is not here legally

to be PRO-immigrant or PRO-immigration you must support the people who immigrated here

AKA enteredd LEGALLY

there are no “immigrants” who came any other way but LEGALLY

someone from another country is an ALIEN

someone who enterd here LEGALLY either has a temporary visa

and is to leave the country again by the day it expires

commonly called a VISITOR and he cannot work during the time he is here..

or he has a temporary visa to cover the time until he or she receives receives an Alien Registration Card AKA a Green Card (usually within 90 days)

and again he may not work until he receives his “green card”

The Alien Registration Card has no expiration date..

With it the immigrant can work and come and go around the US and also leave and come back as long as he is not out of the US more than 1 year...

When the immigrant becomes an American citizen the green card is surrendered and the number from it goes at the right top corner on the naturalization document..

That person is an immigrant..

all persons entering the US “without documentation” are illegal aliens..

so you have immigrants

and you have illegal aliens

Romney has supported illegal aliens for years

Romney is anti-immigration...
