Never mind the fact that Santorum seemed to agree with Newt on illegal immigration during the Sep. 7 2011 Reagan Library Debate.
Roll tape....
SANTORUM: My solution is very similar to Newt Gingrich's. We should not have a debate talking about how we don't want people to come to this country, but we want them to come here like my grandfather and my father came here. They made sacrifices. They came in the 1920s. There were no promises. There were no government benefits. They came because they wanted to be free and they wanted to be good law-abiding citizens.
BTW, maybe somebody can answer this for me.
If Newt wants to legalize illegals who have been here more than 25 years and if the last amnesty was about 26 years ago, just how many illegals would be covered by this new amnesty?
What I will never understand is how Perry never recovered from the “instate tuition” thing, which he could not veto and had nothing to do with illegal immigration.
Then Newt promotes Amnesty and folks cheered.
