Texas is awash with illegals,I guess Newts amnesty plan of ILLEGAL RESIDENTS WITH 25 yr. roots was deemed unacceptable. We still cannot afford that many getting grants & instate rates.
Santorum does not do amnesty schemes...guess the word got out.

“Santorum does not do amnesty schemes...guess the word got out.”

Question: what would you do to remove the illegal immigrants from our country?

Santorum: I’ve said this from the very beginning. What — I’m the son of an Italian immigrant. I believe in immigration. I believe that immigration is an important part of the lifeblood of this country.

But what we have is a problem of an unsecure border. Unlike Governor Perry, I believe we need to build more fence. I need — I believe that we need to secure the border using technology and more personnel. And until we build that border, we should neither have storm troopers come in and throw people out of the country nor should we provide amnesty.

What we should do is enforce the laws in this country with respect to employers, and we should secure the border. And then after the border is secured, then we can deal with the problem that are in this country. But I — I think it’s very important that we understand and we explain to folks that immigration is an important lifeblood of this country, something that I strongly support and something that we have to do legally if we’re going to have — have respect for the law.

Its just the “feel good” polling right now in Texas. Once Santornem’s rocket ride fades, you’ll see Newt come back. When no one’s watching and no one knows who they really pull, even the Evangelicals will vote common sense. And common sense is Newt.

It is easy to reproduce and have your kid reproduce. In general, illegals are not having trouble with this. The fact that illegals can be grandmas is nothing to worship or pity. Older people use up a lot of medical care and taxpayers get stuck paying for it. We have no lack of poor; there is no need to import same.
