What he said, in essence, was that some one who had been here for 25 years or more and had established roots in the community, had a family with children and grand-children and was a productive member of society should not be deported. "Speaking to an overflow crowd here this weekend, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich did not back down from his call for a “path to legality” for illegal immigrants who have lived in the United States for 25 years or more and who have established family and community ties." http://www.nationaljournal.com/2012-presidential-campaign/gingrich-outlines-path-to-legality-for-some-illegal-immigrants-20111126 My question is what happens to those who have been here for 15 or 20 years and fulfill the same criteria mentioned above? If their status is also subject to review then one is compounding the problem and allowing even more potential illegals to obtain residency status. Establishing "local citizen boards" is creating another layer of bureaucracy. It it likely that more than 3.5 million illegals would gain permanent residence depending on the cut-off for how long they are required to have resided in the US abcnews.go.com "Thirty-five percent of the nation’s estimated 10.2 million illegal immigrants have lived in the U.S. for 15 years or more, Pew found, while 70 percent have been residents for at least a decade. Roughly half are parents of young children." The law is the law - if these people came in here illegally they should be deported. I really don't understand why one pussy foots around what is the obvious remedy. The irony is that most countries in Central and South America and for that matter in much of the world, would not tolerate illegals residing in their countries and would take punitive action against them. For some reason, we are not willing to deal with this head-on and that is why there is the prevailing attitude that given time, the illegals will attain some sort of status. It is this same desire to accommodate minorities that causes this whole rigmarole with pressing "1" for English and pressing "2" for Spanish. It is total b-s that one has to kow tow to minorities who don't know how to speak English. Don't get me wrong, I am fully supportive of legal immigration - it has been the life-blood of this nation over the decades. But for someone to by-pass the system and then expect to be legalized when millions of others are lawfully awaiting their chance to emigrate to the US is ludicrous. Penalize the employers who act contrary to the law and throw some of them into jail. Turn off the spigot in terms of benefits that are given the illegals and the problem will gradually diminish. Do what Gingrich and others advocate and we will end up legalizing many of those who are presently here illegally and set the stage for another horde of illegals to follow. Put a stop to it now and potential illegals will realize that the gravy train has come to an end.
