O'REILLY: All right, so you would take a tough approach and you're not sending anymore federal money on any level to anybody that doesn't aggressively support the federal law. Ok. Final -

GINGRICH: Including by the way I would reward, let me just say, I would reward and encourage South Carolina, Arizona and those states that are correctly using local law enforcement and I would withdraw the federal lawsuits because they are doing the right thing trying to help us find people who are here illegally.

Remember Newt comes from Harrisburg, Pa. which eliminates him from the human race.

Here is my idea. go to the applications for all those who applied for a green card and waited for like forever to get into America and let them in. then get the armed forces to get those who have been living in America illegally for God only knows how long and ship them back to their own country, kids and all. It is not fair for all those who didn’t break the law and stayed in their own country to get into America with a green card. Not fair to let those in who are taking advantage of the good US of A. get them the hell out.

In the CNN debate, Gingrich came out in favor of the Kriebel Foundation Red Card Immigrant Guest Worker Visa Program for the 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 illegal in the USA that offers any illegal alien in the Red Card guest worker program an opportunity after completing several years in the program to apply for a Green Card and thus a path to citizenship. Then they go to the head of the line ahead of immigrants seeking legal entry into the USA. That is known as Back Door Amnesty.

Gingrich specifically denied outright amnesty. He said illegals would have to prove they have been here significant time and had paid taxes or been model residents with children. How they paid taxes without a Social Security number I can't determine, but that criteria would still require most to leave. He said rounding up 12 million is not acceptable to the American people.

Gingrich has always had that position. The big problem with Gingrich is that he favors amnesty for the 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 illegal aliens in the USA.

Google "Operation Wetback" and see how it was done after WW2.

Or, maybe the Gingrinch could send Sheriff Joe's troops to Scottsdale and arrest the rich white people who wave the dollar bills that keep the Mexicans coming because they're too cheap to pay a living wage to Americans.
