Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has called for "humane" treatment for otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, establishing deep family and community ties.”
COMMENTS:
I am a Tea Party conservative, but that does not mean I am
not realistic. Frankly, it is not the
fault of those illegals that we enticed to come here and allowed to
stay and set up households. They have
created ties and new lives. For us to
now toss them out because our government doesn’t have the balls, (pardon the
bluntness), to deal with the situation is unconscionable. Of course, the question arises as to where
you draw the line, and I would draw it back five years to 2006; any arrival
date after that should result in deportation in my opinion. Any arrival prior to that time should result
in some type of limited visa or right to stay here; if they want citizenship,
they should be required to go through the same steps as any other
immigrant. Finally, I do not believe
they should be entitled to the benefits of citizenship until they attain
it. So, in essence, I agree with Newt;
he’s right on this one.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Obama is bound and determined to have another
stimulus. He calls it a jobs bill, but
it’s just another stimulus. Am I crazy,
or didn’t the last stimulus fail miserably?
(Bertha ~ Sparks, NV)
A. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has concluded that
the president’s economic stimulus plan created fewer jobs than expected and
“crowds out” private investment. The
last ARA stimulus may have saved 600,000 to 1.8 million jobs, far less than the
3.5 million claimed by Obama. This is
simply another example of Obama’s fuzzy math.
Q. How do you feel about Egypt using lethal nerve gas against protesters? (Steve ~ Long Beach, CA)
A. The gas has been banned by international treaty. However, you have an unstable government
with access to the gas while being confronted with unruly citizens. That sets up the conditions for the use, as
horrible as we see it. Ask yourself this
question: If this country were to erupt in
demonstrations and protests on a massive scale, what tools do you think Obama would
use to stop it?
Q. Mike Huckabee has come out in support of Mitt Romney as
the Republican Presidential candidate, saying he is the only one who can beat
Obama. How do you feel? (Harvey ~ Texarkana, TX)
A. I’d rather have John McCain running than Mitt
Romney. I think at this point that a
Gingrich – Cain ticket would be insurmountable.
Even if Biden bowed out and Hillary bowed in to help Obama, I think this
ticket could win. I am rather ticked off
at a Republican hierarchy which has been backing Romney since day one to the
total exclusion of anyone else. God
could appear on the face of the earth and run on the Republican ticket and the
top dogs would still try and push Romney on us.
