Newt and Immigration, Part II

Well, I feel like I have to take back most of my praise for Newt Gingrich and his statements last week supporting what appeared to be some form of amnesty for 11 million undocumented workers in the U.S.  At last Tuesday's debate, he seemed to offer humane and reasoned comments on the impracticality of deporting millions of people form the United States who have strong family ties.  He appears to be backtracking from those comments and now suggests local citizen panels to review each person's request to remain in the U.S.  It smacks of some sort of Stalinist loyalty review board.  You can read about it here:  Article from Atlanta Constitution
