I was shocked to see Newt Gingrich boast of his anti-enforcement agenda on immigration in the recent debates. More shocked to see that he is still passing himself off as a “conservative” and getting support and endorsements from other so-called conservative politicians.
My wife is an immigrant. Which means she came to the USA legally. The insult to real immigrants from Gingrich when he says that if someone can come illegally and avoid deportation for any number of years and be rewarded, will not be forgotten. Someone needs to tell me how he is different than Obama or Bush on illegal immigration. His “guest worker” amnesty plan is the same drivel that was thrown at us in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
I don’t see myself voting for someone for president that runs on the amnesty-again platform. Or someone who would probably say we need amnesty yet again in a few years.
If Gingrich is willing to admit now that he would be selective in enforcing immigration laws, no one should be surprised if his immense ego and ties to the open borders globalists would drive him to simply legalize all illegals with the stroke of a White House pen.
Newt Gingrich is not a conservative. He is the ultimate Washington insider who has repeatedly taken very liberal positions. The fact that he has supported an individual health care mandate like in ObamaCare should set off alarm bells all over the nation. What will he do next? He already sided with Nancy Pelosi on global warming.
I have heard the perfect definition of this man: Newt Gingrich is the GOP’s Bill Clinton.
Obama and Gingrich have essentially the same message on illegal immigrants while Romney, Bachmann and others have the courage to promise never to legalize them and to enforce the law. I want to hear loud and clear statements from all Georgia elected officials on their position on legalization and on Gingrich. That will be handy next November when I vote.
It is not inhumane to uphold the sacred rule of law. Granting a path to legal status for millions of immigrants will reward law-breaking and serve as another incentive for countless more to come here. Count me as a real conservative who says NO to Newt!

They also think Romney will have a much better chance of defeating Obama.
I guess Republicans really are the stupid party.
God help us.
Think State control of everything, friend. That's a liberal / leftist goal. That's what fascism is.
Oh well. Another liberal product of government schools that has been taught the government-revised version of history. How sad.
Funny how much the DC establishment hates "Newt the so called insider". I'd say with all the love DC has (not) for Newt, he's as good as an outsider, but better...because he does in fact know how DC works.
He has my vote. The country needs bold change, not the friggin' half-cocked way of the RINOs...and certainly not any more of the marxist apologist in chief.
Many of us have had it with the republicans allowing themselves to be controlled by the corporations and the other DC insiders. The media is salivating at the chance of helping Newt implode after the primaries.
We will cancel each other out. I will never vote for Gingrich again. Let the Dems kill what is left of the nation . At least there is a better chance of not repeating amnesty when Gingrich loses to the other progressive already in the white House.
No way in _______ will I vote for Newt. If the GOP picks Newt as the candidate against Obama, I will be forced to vote for Obama.
BTW -- I also am a Naturalized American who came to this country legally from Germany. I will never respect any politician who supports amnesty as a position.
The best choices are:
Ron Paul
Michelle Bachman
Mitt Romney
We have had an invasion from the third world, and it has been aided and abetted by our politicians who represent big business and special interest groups, not their constituents.
Newt Gingrich will be a dangerous choice and his sudden popularity is puzzling. His first appearance in Atlanta was sparsely attended. Too bad he has not lived his life as well as his words.
Gingrich will never beat Obama and is not a conservative. And illegal immigration is directly connected to JOBS, SECURITY, LAW and our future. Newt would get the Dem votes on amensty to please the corporate bosses, then we would watch as the illegals become legal and then vote in another Obama.
Great letter John, and great courage!
If you think we have problems now, wait until this place becomes Meximerica.
