Newt Gingrich is demanding that the Bush administration get serious about stopping illegal immigration.

The former House speaker wants the United States to completely seal off its border along Mexico and Canada, deport illegal aliens within 72 hours of their arrest and exclude U.S. courts from reviewing such deportations.

"Let's be serious about sealing off our borders or [else] have open borders," Mr. Gingrich told more than 1,000 cheering conservatives on Saturday.

"It's a complete misreading of the 14th Amendment" to the Constitution to think that illegal aliens are entitled to the same rights as U.S. citizens, he said on the closing day of the 32nd annual Conservative Political Action Conference.

He hit all the right notes for activists at a conference where immigration proved to be the hottest issue â€â€

"We have to have a relatively open green-card policy to relieve pressure" from Mexico and elsewhere, as well as from U.S. firms seeking workers, Mr. Gingrich said.

This is a fraud and a joke upon the American people. Getting people excited with all that tough talk is in the end just to slip in the idea of a "relatively open" green card policy.

Even the seemingly innocuous part about "pressure" from "US firms seeking workers" is a subtle propaganda tool- using "seeking workers" instead of "seeking cheap workers" or better yet "seeking to flood the labor market". How he framed it gives away what side he is on.

Not that the pressure would be relieved anyway, because the flood across our border is infinite, not limited, and giving out more green cards will just add to the mix exponentially more immediate relative and family-sponsored immigration. But oh yeh, better for the companies "seeking workers" right?

When they pull a former politician like this out of the woodwork to make this kind of statement, its not usually a random event. Giving out more green cards is obviously on their agenda. As is using the media to spin such a ludicrous plan as "serious about stopping illegal immigration".

William, I might would have posted it today, but I do believe Daylights must have put it on here while I was posting the other two! Great article, and it will almost certainly (barring something truly shocking happening) go up on Thursday.

Gingrich has such a smiley face, and talks pretty. But I'm really skeptical about his comments on open-green cards. Sometimes its so hard to trust our leaders. I wonder why? :?

Maybe because a lot of them have big business, special interests, and their parties telling them what they want. How many times have you seen or heard of a politician who will go against the grain? Not too many! Most of the ones who want to make changes will quit since they realize how unattainable it is to make changes and still spout the party line. I blame both parties for their inaction.

I've written so many letters, faxes, and made phone calls and all I get in return are form letters which send forth the same "You are very important" "We will look into this matter further" and "Thank you for writing", but nothing ever changes. Time to hold these guys/gals feet to the fire. :x

Writing letters, making phone calls and sending faxes is part of the old paradigm. If it worked, we wouldnt be in the situation we are in.

SaveOurState - hey there J. You know me from the FR. Did you ever get back into the FR after they banned you? I tried to post things about illegal immigration, but you know their attitudes. They keep running different polls about immigration (trying to get the results JimRob wants).

I follow your site too.

Good luck. :)

Absolutely. We must educate the American people...only then will the skunks in the oligarchy take action. Either one of two things must happen. One, the politicos realize they will lose more money, hence no re-election and take action. Or fear...meaning if the problem is not solved civil unrest is a probability.
