It’s no secret that I’m slightly right of Atilla the Hun in my conservative beliefs. Read my “About the Author” page to learn more. I’ve been extremely adamant in my ire against any form of Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. And I have not softened my position one bit. That being said I’m also a realist.

I know that it doesn’t matter what one says on stage if they won’t follow through with what they say. To that end I give Newt kudos for the way he handled the Illegal Immigration question last night.

It seems the interwebs are all aflutter about how Newt is pushing for amnesty, a false accusation. Newt simply stated that it would be a disaster for the party of the family to be breaking up families. That’s a fact. Think back to the kid sent back to Cuba and remember that reaction. Then multiply it by a million or so. The protests of OWS would look like a boy scout meeting in San Francisco comparatively speaking…

Newt stated that we should be HUMANE in our handling of the illegals. He also added parameters that I agree with. SECURE THE BORDER FIRST, Deport EVERYONE who has broken our laws (Since the first criminal invasion) We’re down to probably 1/3 of all illegals. Then grant citizenship to those who serve in the military, have done things to benefit our nation. Now we’ve cut down the total illegal population by around a half… 12 million to 6 million or so… Easier number to deal with and we can effectively deal with that HUMANELY. Okay I’m good with it. I can understand that, although I don’t like it. I’ll “Compromise” to get SOMETHING done, rather than another 4 years of NOTHING!

Now Romney’s camp is calling Newt “Soft” on Illegal Immigration: Really Mitt?

Flip flop you much? Resist Mitt we much… (Al Sharpton speak)

So let me see, Newt on stage was HONEST about his view. Kudos. We know what we’re getting. Mitt, FLIPPED again to pander to folks like me… FAIL.

I’ll take Newt. GFY Mitt.
