"Bachmann Renews Attack on Gingrich Over Immigration "

All I have to say about this article is that Michele Bachmann needs to read our textbook for this class so she could become a little bit more educated, aware, and empathetic towards the situations of immigrants in the United States. Actually... almost all of the Republic candidates need to pick up Daniels' book...

Good for Gingrich! Standing up and STICKING to what he believes in because he knows its right. Hopefully pressure from his party will not wither his stance on immigration.. I am very surprised and pleased with Gingrich's stance on immigration and looked further into the website to see what I could find from that specific debate. This is what I found from another article, related to the one posted.

In an interview with Gloria Borger of CNN within moments of the debate ending, Mr. Gingrich stood by his comments, saying that “serious people” would not want to break apart families in the interest of sending illegal immigrants home.

“I want to be tough,” Mr. Gingrich said, responding to Ms. Borger’s questions about immigration. “But I can’t imagine any serious person in this country that says we are going to tear families apart who have been here 20 or 30 years.”

Mr. Gingrich said that under his proposals, millions of people who had come to the United States illegally — but recently — would be sent home. But he added that the Republican candidates should “unify the country” by having an honest conversation about what should be done with everyone else.

But his rivals don’t seem to be in a mood for the kind of conversation that Mr. Gingrich wants.

In a news release issued even before the debate was over, Mrs. Bachmann’s campaign cited what she called “Newt Gingrich’s Open Door to Illegal Immigrant Amnesty.”

“Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich receives applause when he calls for declaring English the official language of American government,” she said in a statement. “But his immigration policy effectively equates to amnesty for foreigners residing in the United States unlawfully.”

It will take more than criticism from Mrs. Bachmann to create a real firestorm for Mr. Gingrich. But the immigration issue has a history of becoming too hot to handle for Republican candidates.

Good for Gingrich! Standing up and STICKING to what he believes in because he knows its right. Hopefully pressure from his party will not wither his stance on immigration..
