Default Gingrich's Plan For Illegal Immigration

I happened to turn on Gingrich's address today to some Latin group in Miami. The part I listened to completely were his thoughts on illegal immigration. I'll have to say, I agree with him 100%.

I guess some of those farther to the right than me have accused Gingrich of supporting amnesty for illegals who are already here. That's not what I heard at all. What he seems to embrace is a reasonable approach to dealing with 11-12 million people, many of whom have been here working and being part of their communities for decades.

Gingrich also supports a "guest worker program". Now I know there will be some who will violently object to legally permitting foreign workers into the country to do work that could be done by unemployed Americans. But, it's work that needs to be done and Americans apparently choose not to work that hard, or work for the wages that foreign workers agree to, so such a program makes sense to me. Maybe if we eliminated the generous unemployment benefits and welfare, Americans might get hungry enough to actually work.

What say all of you here in the Political forum?
