    Gingrich says DREAM Act with military aspect OK

    TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he would allow illegal immigrants to earn U.S. citizenship if they serve America in uniform.

    Gingrich said during Monday's GOP debate that if president he would veto a version of the proposed DREAM Act that would allow a path to citizenship for children who come to the United States with their undocumented parents if they complete college.

    Gingrich says college graduation alone is not enough.

    Gingrich says citizens of other countries already have the opportunity to earn U.S. citizenship by wearing a uniform. He says that children of undocumented immigrants too should have that option.

    Rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum say they would veto any version of the DREAM Act that gives citizenship for college graduates.

      Romney and Santorum are correct in regards to the Dream Act.
      Gingrich is wrong and he knows it but will do or say anything that he thinks will get him elected as our President.

      What part of "illegal" doesn't Newt understand?!? If they're here illegally, they should be shipped back.

      Last I read the military more than met their recruiting numbers without illegals.

      this is politics, his is how u buy votes from a certain ethnic group, gingrich is playing for the hispanic vote, just like king obama but not as radical

        And I can tell you the GOP doesn't have much of the Hispanic vote. Historically they have not been a party that has been supportive of Hispanics with the exception of their anti-Castro agenda. Hispanics in the majority won't support these bigots.

      Our country is being taken over by illegals and legal Hispanics who support amnesty for illegals.

        Illegal alien supporters should be deported along with the illegals. They are treasonous, seditious, hostile and subversive.

      Bring back the draft.

      Half a millennium ago Machiavelli observed that mercenaries make third-rate soldiers. Last year Libya gave us a contemporary demonstration of the same principle. So now we want to dangle citizenship in front of foreigners to entice them into our military? How about a few Afghans in charge of the nukes? Only Gingrich could be OK with that -- he's pretty much a mercenary himself.

      NO AMNESTY!!!!!!!!!!!! They are law breakers, send them home!! NO AMNESTY!! I thought you were going to do better NEWTIE, does not look like it now!!!
    • Juvi  •  4 mths ago
      No!!!! bring back the draft and start drafting libturds and make them serve. There's a grossly disproportionate amount of Liberals compared to Conservatives in the Armed forces. We are selling out our country to mercenaries basically.. These are desperate people and they will do anything for a job. It does not mean they will be loyal to the U.S. Come on libturds grow a backbone.

      No, it's NOT ok. ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL. Deport ALL Hispanics, shoot-to-kill at the border and take our country back. We have enough people for the military and do NOT need criminal aliens. They do NOT have our best interest in mind/heart just like Muslimes.

        Illeglas have no intention of assimilating and being America. Bad enough we have gays, feminists and liberals in the armed forces. If illegals are allowed then we are doomed. Bad move Newt.

      Gingrich is very weak on illegal immigration. Enforcing the laws is the ONLY way that a democratic society can operate.

      Newts Nightmare Act- Illegals can either put their life on the line and join the military or pick crops for slave wages.

      We need to close our borders and enforce current immigration laws before we start talking amnesty.

      When and If, we look at a way to allow criminals - that is what illegal aliens are - to become citizens - they must work for it. They must learn to speak/read/write in English, they must serve two years in the military or another government service like the Peace or Americorp, no one with ANY criminal record would be eligible.

      Each family member must earn their own citizenship - no more blanket offers of citizenship for the whole family.
