"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he is “sickened” that President
Bush and Congress went on vacation “while young Americans in our cities are
massacred” by illegal immigrants. […] Gingrich said that the “war here at home”
against illegal immigrants is “even more deadly than the war in Iraq and
Afghanistan.” “The federal government’s incompetence, timidity and uncoordinated
efforts to identify and deport criminal illegal aliens have had devastating
consequences for innocent Americans,” Gingrich said, in a newsletter"
I think we can stop talking about Gingrich running for office, I think in this climate just talking about immigration is the fastest way to kill your chances of getting elected. One because the issue is so clear cut and there seems to be so little ground on the issue. That means that what ever statement you are making is offending either one side or the other - and often both. This statement is an example of one that is going to upset a lot of people.
