After tonight’s CNN national security debate, Michele Bachmann’s campaign sent out an email hitting Newt Gingrich for “opening door” the door for illegal immigrant amnesty.

Gingrich got into a bit of hot water for saying he would allow illegal immigrants who have stayed in the country for decades to be granted citizenship, though not those who have come into the country recently. After the debate, Bachmann again hit Gingrich: “It sounds like amnesty to me.”
