Rick Santorum is calling out GOP front-runner Newt Gingrich’s latest stance on immigration, saying the former House Speaker has “false compassion.”
CNN reports:
“I understand Congressman Gingrich saying, ‘Well, you know, people have been here and they’ve been good citizens and paying taxes.’ Yeah, under somebody else’s Social Security number because you stole it,” Santorum said Tuesday to a group of supporters in Spencer, Iowa.
But, Santorum said, Gingrich misses the point: it doesn’t matter how long a person has lived in the U.S. if he or she is doing so illegally.
