At this week’s debate (and actually before) Newt Gingrich said that mass deportation of all illegal immigrants currently in the United States would be neither feasible nor humane, especially when it involves breaking up families long resident in the US. But for anyone who thought this sounded uncharacteristically sensible, Gingrich has now followed up with the fine print, which will leave to community boards of local worthies to decide who gets the boot and who doesn’t.
The boards are to be modeled on the local draft boards of World War II.
