Gingrich separates himself from Romney on Immigration

January 13, 2012

From the Miami Herald:

Republican Newt Gingrich stopped in Miami on Thursday night to raise money, bash opponent Mitt Romney as a “Massachusetts moderate” and to position himself as the harshest critic of Cuba’s Castro regime.
Trailing in the presidential polls, Gingrich also swiped at Mitt Romney for “pandering to hardliners” over immigration and for touting potentially bogus job-creation figures.

. . . Unlike some of his fellow Republicans, Gingrich has adopted a more moderate position on immigration. He said the border needs to be secured and the visa process “modernized.”
But he believes some longtime, generally law-abiding immigrants who aren’t here legally and have families should be given a path to permanent residency, but not citizenship.
