They look like this.
This jowly photo comes from Getty via Daily Intel and it just adds another reason for working hard on keeping the Grinch out of the White House. Just having to look at this face for four years is depressing enough, but it gets worse...
Gingrich has fine-tuned his immigration proposals to be more in accord with the unkind (and unrealistic) efforts of his party. He spoke about immigration in South Carolina yesterday:
First off, Gingrich said he actually doesn't want to give the millions of long-term undocumented immigrants real amnesty. They can continue to work, buttress the American economy, and receive limited taxpayer benefits — but only as guest workers. There would be no path to citizenship. But there would be a massive fence, which will be erected along the border to Mexico by January 1, 2014, built at rapid speed by ignoring environmental impact studies or existing regulation.
The touchy-feely Gingrich seemed a distant memory as the candidate proposed making English the national language and instituting a fast track to deportation. Then there was this quote: "We [should] establish an understanding of American history as it relates to citizenship and we apply to it the children living here,” Gingrich said. A spokesman insisted that line was not a reference to repealing the 14th Amendment but rather part of Newt's famously well-compensated passion for American history. Finally, he proposed cracking down on towns and districts that do not rigorously enforce existing deportation laws, and endorsed South Carolina's controversial law that would let police interrogate all suspects on their citizenship status. The town-hall audience ate it all up. ...Daily Intel
I bet they did. Nice people. Ask them whether they'd like access to cheap labor and they'll say "of course." But just don't ask them to treat those laborers like real people or to give up a South Carolinian's right to heave 'em back over the wall when they're no longer useful.

Torture is okay, too. Evidently Newt has forgotten it's illegal.
On other topics, Gingrich drew applause at the event - hosted by Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C. -- when he declared that the controversial terrorist interrogation tactic known as waterboarding "is by every technical rule not torture."
"Waterboarding is actually something we've done with our own pilots in order to get them used to the idea of what interrogation will be like," he said. "I'm not saying it's not bad and it's not difficult and it's not frightening, but I'm just saying under the normal rules internationally it's not torture. I think the right balance is to say a prisoner can only be waterboarded at the direction of the president in a circumstance when the information was of such great importance that we thought it was worth the risk of doing it - and I do that frankly only out of concern for world opinion. We are not going to be intimidated against defending America by the ACLU." ...CBS News
No civil liberties crap and no laws are getting between Boy Gingrich and his self-fulfillment.
