Gingrich: Package Tracking Could Be Used to Locate Illegal Immigrants
The former House speaker was rallying support at Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, on Wednesday.
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich rallied support from a crowd of about a hundred at Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, Wednesday afternoon, following losses in the Alabama and Mississippi primaries on Tuesday.
Gingrich told the crowd FedEx and UPS track 24 million packages a day, with no additional cost to customers.
“Now over here you have the federal government, the world that doesn’t work,” Gingrich said. “And the federal government today cannot find 11 million illegal immigrants even if they’re sitting still.
“So one of my suggestions was, what if we were to mail a package to every person who’s here illegally, and then when it got delivered we would pull them up and we would know exactly where it was because it would be in UPS and FedEx.”
Earlier: Voters divided on whether Santorum represents Catholics.
Gingrich said that, on one level, he was just making a point.
“But let me make the point in a very real way as it affects the federal government,” Gingrich said.
He said by modernizing the anti-fraud systems for Medicaid and Medicare in a similar way to American Express credit cards, the federal government would save billions of dollars.
“The current estimate for the amount we would save if you had a modern anti-fraud system in Medicaid and Medicare is between $16 and $110 billion dollars,” Gingrich said. “In a 10-year period that would be $600 billion to a trillion dollars in savings.”
He went on to explain how modernizing government applies to Springfield as well.
"...how do you modernize the government of the state of Illinois so that it’s not the most expensive pension system in the country, and it’s not killing jobs in Illinois?" Gingrich said. "This problem is true across all of our systems; it’s not just Washington. We really have to have a dramatic modernization of what we’re doing if we’re going to compete in the world."
At the rally, there appeared to be as many media professionals as supporters, with around two hundred in attendance.
Though the southern states were tough losses for his campaign, in his speech Tuesday night, Gingrich reiterated that he would campaign for delegates all the way to the Republican national convention in August.
A memo from the Gingrich campaign claimed he still had a path to the nomination, but many analysts say that is unlikely, the New York Times reported.
Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum’s supporters are calling for Republicans to unite behind him in order to square off against former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, Bloomberg reported.
Gingrich was neck-and-neck with Romney in Alabama and Mississippi. In Alabama both candidates had 29 percent of the vote, behind Santorum with 35 percent. In Mississippi they tied at 31 percent behind Santorum’s 33 percent.
Still, Gingrich trails Romney and Santorum in delegates. Romney has 419, Santorum has 184 and Gingrich has 136. A total of 1,144 delegates are needed to secure the nomination.

I don't think Newt meant send them a package in the literal since. I think he was just referring to the assigning a track able system to immigrant people. We already are tracked by our assigned numbers ( social security card) So why shouldn't people here illegally have to submit to the same track able numbers? Why does everyone get so upset when we try to defend or boarders?

Just put that micro chip in their neck. It works for my dog. That is exactly what some people think about those "who aren't like us". If we all looked back in our history, we just might find many of us were illegals. In fact the only TRUE Americans are the American Indians. Let's hope they never get strong enough to take back their "God Given Land".

Seems like the Repubs are only for "big government " when it suits them. Passing laws to control women's reproductive choices, limiting workers rights to join unions, now proposing a "tracking system" for illegals -- which will eventually lead to tracking all of us. Of course, no Repub will ever mention regulating banks or keeping closer tabs on Wall Street.

No government money,pot-smoking, tree hugging happening here, but Grinch is still a moron to think that government wants to deport illegals who have no criminal record. You have to live in Texas to understand the two-faces of Republicans on the immigration issue. Rick Perry won't deport illegals because what they say out of one side of their mouth is whispered out the other. They do little to actually harm Americans jobs, rather everything they bring to us boosts the economy and to take immigrants out of that factor would mean economic collapse. Just look at the one state that implemented such practice to deport illegals, when they all left businesses suffered! Republicans do stand for commerce rather than people right?
LOLOL @ all Gingrich supporters.

Mr. Williams. I don't understand Newt's comment either. If the US Government had the addresses of each illegal immigrant, then any failure to pull them in would have been investigated by Congress, and commented on by opposition leaders. Isn't the problem best stated by saying we know there are illegals out there, but we do not know where they are living? Isn't that why employers were asked to check credentials of new hires?

To make us "what we were not meant to be?" I can't tell if your comment is sarcastic or not. America IS for giving the downtrodden a chance - go look up what it says on the Statute of Liberty - and the "American dream" is to be able to rise out of poverty through hard work and be successful. "Newt and the other Republicans" don't give a cr*p about regular people, only the big businesses that fill their coffers. More of this country needs to realize that. Further, I believe you meant freedom OF religion? And in that case, it's the "conservatives" that want to inject religion into medical decisions and "moral" decisions that have NOTHING to do with the government. Democrats don't do that.

In PA my 94 yr old mother (who is on medicare) who never drove a car so never had a drivers license with photo, has to show photo ID every medial place we go, i.e. medical center for x-rays, blood work, doctors office and hospitals...apparently there's lots of fraud with medicare. I don't know what people do -get someones medicare card and go to doctors? whatever, my point is I didn't think there was a widespread voter fraud issue but now I do bkz of the way those far left socialist are freaken over this issue....yep they like the illegals and they don't want voter ID bkz then dead people won't be able to vote...

Lyn Wyn - there's not, actually, much of a voter fraud issue at all; you can look up statistics. There was some issue with registering people who did not exist, in very small numbers (I'm not sure how or why), but not actually people attempting to vote for them.
The thing is that voting is a basic right, and therefore, taking it away from someone without an affirmative showing that they do NOT deserve to vote is a violation of a basic right. If ID cards are mandated, there needs to be sufficient resources and time allocated for people who cannot afford the IDs to get them. If an ID is, say $60 (I don't know the actual cost among states, but that sounds about right), a lot of people probably couldn't afford this, especially in this economy, and ESPECIALLY if only short notice was given, and they wouldn't be able to save for a while for it. Plenty of people are working 2+ jobs and barely paying the resnt and electricity and are unable to buy nutritious food, and a "surprise" $60 fee just isn't feasible for them. I'm not ok with them being barred to vote in even one election because of this. I'm fine with photo IDs being mandated if sufficient time and resources are allocated for people who cannot afford the IDs to receive a subsidy for them and to actually obtain them by the required date.
Jeanette Igoe

Newt and his ideas are beyond contempt. Why doesn't he suggest implanting a microchip in the forehead of every tourist entering the country.?
Of course his tracking problem is nonsense. FEDEX does need an address for every package, that goes without saying. How in the world would the government obtain addresses, especially for those who entered illegally.
There is one simple solution to the illegal immigration problem. Deny employment to all persons not legally entitled to it. To do this, improve and make the electronic verification program now in place applicable to all employers, from large corporations to households employing a maid. To do so, the verification system must be made much more user friendly. Then establish meaningful penalties against employers who violate the rules, escalating with each subsequent violation, up to and including felony convictions. Establish a secure, well regulated temporary worker program to fill legitimate needs.
No efforts to "control our borders" will work, as there always other ways to get into the country illegally.

There's a big problem with the Electronic Verification Program though. I'm a legal immigrant. I have my documentation. I came from the UK. I'm not taking a job. I'm a business owner. The problem is that some have managed to hack the system & get cloned copies of the government issued Employment Authorization Document (EAD) & can use it easily because the company doing the hiring doesn't check the actual fingerprint! When I went through the process I had a retinal scan, all ten digits printed & a photo taken so the Government has on file all the relevent information to prove I'm the correct holder of my EAD. Those who have cloned the EADs can be caught easily as all the company would have to do is finger print the person sitting in front of them & send it to US Customs & Immigration Services (USCIS) to have them match it to the record on file. Currently the companies do not have the equipment to verify for themselves that the person sitting in front of them is actually the person on the EAD they just enter the info on the card into the Government web site & voila it's a real EAD! If the person refuses the finger printing then they're probably an illegal alien & can be held on citizen's arrest until Law Enforcement arrives. Also stop using SSNs as a means of ID they were never designed for that. Verify the person through the foot print taken at birth, have it digitalized & kept on file. That way you can verify personally rather than use another flawed method.

Jay, hate to pop your illusion, but the foreigners attending most colleges and universities are here legally. Then, their is Kalifornia, soon to become an extension of Baja, Mexico where the Dream Act now gives the illegals money to attend school. Meanwhile, poor American students are on their own. As far as the illegals not going anywhere, don't be too sure. That is probably what they said before President Eisenhower rounded up and deported 11 million of them back to Mexico. If by some quirk of ill fate, Obama is re-elected, the economy is sure to get worse as he moves us to all out Socialism. When the country hits bottom and the dollar is worthless, all bets are off. The ilegals might then discover life would be better for them back in Mexico and return home on their own.

SomeOneWhoCares should learn that the words "illegal alien" are both correct English and the legal term established by law. I have often asked persons who object to the term, just what part of "illegal" are you unable to understand. Yes, illegal aliens are human beings and worthy of our compassion. But they have violated the law, and it is respect for the rule of law that makes a society function well. Thie very fact that "undocument persons" are illegal makes them targets of discrimination, employement that is underpaid and hazzardous to health and safety, and always exploited. lf we need a labor force to do the work that Americans can not or will not perform, then establish a legal temporary worker program. Beneficiaries would be less likely to be exploited and would be guaranteed humane treatment, a decent wage, and satisfactory working conditions. The desire for cheap strawberries does not justify inhumane treatment of workers, legal or otherwise.

You sound like a hardworking American, but I'm not sure exactly what you're railing against. You didn't claim that the people who can barely speak English in the college are here illegally, and if they came here legally, they all have to start somewhere in learning English; and if they were able to score well on entrance exams and in high school, why shouldn't they receive the education that they're paying for? Of course there are huge problems with illegal immigration, but nothing you're talking about seems to be related to that.

The problem is the way the laws are written they make it almost impossible for businesses to survive the laws let alone enforce them. The way I read it. As an employer I cannot verify an applicant immigration status until after I hire them. Then if I find out he has questionable documentation I can no fire that person based on his documents. I must give them time to straighten out the documentation. If they cannot do so they can fill out a form that allows them an undetermined amount of time to do so. I had an employee that gave me his Mexico drivers license, an immigrant worker card and a social security card. He worked for me for about 7 months. One Monday he came in looking like he'd been up all night and still in street clothes, left early that day. came in the next day and said he hurt himself on the job but he couldn't explain how and no one else saw it happen. long story, short. COMP INSURANCE CLAIM. Comp insurance contacts me and says that his I D does not match his Social security #. So I ask how can you pay him comp and disability payments if he has no valid identity. They told me the claim will be paid. I ask what stops him from collecting this claim and he goes out, buys a new I D, starts a new job and doing it all over again. The basic answer was " NOTHING" So he can collect a permanent disability check and just move on and become someone new. Sheesh .... I wonder why we are going broke lol We need to get a grip back on our country. We can't last like this

For those calling Newt an idiot, it was clearr to this reader that his remark about tracking the illegals was clearly a joke and merely pointing out how Fed EX and UPS efficiently does their job and the federal government screws up every thing it touches. That said, I don't hear anyone talking about the Immigrations issues except for Newt. While not #1 on the priority list, by the time the Republicans get to their Convention they need to develop a comprehensice Immigration Reform package for their Party Platform. People need to see exactly the specifics of what they will get for their vote. At the same time, the Republican Platform also needs detailed packages on how they will stimulate the economy, create jobs, shrink the size and cost of governmnet, eliminate Obamacare, develop a balanced budget and start reducing the national debt. People want specifics and not the general government doublespeak politicans always use without an action plan. Will the Republicans and their nominee for President be smart enough to do this? Time will tell, but I wouldn't bet the homstead on it.

Hey Robert Im pretty sure its already illegal to hire someone who has no SS#,the problem with e-verify is there is no entity to enforce it and we all know the feds will not let local police enforce federal law just look at Arizona.The government needs to make more strict punishment for getting into this country illegally,dont just send them back.And I believe should be allowed to detain them if caught sneaking in by any means possible ,including deadly force.
Robert Maule
8:23 pm on Thursday, March 15, 2012
Yes, of course, it is illegal to hire the illegals, but the e-verify system is difficult to use, and produces too many false positives and false negatives. It must be improved. Also, it is not now universally required. The penalities should be placed on the employers, and those penalties must be great enought that they can not just be written off as the "cost of doing business". They should escalate for repeat offenders until they do make a difference. Then a few well targeted prosescutions can actually make employers wake uip to the fact they cannot violate the law with impunity. In regard to punishment of the illegals themselves - I assume you know that our prisons and jails are already overcrowded. Where should we imprison all those illegals?

HERES HOW TO GET RID OF THEM. Give them 6 months to get out of America. After 6 months, any illegal alien caught in America will have 100% of their possessions confiscated (cars, homes, cash, personal items etc.) . then they willbe deported along with their children under 18 years of age--no exceptions. And they will not be allowed to apply for citizenship for a period of 15 years. Eliminate the anchor baby policy in the US. All documented will be bonded by their employers untill they are returned to their country and the employer will be resp[ionsible for the for medical etc.

Is this guy serious???
what some of you don't realize is that our economy depends on illegal workers; this is why the government has not taken any action when it comes to immigration laws.
These human beings are doing jobs that none of us will ever consider doing, they are keeping farms, factories, restaurants, construction, ect. running and for very little money. Now, imagine a day where there is no more immigrants. All of these companies will go bankruptcy & you will have no fresh vegetables on your table!!!
You all blame the immigrants for using welfare... but what about the million of americans who lie to the government to get welfare, to get section 8 housing and food stamps? Most of them (not all) have decent jobs and DO NOT NEED this help, but you see them riding their brand new ESCALADE around the hood.
I am not pro the people who take advantage of the government, whether you're an american or not.
An immigration reform is needed and these people should have some sort of status that will allow them to work legally and pay taxes. This is not going to hurt anyone!! because they will not take our jobs!!!!!! if you are afraid of that then you must step your game up and work harder for a better future! our country is full of opportunity, we just need to learn how to use them.
As a hard working American, the way i see it is that most of you are looking for what the country can do for you and not what can you do for your country.

So, when I met her and saw what was going on, I had her apply for her own greencard. She left the family and came to work for me 13 yrs. ago... She is now a U.S. Citizen... and very proud of it.... I'm just as proud of her... She's a single mother, but has never asked the gov't fo Aide... She does have medicaid for her daughter because she can't afford medical insurance.... Now, the father is a deadbeat dad!!!! and it goes on.... So, my point.... Not all Hispanics are dependent upon the gov't.... I too am and American Indian... 1/4%. My grandmother on my father's side was an American Indian... and no I don't belong to a tribe because I can't prove it... and If I could, they would fight me tooth and nail because they are afraid I want something other than my heritage.... and that's all I'm looking for....

They played by the rules, did everything they were supposed to do and many became citizens. The rest are here with green cards but have gotten them the right way. I have trouble understanding how people who have jumped through all the hoops and are here legally, can support those who have arrived illegally? The illegal aliens do nothing but create headaches and breed contempt for those here legally. Without question, the current Immigration Law needs to be shot and put out of it's misery. In it's place, we need an updated new Immigration process to speed up the process, refine the requirements and provide strict enforcement. Blanket amnasty is not part of the solution and merely encourages others to come here illegally.

They are the ones that keep the rich and wealthy homes clean. And third, ask any rich or wealthy people if they want their immigrant workers out. It will hurt their business.

It's not like the illegals walk in with a sign saying they're illegal so that they can be asked for the proof of citizenship we don't have.

Someone should tell "Newt" that the federal govt who issues visas to students and workers to come here could be tracked by issuing them a speciall social security number that could be tracked by the IRS and there would be no need for additional laws, or employees to run it. Doesn't take a rocket scientist or FedEx or UPS to do the job. Get some of the dead weight federal employees to do the job and earn their pay.

Very simple solution. Make it a million dollar per illigal fine with this first $200,000 going to whoever turns the company in. The Feds still get s $800,000 to pay off the National dept. Then do not stand on the border because you will get run over by millions of Mexicans self deporting.

1st I will admit that I did not read all of this article. BUT the idea of tracking illegals by sending them a pkg is worst than funny - it is ludicrous!
- If you can't find illegals HOW are you going to send them a pkg.
---
The only way to get rid of illegals is for all states to adopt E-Verify - where ALL companies Have to Verify that All employees are Citizens (or legally here to work)
-- AND the National Government with obummer is trying to stop many states from doing this.
--(If illegals can't find work, they will leave...)

I would like to see Newt come out and say that he will go after Obam's Records of school,Birth Certificate and Social Security Card to make sure he Presided as President legally and if not make sure he does not take or get paid another dime from taxpayers including to security paid by taxpayers. Then again I would like to see any Candidate say that is what they will do.

In my neck of the US (CT), not only does the illegals have the big cars/tv screens & the most cash flow, they have advocates that guide them on the know how to jump through whatever hoop is out there to qualify for all the "freebies". Yep my tax dollars @ work. Our grandparents, when they came into this country, didn't they jump through any & all hoops to survive & to stay, so why not the new ones that are here now. If they don't then they need to leave. Key word ILLEGAL.

After a long day of work (at a corporate environment) I stopped by the nearest restaurant to pick up some food. Honestly after working 10hrs I have no energy to cook.
Guess who's working hard in the back of the restaurant so I can have a nice hot meal?? Undocumented immigrants.
I spoke to one of them because this whole thing has been on my mind all day and I asked him how many hours does he work? He said: 14hrs/6 days a week. I asked him how much does he get paid and he replied: $8 per hr.
Now my point is, when anyone of you is ready to do this kind of job, for this kind of money; then you can say that these people don't belong here. I would certainly NOT work 14hrs a day for $8 an hr.
The government needs to work on a reform to have them here legally and paying taxes like the rest of us do, cause that's the bottom line. Everyone is complaining that our tax money is supporting undocumented immigrants, so then why not make a reform for the ones that have been here for years without committing any crime. They are here to work and do the jobs that we won't do.
Halli
10:11 am on Friday, March 16, 2012
I'm so confused, he told you he's illegal? Or are you just assuming this, when he could be a legal citizen? But I agree that the jobs taken by actual illegal aliens are not those that citizens are exactly lining up to take (far worse than just cooking meals for long hours). That's why I support the DREAM act's idea that hardworking young people who were brought here as children should be allowed to pursue higher education and citizenship if they'll be contributing to our society. While I don't think that funds should be offered to them, I haven't actually seen anything that says funds WOULD be offered, only critics of the act claiming that this would happen.

If it were not for that illegal cook working long 14 hrs days at 8.00 hr I might not be getting only 14 hrs a week at 8:40 hr and I am 50 years old.

Even though I am not going to vote for "Newt" I do understand that immigration is the single biggest problem facing our country. That's right, The biggest! They keep comng because somehow they are enabled by "Latino rights" organizations, government voting blocks, and big business who profit directly from immigration. If we continue to give them free everything, just because they have a bunch of children they will never stop having them, and they will never stop flooding our border, It's too easy to get most everything they need for free here. We enable them. Have more babies..? here is some more cash and food. To lazy to do your own yard work? Hire them to mow your lawn and blow dust all over with a leaf blower.. TAX FREE! The USA is a haven for them. Tons of tax free work, free lunches and health care, and a life far better than the ever could get south of the border. So why should they ever stop? They won't! It's too easy to get a free ride if you have 7 kids and don't give a shit about anything accept yourself and family. Keep em' coming!

If we got rid of the ilegals,who would work the labor jobs in the USA?
Surely you people that drive to the parking garages and go into those giant buildings everyday,then sit in front of a keyboard don't think that"s a job....do you?
Did you know that Like 23 million people in our alleged work force are employed by the United States Government agency,about 12 million are privately employed .More Americans work for the government than in manufacturing, farming, fishing, forestry, mining and utilities combined! Hmmmm,and we wonder if the government will ever take this country by surprise.Hmmmmm,magin that taken over from within without the first finger ever placed in firearm trigger!
Have you ever seen a cop work hard while they are so concerned about your saftey? Writin them $500 traffic tickets is stressful while most get a $50 incentive to do so. And don't hand me the crap about the risks involved,they were not drafted! Have you ever seen a city employee work hard? God help a union government worker.It would really suck to be a firman,and work 120 days a year,then collect a lump sum of a million dollars or more at 20 years end..
How about the elected official you voted for? Ever wonder what he does all day in that fancy office with tens of thousands of dollars of workers and the same in electrical gadgets to make his job stress free,or the free car he's ridin around in?

BTW,I am self employed.Net 6 figures annually.
My wife was employed privately and worked,but is disabled from diabetes,and is now collecting SS benifits from a fund she was forced to pay into and cannot collect 1 damned dime of interset from.
Between the 2 of us our employers and my lil business,we have right at 200 grand in that til that we cannot collect an interest dividend from.That's ileagal in my book!

I am Italian & Hispanic. And Latinos are NOT the only immigrants in this country, they may be the minority but not the only ones, so stop the racism against Hispanics.
If we had a immigration reform that allowed these workers to work legally and pay taxes we wouldn't have these issues. Is not like we don't need them, cause we DO!!
And like I mention before there is a vast number of Americans who don't pay taxes and take advantage of the government, the ones that don't work (out of pure laziness) live out of unemployment & collect foodstamps.

Gingrich it seems, is the only one of the bunch whom is actually trying to find solutions. I can't say that for the rest of the bunch. Romney with his millions is buying, slandering his way to the American Presidency. Santorum's stuck on contraception and religion and whether or not Puerto Ricans should speak english in Puerto Rico. Gingrich's $2.50 gas has been written up in the New York papers as very plausable. Seems that Gingrich's the only one with answers.

I haven't heard any actual plausible solutions from Gingrich (and this bad joke about sending them all a package certainly wasn't one), do you have any examples?
Further, even though filling up my car hurts too, what we need to do is end the subsidies to the oil companies, which make so much money, and actually factor in the environmental costs of using gas, like they do in Europe. Yes, this would make gas more expensive, but it'll also spur the industry to make much more fuel efficient cars.

Where are you getting your "database" of illegals and their addresses? Also--- Would this apply to packages sent to and from his "colonies" on the MOON???? He is typical of the Republican and "Tea Party" Mindset.... Government growth and action is OK if it is to "irradicate" the "Evildoers".. ( a George W. Bush term, )...

Yep I said burdening our country.. but you know what it's been that way since the Newt days in the Government and he did nothing about it then... also what about the march the illegals did when Bush was president...why didn't someone grab them when there were thousands of them bunched together disrupting traffic and american businesses...

Immigrants who do nothing wrong shouldn't be kicked out of a place they like living. I don't think Newt Gingrinch would want to be kicked out of his own house and start new in a whole different country if he was living somewhere he shouldnt be.

Instead of arming soldiers on the border, might I suggest stopping the flow of money out of this country? If you can't send money out of our country you will be forced to spen it in our economy.
