Washington: Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, recently shared his thoughts on Trump’s immigration plans. He called a part of the Republican party “rabid” about immigration and doubts Trump’s deportation promises will actually happen.

Gingrich expressed surprise if there’s any real effort to change the status for those here legally. He believes only a small group in the party is really passionate about mass deportations.

He also pointed out that public support for such actions would drop quickly if stories about families being torn apart started surfacing. It’s a sensitive issue, and people tend to react strongly when they hear about kids or mothers being deported.

Trump, who won the last election on a platform of mass deportations, has surrounded himself with hardliners. He’s even suggested that families should be sent back together, which complicates the situation further.

Another big concern is the fate of Dreamers—those undocumented individuals brought to the U.S. as children. Trump has hinted at removing birthright citizenship, which is a big deal protected by the Constitution.

Despite the chaos predicted, Gingrich is in favor of finding a way to help Dreamers gain legal status. He thinks this might align with Trump’s potential willingness to negotiate on the issue.

He made a strong case, saying it’s ridiculous to deport someone who’s lived here their whole life, speaks English, and has contributed to society. He believes the Trump administration needs to consider the nuances of these situations.

At 81, Gingrich has a long history in politics, having served in Congress for two decades. He’s still close to Trump and has been involved in various political discussions, including the aftermath of the 2020 election.

He recently spoke to promote a PBS documentary about immigrants and their contributions to America. Gingrich emphasized that the U.S. is a nation of laws and that it’s easier to deport those without legal standing.

He’s even proposed a seven-step immigration plan for Trump to think about. Gingrich concluded with a reminder that public sentiment is crucial; if people hear too many heartbreaking stories about deportations, support for such policies will vanish.
