A 2004 letter signed by Newt Gingrich affirmed and previewed his left-wing position on illegal immigration.
In the letter, Gingrich supports the idea that "keeping a door open to those with the 'will and heart to get here' is vital to our economy, our culture, our role in the world, and our historic tradition as a land of freedom and opportunity."
In signing the letter, Gingrich called on others to "recognize that those already working here outside the law are unlikely to leave."
