NEWT GINGRICH (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): When you talk to 95% of the legal immigrants who come to America, they are grateful to be here. They are thrilled to live under the rule of law. They think it's wonderful that they can work hard and have a prosperous future.



They think their children will be dramatically better off. And for some reason, what you are seeing emerge is this little tiny sliver of left-wing fanatics who have come to believe things that are factually false.



And I just want to say, I'm prepared to stand up and say unequivocally, these people are dishonest, I understand the sentiment the president was expressing, and I have some of the same feeling, frankly.



I mean, if she dislikes America this much, why is she here? And I think that's a fair question.
