Hardly a “deep, in-depth look.”
sorry you feel that way, but can you make a suggestion instead of ridiculuos statement?
Don’t hold your breath.
McCain-Kennedy isn’t the answer,” Romney said in a well-received speech to conservatives in Washington this month, describing it as an amnesty plan that would reward people for breaking the law and cost taxpayers millions to provide them benefits.
But that is markedly different from how Romney once characterized McCain’s bill, elements of which are receiving new attention in Congress and from President Bush. Indeed, Romney’s past comments on illegal immigration suggest his views have hardened as he has ramped up his campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.
In a November 2005 interview with the Globe, Romney described immigration proposals by McCain and others as “quite different” from amnesty, because they required illegal immigrants to register with the government, work for years, pay taxes, not take public benefits, and pay a fine before applying for citizenship.
“That’s very different than amnesty, where you literally say, ‘OK, everybody here gets to stay,’ “ Romney said in the interview. “It’s saying you could work your way into becoming a legal resident of the country by working here without taking benefits and then applying and then paying a fine.”
Romney did not specifically endorse McCain’s bill, saying he had not yet formulated a full position on immigration. But he did speak approvingly of efforts by McCain and Bush to solve the nation’s immigration crisis, calling them “reasonable proposals.”
Romney also said in the interview that it was not “practical or economic for the country” to deport the estimated 12 million immigrants living in the US illegally.
I won’t coop, i would of passed out due to the lack of air a long time ago if i did that......lol
What are you talking about?
Well good for you eternal, thanks for responding, but as you can see on the column, I prefer to live in the present or as close as I can and really don’t take much into account what people say in NOVEMBER of 2005, almost all my references are within the last 30 days. Thanks for the try though.
Sheesh. If you’re going to go on just what they say this month, you’re really setting yourself, and your readers, up to be conned by folks like Mitt Romney.
But, kudoes for trying to educate people anyway.
Good paragraph on the FairTax.
Romney’s ignorance on that issue is just one in a long line of examples of how he still is far from having an understanding of the conservative movement and conservative issues.
thank you eternal, but i will say about mitt romney, that’s one book smart guy, and his campaign website was the best out of all the candidates, i’m not supporting him, and must confess, he’s flip flopped a lot of issues, i was trying to focus in on current issues and what their all saying, thanks for the kudo’s though, i appreciate it.
