Mitt die not “invite” any illegal to MA.
Mitt sought for the local law enforcement deal about 18 months before he left office, but it was granted just 2-3 weeks before he left office (that delay was because of federal delay tactic - not because of Mitt).
Mitt vetoed important bills (e.g. bi-lingual education, specifically crafted for illegals early on in his tenure, and college funding for illegals). Had senators, such as Fred Thompson, not voted against employer’s ability to check immigration status, the situation would have been better, of course.
Apart from Hunter and Tancredo, Romney is the only one who has actually done something against illegal immigration when in office. McCain, Huckabee, Guliani and Thompson all made official decisions in favour of illegals when in office.
Wrong. Under Mitt-proponent-forILLEGALaliens-beforeHEwasNOT,
illegal aliens did not need licenses, insurance (car or
medical), and sanctuary citizen BLOOMED.
Many are surprised that Mitt did not appoint them judges.
Too bad, Romney was ONLY interested in his Presidential
campaign.
Yeah, well, let's take a closer look at the record, shall we? (Hat tip to ellery)
Tried to kill voluntary pilot programs for workplace verification in 1996Wrong. He voted against sections 111-113 in the bill, which called for the president to develop a permanent system that would call for the federal government to OK all employees (including American citizens) before they can work. This came up recently with HillaryCARE, where Hillary proposed that anyone who didn't have insurance would be denied permission to work -- that's the danger of a verification system that doesn't focus solely on immigrants. The program called for pilot programs merely as a prelude to the permanent system.
Your man Mitt would have us move toward the "federal government must approve all employees" system with his "health-care" boondoggle as well.
