Mitt Romney: Supports Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants (Sep 6, 2011)

MITT ROMNEY: "But my view is that those 12 million who have come here illegally should be given the opportunity to sign up to stay here..."

So much for another lie by Romney that he is the toughest on Illegals

[SoConPubbie]

And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Illegal immigration will be the final nail in America’s coffin!

I hold no brief for Mitt Romney but you completely misrepresent what he said in this interview from 2005.

Watch the interview with Tim Russett. Romney does not say that he supports giving amnesty to 12 million illegals. He says that the idea of allowing some people to register with the government, live, work and pay taxes in the U.S. for 5 years before being allowed to become citizens is a reasonable one.

That is a far cry from what you are suggesting.

My argument with such a plan would be that America's first priority must be to secure the borders, then identify and deport illegals guilty of felonies here or in their own countries, and only then consider who might be allowed to stay on condition of working toward citizenship rights.

I would very much like to hear Romney's response to that suggestion and then make a judgment on whether his current views on immigration are acceptable, especially given how much worse - and dangerous - the problem has become over the course of the past 7 years.

So does Obama! At least with Romney we have a chance of moving to the right if we wants a 2nd term.

[presently no screen name]

He spends millions on attacking - Patriot ‘We The People’, Pro Constitution candidates - should be a clue he disagrees with what they stand for.

Pity Americans who rejoiced and took part in that action - they are left with a hater of all that is good.

[cripplecreek]

Romney won’t get a first term.

[Irish Eyes]

You are misrepresenting what Romney said and when he said it.

Sept 6, 2011 is when the video was uploaded to Youtube

2005 in an interview with the Boston Globe . He talked about illegal immigration. He did not support illegal immigration then or now.

“I think the old standby definitions of who votes for which party have been blown away in this campaign. I think people recognize that I’m not a partisan Republican—that I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”
-Mitt Romney (2002)

Video of the quote:

Obama continued: “I am somebody who is no doubt progressive. I believe in a tax code that we need to make more fair. I believe in universal health care. I believe in making college affordable. I believe in paying our teachers more money. I believe in early childhood education. I believe in a whole lot of things that make me progressive.”
-Barack Obama

“He says that the idea of allowing some people to register with the government, live, work and pay taxes in the U.S. for 5 years before being allowed to become citizens is a reasonable one.”

It isn’t reasonable. It’s the opposite of reasonable. It’s insane.

I would love to hear how “registration,” or for you poetic types, “bringing them out of shadows,” solves anything.

The problem isn’t their status. The problem has never been their status.

The problem is their PRESENCE.

Their PRESENCE is what has overwhelmed California’s welfare system and bankrupted the state.

Their PRESENCE has turned California’s public school system into a daycare center for Mexico’s poorest, non-English-speaking children, to the terrible detriment of two generations of Americans.

Their PRESENCE — their overwhelming numbers have closed swamped emergency rooms all over the country. (And can we please stop lying about the actual numbers? There’s pretty good evidence that 11 million illegals live in California alone.)

Their PRESENCE has driven down wages and driven Americans out of innumerable trades and occupations.

So someone please explain to me — how does “registration” and allowing lawbreakers slow-motion citizenship make anything better? Except for illegal immigrants and weak politicians who won’t do do their first and most important Constitutional duty to protect this nation from foreign invasion?.

The Southern border has been abrogated and abandoned by the Federal government. How can anyone talk about anything else?

Romney is the lesser of two evils don’t you know.(sarc)

Romney is a liberal turd burgler.

[USS Alaska]

and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

That sword cuts both ways. You never tire of futile posts.

[LibLieSlayer]

We should just call him the “Me too” candidate. Let obama come out for something and mitt rushes to agree.
