Mitt Romney criticized President Barack Obama's immigration plan on Thursday, saying that as president, he will "put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the President's temporary measure."
That plan is still vague, but it does not involve a path to legalization for any of the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants except for people who enlist in the military, according to a release from the campaign.
"As President, I won't settle for a stop-gap measure," he said during his speech to to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Annual Conference in Orlando, Fla. "I will work with Republicans and Democrats to find a long-term solution. I will prioritize measures that strengthen legal immigration and make it easier. And I will address the problem of illegal immigration in a civil but resolute manner."
In the speech, Romney said that he would make it easier for legal immigrants to bring their spouses and children to America, as well as beef up temporary work visas for low-skilled workers. He also reiterated that he thinks foreign students who get advanced degrees in America should be given green cards. Romney's immigration plan also includes a "high tech fence" for the border and a national, mandatory employment verification system that ensures employers do not hire illegal immigrants.

No I don’t like Obama passing the Dream act Amnesty for illegals against the will of Congress, against the will of the American people. I guess that doesn’t bother you all that obama gave Amnesty to illegals and did an unlawful act,turned the U.S. into a dictatorship does it? To you its all about scoring political points against Republicans (hey it’s not working on me).
The AMNESTY for illegal aliens plan of Willard Romney
it does not involve a path to legalization for any of the country’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants except for PEOPLE WHO ENLIST IN THE MILITARY, according to a release from the campaign.

Way to go Willie...
It seems the GOP-e want to replace one of the smartest men in the world with another smartest man in the world...
LOL
I’m sorry, I’m just going to have to laugh at you for being exactly the type of sycophant I spoke of.
I don’t care what you think or say.
They would need to sign a contract with the Feds to never seek citizenship.

Just ad-libbing here but the law could include an auto-matic repeal clause that repeals the entire law if a court throws out the non-citizenship clause.
In real life anything that gets passed will be a piece of crap and Romney is completely untrustworthy as w Boehner and McConnell.
He also reiterated that he thinks foreign students who get advanced degrees in America should be given green cards.

green cards=American citizenship...
the worlds smartest man...
They don't get that this was the whole purpose of obama's doing what he did. To start a war within the Republican party over immigration. Romney is smart not to play into their hands. It's what they want. It was by design. Let it go through the legislative process. If it passes, it passes. If it doesn't, it doesn't. No need to lose the election over it.
And it will remain vague until he's elected (if he's elected). Then it'll be put on the back burner and ignored by Mittens Obama-lite.
Romney’s immigration plan also includes a “high tech fence” for the border and a national, mandatory employment verification system that ensures employers do not hire illegal immigrants.

Duncan Hunter’s fence...
Willard had a photo taken in 2008 fpr his campaign with him standing in front of it as though he built it himself...
he gave no credit to Congressman Hunter...
E-Verify is already in place too...
Willard is a day late and a dollar short as usual...
He has no new ideas of his own...
During the AMNESTY Bill I, II, III etc fiascos Willartd was for it...
He said “We cant send t6hem all back”
“We must find a path to citizenship”
he was also KNOWINGLY breaking the law and hitring illegal aliens to do the grounds at the MASS Gov mansion...
We already knew that the liberal illegal alien lovin Willie would push AMNESTY if he got to be POTUS in 2008
nothing has changed...
Obama has just made it easier for him...
What happened to self-deportation?

The GOP primary debates are over...
Willie Mitty doesnt have to lie any more and try to con the Conservatives about what he would do about his illegal alien buddies...
” Read closely because it says implicitly that he will keep Obamas order in place until congress gets a immigration bill to his desk, which given history could take a long while. Yet he doesnt want to explicitly admit he will keep Obama’s order n place. He was asked 6 times on CBS about this on Sunday and refused to answer.”
I noticed.
Maybe he has been soul-searching and has seen the error of his ways. Here ya go:
;)
Later-on he can define ‘here illegally’ and ‘amnesty’ for us much like Bush, McCain and Graham-amnesty did in 2007. Path to Citizenship is NOT amnesty because there is a $500 fine, which will get refunded with a special immigrant tax credit.
If he gets no bill he just leaves Obama’s order in place.
” The important thing in a Romney speech is to make conservatives think he is against amnesty, and at the same time make Hispanics think that he is for it. That takes careful wordplay.”
” If he gets no bill he just leaves Obamas order in place. “
I’m afraid that is the way I read him too.
Just great! Another statist thinking the federal government has the answer for everything.
Only the stench in the WH will be diminished when if the halfbreed is removed.
In the long term it will be as big a fiasco as that "vaunted" class of 94 who ended up being pure unadulterated RINO progressives who provided needed continuity by serving as GOP "skid greasers" for the Nation's first communist president.
