Romney Promises To Seek Immigration Reform Law
First Read (MSNBC.com) ^ | 17 June 2012 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 06/17/2012 1:50:12 PM PDT by zeestephen

A top surrogate of Romney's, Arizona Sen. John McCain, went slightly further. Romney was "certainly willing to address that issue and immigration reform in a comprehensive way," McCain said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Comprehensive Immigration Reform"

Hmmm, where have I heard that term before?

"[Romney's] new immigration proposal tracks closely to a plan that had been developed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, which Romney had said he was studying."

EVERY bit of political momentum the GOP has gained in the last month has just crashed to Earth in flames.

Romney's election strategy...

(1) Support Rubio's "Dream Act."

(2) Demoralize Conservatives.

(3) Deliver 800,000 new Socialist voters to the Democrat Party.

Not much different than what it was when he ran for governor of Massachusetts.

Romney is a liberal socialist hack...PERIOD!

I think what they are saying is that they would have done the same thing Obama just did illegally.

Our country is a dead duck while we have crap like this running it.

Romney is weaseling around with the ‘comprehensive immigration law’ BS. However, until he offers something concrete, which he’ll have to do soon because Obama forced his hand - and Romney’s ‘plan’ may well be just amnesty with a happy face that he’ll call ‘conservative’ - I’ll hold my fire. He’s all we realistically have against an Obama second term and frankly, I’m far more worried about an unfettered Obama using his second term to finally destroy America than I am about Romney’s big-government proclivities.

Sarah Palin (july 13 2010): "Then let's keep it, then, then we won't complicate it any more. Let's keep it simple. And let's say no that if you are here illegally, if you don't follow the steps that at some point in immigration reform that we are going to be able to provide that will allow you somehow to be able to work - if you are not going to do that, then you will be deported. You will be gone."

The BIG question is: Would a Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney by-pass Congress and make their own version of the Dream Act law by executive order if it 's defeated again in Congress?

That's the question.

Let's wait to get the proposal before getting upset about it. This is coming from MSNBC who is going to do all it can to help 0bama.

I am still waiting for people to get upset at Michelle Bachmann for saying the same things back in September, yet every one wanted to give her a free pass.

“”What I would do, is I’d make sure that by coming into office, I would work with Congress to put in place a long-term solution for the children of those that have come here illegally,” Romney said Sunday on “Face the Nation.””

Yeah, I’d shag them too. A lot of good-looking young ones who are too good to pass up... Woo Hoo. /S

Romney and republicans should focus on how Obama made policy and not on the policy itself.

Obama’s hope is that this becomes an issue for so called “immigration”.

Looking at this issue through the lens of a conservative, this is an issue about our Contsitution and how bills become a law.

The Dream Act was defeated. We worked hard to defeat it. It should not be an issue.

We already have good common sense immigration laws. The nation is currently flooded with tens of millions of illegal aliens primarily from Mexico. They are here because the government has been criminally negligent on enforcing the matter for decades, even encouraging it. Any further discussion is merely to make legal what is now criminal. In my mind there is no room for negotiation. They must go home. Period. End of f’ing story.

And, MSNBC knew exactly which mealy-mouth GOP politician to approach in order to help in their support of Zero.

Romney is a total jackass. He not only is a congenital liar without any moral principles, a gay activist, a baby killer, and a socialist, but he seems determined to throw the election to Obama with these stupid choices.

If he is saying these kinds of things now, imagine what he would do if he was once in office and able to do whatever he liked.

Obama couldn’t have chosen a better opponent if he had turned over every rock in the GOP Establishment.

Listen up Romney. You need to assure Catholics and other Christians that your administration will work to protect their religious freedom and separation from despotic government. That will get you Hispanic votes. Assure the American public that your administration won’t rot freedom of speech with political correctness. Most of all find a way to convince Americans that they come first; they get the jobs first, and they get first dibs on education. Don’t get baited into the immigration reform trap by idiots like McCain.

Romney is already blurring the line between parties as feared. Which party is the pro-illegal-immigration party, again? The democrat party? Not after Romney is elected. We're all democrats now. Well ... not me. I'm not voting for Romney.

Amen! All this, "If you don't follow the steps that at some point in immigration reform that we are going to be able to provide blah blah blah...put in place a long-term solution for the children...blah blah blah..." It's all just wish-washy, weasely, politician double-talk to disguise the fact that they're going to grant amnesty! They think the American people are stupid.

Just enforce the d*** laws! Period.

Let's be clear. Obama did not choose Romney. Romney was chosen for him by the usual suspects in the MSM.

You can certainly count on Romney for flatulence whenever he tries to speak about a public issue.

He started this with 10 million down to Obama's 69 million, and with 17 million Evangelicals out of the race.

Now, add another 24 million unemployed, and he's going to be picking up votes like Herbert Hoover ~
