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."

The whole reason Obama made this announcement when he did was to derail the economic narative by driving a wedge into the republican electorate. He is well aware that many conservatives view Romney with suspicion, and that the illegal alien issue is incendiary. No better way to get republicans fighting among themselves than for the media to toss the "illegals" ball into Romney's court.

And you all sucked down the bait like it was ice cream. Pathetic.

Not everyone. I counted her out quite early as just another RINO (and that was by looking at her earlier participation in Democrat political campaigns).

Sure, it's a simple definition (are you now or have you ever been a Democrat politician) but doggone does it work.

Romney even scored badly because while in office he made donations to Democrat politicians!

I had to add a codicil to cover people like Paul and that crowd who do the third-party stuff all the time. They are also RINOs.

Romney forgets things quite easily. As the Obots guessed correctly, he forgot all about enticing Rick Perry into telling us we were Heartless.

Guess 'bama will toss that bomb back at him now.

The ones we've educated for free have a lot to offer Mexico. They are needed ~ THERE!

BTW, it is simply not considered a punishment to live in your own country.

Yup. Same here. Can’t stand Mitt but the objective is to prevent Klownie the kenyan from getting a 2nd term and destroying us completely.

“Those people who’ve come here illegally and are in this country, the 12 million or so who are here illegally, should be able to sign up for permanent residency or citizenship”——Mitt Romney, 2007

Never expect a liberal and a liar to be anything but just that.

The question becomes who will obey the rule of law if congress and the people say “NO”.

Obama: Pfffftttt....like Caesar to Rome...F**K the Senate!!!

Romney: He can dance and prance as much as he wants but it’s all BS until a bill is introduced. And no, he’s not that dumb to use an executive order or bypass congress because the blow black would make the Walker recall look like a “tea party”.

Palin: Same as Romney. She can say things which can be smeared and stretched by friend & foe alike. Others in this post can keep beating “She wants amnesty” like a Johnny one note until perdition’s flame but, psssst....she’s not running for office!!! She’s entitled to her opinion and can (gasp) change her mind as well.

As to a President Palin bypassing congress and passing an amnesty bill by fiat, you haven’t been researching (or listening) to her for the past 20 years too well.

We don’t need to reform our immigration laws. We just need to enforce them.

Palin on the Dream Act

June 1, 2011

“The immigrants of the past, they had to literally and figuratively stand in line and follow rules to become U.S. citizens. I’d like to see that continue. And unfortunately, the DREAM Act kind of usurps that-the system that is a legal system to make sure that immigrants who want to be here legally, working hard, producing and supplying revenue and resources for their families, that they’re able to do that right and legally. Unfortunately, the DREAM Act doesn’t accomplish that,”

——Gov. Sarah Palin while at Ellis Island.

Re: “And you all sucked down the bait like it was ice cream. Pathetic.”

Disagree.

Romney sucked the bait down - and spit it directly into the faces of Conservatives, like me, who believed the Immigration Enforcement lies he told during the Primaries.

Today, he delegated Amnesty advocate McCain to speak for him on “Meet The Press.”

Last week, he promised to carefully study “Dream Act” Rubio’s immigration proposals, and he does nothing to discourage speculation that Rubio will be his Vice President.

And no one on the other side of this argument - like you, hinckley - ever explains what you plan to do when new Mexican-American citizens in Texas deliver 38 electoral votes to the Democrat presidential nominee in 2016.

Well we have to get rid of Obama. That is something that just has to happen so I’ll hold my fire on Mitt for now. I’m not feeling the good vibes on immigration from Mitt though. He is already waffling around. Hopefully its just to keep from alienating votes til he gets elected.
