It looks to me like Romney has a plan for legal immigration for law abiding, educated, job producing persons. And it's not a pathway to amnesty. Do you have a problem with that OP?
I feel it would be better if he made it easier for companies to hire native born citizens instead of making it easier for them to hire non-natives who will work cheaper.
YET our president has fought AZ tooth and nail to make all these illegals stay. You cant have it both ways
I don't want it both ways. I'm in favor of employing the maximum number of native born citizens. At the same time however, historically, there have been shortages of native born citizens who didn't want the hard labor jobs of picking grapefruit, service jobs, etc... There is a difference between allowing someone to stay here who is just here to make a buck and making it easier for companies to look beyond the borders actively for cheaper talent when we have natives who are out of work for these higher paying positions.
It is, to defend your point, the same principle and we should encourage native-hiring in all respects. It's just that historically, we've had trouble with the lower paying positions and no trouble with the higher paying ones so this is a curious initiative for the Governor to put on his website.
