What is Mr. Romney's position on Illegal Immigration?

[Care4all]

Thanks for Admitting you are completely Ignorant, and are going solely on what you "think" Mr Romney would do.

P.S.

Never mind about visiting his site, Found all sorts of stuff on the Economy, Defense, yada yada yada

but strangely I could not find a Damn thing about Immigration.

So good Question.


What we know from his past is he was pretty moderate on it, but is playing to the right now. He has shown support for things like the Dream Act in the Past.

My guess is once Elected he will return to a pretty Moderate Stance, Hopefully Combining Border Security with Real Immigration Reform.

But you never know. I know I am not buying this Further Right, More Conservative Romney. He is a Moderate, He will lead as one, and after all this time of Hyper Partisanship. That sounds ok to me.

With the congress being ruled by the right wing of the aisle, I'm not certain if they will have tons of influence on him?

When he was my governor of Massachusetts he was most certainly a moderate and not conservative, but congress was run by liberals....

will he just be the chameleon that he is known best for and "be for the moment" whatever congress wants him to be...a far right conservative?

You over estimate the Power of the Right in the GOP Congress sorry. The GOP in Congress will be under Enormous Pressure to Deliver if they are handed Victories. But I am no Expert.

I just think there would be a better chance if the Congress stayed basically the same as it is now, to get Immigration Reform done with a Moderate Republican As President, than With Obama, who wants it his way or the High way. His insistence that we do Reform and amnesty First then Talk about the Border Is why Nothing has happened under Him.

Not saying Anything will under A Romney Admin, but it's Clear Obama isn't going to Budge, and will be even less likely 2 in a Second Term. so if the Congress stays the same or is even More GOP controlled NOTHING is going to happen with an Obama 2nd Term.

And I do Mean Nothing.

See, President bush was a Moderate on immigration compared to his Congress and nothing got done because of it for 8 years.... it could be the same thing with Romney? and same thing for Obama, he too being met with discourse

Not hard to figure out.... just look for who the illegals support.

did that truly answer the question syrenn? And how do you know who illegals support? is there some poll on it that you could link to that I missed?

Its not hard to figure out Care. We have a huge illegal population in this state... and they are 100% behind obama. No links... just observations. The dram act demonstrations were a good indication of which way they "vote" or will vote.

That is about all i need to know about Romney and his positions on immigration. The illegals in this state don't want him.

I have read that the Hispanics are pissed at Obama for deporting so many illegals...even illegals without a felony over their heads...(Obama claims he is not deporting people who are not felons, but apparently that is not true)

Anyone know what Romney's position is (today) on illegal immigration, illegal immigrants.... what are his solutions?

(Turn on racist republican rhetoric machine)
Considering romney's family renounced their citizenship to the US, mittens starts to look like an anchor baby from mexico. Do we really want a guy who was raised by fruit picking spicks as president of the US? The guy barely has a grasp of english, considering the number of fuck ups he has had. Maybe he should take the time to take a public school course in speako da english so we don't have to write bills in mexican so he can understand them. A couple of loads later and mittens would have had some donkey DNA coursing through his veins.
(Turn off republican rhetoric machine)

Seriously, what are you fucking stupid? Mitt is on both sides of every issue. He has said he values the input of immigrants as those who helped form this country, and that they are a dangerous scourge who are ruining america. What is so confusing about that?

maybe you might want to talk to some of them immigrants and find out their actual opinions rather than trusting fox news. It is not like they are that far away, and you might find they are not horrible people.

Self-deportation. Basically the Arizona and Alabama approach. Harrass people of color who you think are here illegally as much as you can and make it to where they will leave on their own. A corporate officer from Mercedes (I think it was Mercedes) was "busted" in one of these sweeps. He wants the system they have there to expand nationwide.

Put another way, his "solutions" can be summed up in 2 words: "Papers...please."

I gave up tracking what Romney's positions are on anything at this point.

I honestly don't have a clue what Romney's "position" is on anything. However, this much I do know - all his "positions" will favor the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class.

Wow, there is an open mind....you guys are CLOWNS.....I find it funny you buy all this global warming crap, and then want to buy carbon credits to feel good and make Al Gore rich....yeah OBama's never made his rich friend money, except the stiumulus bill and pretty much every other law he's passed.

Keep on crusading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've seen jihadists that arent as zealous as liberals.....WHACKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romney has several positions on immigration. Read through them and I am sure you will find at least one to your liking.

Do people that believe in a "free market" Where goods and the making of goods have no borders, believe that workers should have no borders as well?

Ideally, yes. However, the trouble with the system is that social services can't be given to those who don't work.

Have no welfare=open borders.
Welfare=requirement to limit people.

Romney said he is for Attrition Through Enforcement.

The open borders crowd constantly tell the American people that there are only two solutions to our nation's illegal alien crisis – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them. This is a diversionary tactic to draw public attention away from the most effective and efficient solution – Attrition Through Enforcement.

The principle behind Attrition Through Enforcement is that living illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less satisfying over time when the government – at ALL LEVELS – enforces all of the laws already on the books. It is also imperative that the government with the full cooperation of the private sector, implements certain workplace enforcement measures. The goal is to make it extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to live and work in the United States. There is no need for taxpayers to watch the government spend billions of their dollars to round up and deport illegal aliens; they will buy their own bus or plane tickets back home if they can no longer earn a living here.

Attrition Through Enforcement will work because, until recently, it has been shown to work even with little or no enforcement. As it currently stands, almost 200,000 illegal aliens self-deport from the United States every year, but imagine how many more would leave if our government refused to award illegal aliens another amnesty, mandated all employers to verify a person’s eligibility to work here, cracked down on identity fraud, and enabled local police to easily transfer illegal aliens in their custody to the feds.

Interesting that many politicians seem to be unable to recognize that if we actually follow the laws that are in place, that illegal immigration will , for the most part, sort itself out. Especially if we address the problem of people crossing the border in order to give birth, so that they may have access to the social safety net of the United States.

Romney would undoubtedly take back that Executive order that allows all illegal immigrants amnesty work permits under 30. Enforcing the laws on the books is the most effective way of dealing with the issue of illegals and not suing states who are trying to do the best they can to enforce their borders without the protections of the federal government that we have seen during the Obama administration.

Essentially the same as obama's, and regardless of what he "says" during the election.

One thing I agree with the Governor on is the fence he wants to build. From his website:

"•Mitt Romney will complete a high-tech fence to enhance border security."

Oh please man, Have you ever heard of an Educated Guess?

I am not certain where you are coming from, since Obama has deported more illegal aliens per year than the previous president...I'm reading ALL kinds of stuff on how pissed they are at him on this issue....

shouldn't they be more pissed at calderone for giving them such shitty circumstances to live in?

 

[regent]

I think Americans will find Mr. Romney quite flexible on most issues. While some may find Romney's jumping from one principle to another disconserting, those jumps are only on some issues. I think Americans will find Romney quite firm on money issues concerning the wealthy.
