The GOP, Romney, and Immigration
Can anyone believe what Mitt Romney and the GOP are saying about immigration now? Or maybe a better way to say it is, how can anyone believe what Romney and the GOP are saying now about immigration? For the entire GOP presidential campaign, Romney was the most anti-immigration candidate on the dais, and that's saying something. But he said he would repeal The Dream Act if he was President, spoke on the need of illegal aliens to self-deport, and moved farther right against immigrants from Mexico whenever someone tried to out-flank him. And the rank-and-file of the GOP applauded each move that he made. So now, how can anyone believe that now, if he was President, he'd look at enacting a law that would help young illegal aliens get a green card and become a citizen? And as far as the GOP members in Congress, it was them that stopped the Democratic version of the Dream Act, and Rubio version of the bill, one that is more restrictive that the Democratic version, couldn't even be voted on as it was blocked by far-right members of the GOP. So this is the group that now complains that the President didn't follow law, but wants to help illegal immigrants by enacting his Presidential Order into law? No, the GOP isn't that group, but the group that lies to people, puts down the President at every turn he makes, and will say anything to get a vote. Like I said, how can anyone believe what Romney and the GOP are saying now? Oh yeah, about immigration, too.
