Does anyone have actual proof of this? Link to an article perhaps? I tried to google it and found nothing.

Who said anything about magic?? And there you go again with the denigrating comments. If Mitt believes so strongly about deporting illegals as they are caught he should SAY SO. The fact that he doesn't speaks louder than all the ranting you can do.

Are we going to have jack booted law enforcement storm troopers driving busses & Humvees into neighborhoods?

Is that a realistic question or are you just raving again?? NOBODY has suggested anything of the sort.
[quote:257aar4r]I am not opposed to legal immigration, I see nothing wrong with it, BUT I think that the current LEGAL immigration limits are RIDICULOUSLY too high,

Mitt Romney wants to RAISE the limits on legal immigration...

Romney is the ONLY one to empower & require his state police to enforce federal immigration law. That is FACT.

Yep, he signed that about 2 weeks before he left office. REAL effective, that was... [/quote:257aar4r]

"Mitt Romney wants to RAISE the limits on legal immigration... "

So does Ron Paul.

Last week, someone posted quotes/info on Paul where he said that he wanted to increase the number of HB-1 Visas.

I looked for the link also but this happened on his last speaking
tour and I believe it was from a speech in San Diego , and I know
a bunch of minutemen in the audience got up and walked out
on him

No I am looking for that too. All I see is he wants them gone also but I can't find an article that exactly quotes Dobbs saying that.

By now, with the ones who are here plus the ones who were here previously, they should have plenty of ideas for improving their countries. And that is not to say that all American ideas are superior. Would fast food drive-in's really make sense, except perhaps in the cities? I can also tell you from a standpoint of someone who works in construction, that Meditteranean-type cultures have a number of building construction ideas that are better than ours.

I think where they need the most improvement is in their agricultural methods and their urban planning. Those people should be able to carry back ideas with them, if indeed we have some that are suitable for them.
