Where the Candidates Stand on Immigration
A heated discussion on immigration took place during Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate.
Has has said before:
Rick Santorum has said that the fence should be finished, but that mass deportations are not the answer. “Until we build that border, we should neither have storm troopers come in and throw people out of the country nor should we provide amnesty.â€Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at https://eepurl.com/cktGTn

You can't believe one word out of Romney's mouth. Even CNN brought this out last night.. Romney should really be running in the democratic primary, not the GOP. Romney has always been pro amnesty and pro choice until he ran for the GOP nomination in 2008; and then began saying what his audience wanted to hear. The man is a flip flopper on every issue.

Smooth Talking Mitt Romney's Real Record on Immigration
November 2005: Romney Supports McCain-Bush Immigration Bill, Saying
They Are "Quite Different" From Amnesty. According to the Boston Globe, in
November 2005 Romney spoke "approvingly of efforts by McCain and Bush to
solve the nation's immigration crisis, calling them 'reasonable
proposals.'" In the November 2005 interview, "Romney described immigration proposals by McCain and others as 'quite different' from amnesty, because they required illegal immigrants to register with the government, work for years, pay taxes, not take public benefits, and pay a fine before applying for citizenship. 'That's very different than amnesty, where you literally say, 'OK, everybody here gets to stay,'' Romney said in the interview. 'It's saying you could work your way into becoming a legal resident of the country by working here without taking benefits and then applying and then paying a fine.'" [Boston Globe, 3/16/07]
March 2006: Romney Supports A "Path to Citizenship," Opposes "Rounding Up" Undocumented Workers. "Gov. Mitt Romney expressed support yesterday for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal residents on the path toward citizenship... 'I don't believe in rounding up 11 million people and forcing them at gunpoint from our country,' Romney said. '[T]hose that are here paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process towards application for citizenship, as they would from their home country.'" [Lowell Sun, 3/30/06]
December 2006: Romney Caught Using Undocumented Workers At His Own
Home. "A lawn service used for several years by Gov. Mitt Romney, who is
considering a run for president, employed illegal immigrants to work on the
grounds of his suburban home, according to a published report. The Boston
Globe said it interviewed in Spanish four current and former employees of
Community Lawn Service with a Heart, and all but one who said they had
worked on Romney's property said they were in the country illegally. The
employees told the newspaper the company's owner, Ricardo Saenz, never
asked them to show documents on their immigration status, which is required
by federal law." [Boston Globe, 12/1/06]
May 2007: Romney Opposes Immigration Bill, Even Though It Includes
Everything He Supports. "The record shows Romney repeatedly has demanded
stronger border security. A campaign ad calls for tamper-proof
identification cards. And in a debate last week, he said illegal immigrants
need to go back to their home country and 'get in line' before they can
become citizens. 'That's exactly what's on the table. All of those things
are part of the immigration package,' said Marshall Fitz, spokesman for the
American Immigration Lawyers Association, a nonpartisan organization of
lawyers and professors. 'Romney and the other candidates who continue to
beat their chests against this legislation are just playing to the
conservative base.'" [Miami Herald, 5/25/07]
June 2007: Romney Now Calls Bill Amnesty. "Romney's response to the
bill has varied with his audience. Most of his criticism has focused on the
so-called Z-visa, a document proposed for registering the estimated 12
million illegal aliens in the country. Last month in South Carolina, home
to the type of social conservatives Romney is courting, he said, 'I think
we should not call it the 'Z' visa; we should call it the 'A' visa, because
it's amnesty and that's what it stands for.' Yet a week later in Florida,
he said, 'There are some who get involved in whether it is technically
amnesty or not and I'm not really trying to define what is technically
amnesty. I'll let the lawyers do that.'" [AP, 6/4/07]
August 2007: Romney Launches Ad Saying "Amnesty Will Not Work." Romney
began running an ad in Iowa this week in which he says he will secure the
borders and that "amnesty will not work." [Boston Herald, 8/15/07]

I guess it looks as though Ron Paul, Bachmann and Cain are the only candidates serious about securing our border and enforcing our laws?
I guess anyone can say one thing and turn around and flip flop. Obama sure has on many issues.
Is Ron Paul the answer? I still have not made up my mind.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
