Romney on Immigration Reform: GOP Senate Will 'Get It Done'
Romney on Immigration Reform: GOP Senate Will 'Get It Done'
'You're going to see a provision first of all to secure the border'
Truth Revolt
11.3.2014
Former GOP nominee for president Mitt Romney appeared on Fox News Sunday this week to make the final case for Republicans in Tuesday's mid-term election. Not only did Romey predict a Republican majority in the Senate, he also said that with the House the newly-constituted Senate would help usher in an Immigration Reform bill for the President.
CHRIS WALLACE: But, Governor, let's talk about the Republicans and how much they have changed. After 2012, the Republican National Committee did what was called a post mortem on what they need to do, on how to do better, how to reach out of the more.
Here's what they had to say about Hispanics, "We must embrace comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only."
But, Governor, after the Senate, in a bipartisan basis passed comprehensive immigration reform, House Republicans blocked it.
MITT ROMNEY: Well, what you're going to see is when you have Republican House and Republican Senate, you're going to have to have, of course, Democrats still vote for the bills that Republicans come up with, because you can't get something through the Senate unless you have 60 votes. And that means you got to get a lot of Democrats.
But you're going to see a provision first of all to secure the border, second of all, to deal with those who have come here illegally and, third, to make sure our immigration policies are open and transparent to many people who do want to come here illegally. That's going to happen. You're going to be a bill actually reached the desk of the president, if we finally have someone besides Harry Reid sitting in the Senate.
So, we're going to get it done. I think Republicans in the House were looking at what was coming from the Senate saying, you know what? We can do better if we pick up more seats in the Senate.
I can't tell you whether we're going to win the Senate on Tuesday, but I can tell you, we're going to pick up a lot of seats and we have a lot better prospect of having a piece of legislation, which deals with the issue in the way I described.
The former Massachusetts Governor predicted President Barack Obama would unilaterally enact amnesty for many illegal immigrants without Congressional approval. Romney made the case for the Republican Congress passing a more conservative immigration bill focused on border security that the president would be forced to sign.
