Thank you

Keep in mind that Ron Paul also attended the spanish debates

I think this whole deal is getting nuts again

We have 2 people left to support , Romney or Ron Paul , this
isn't going to change now

The continued bashing of both these guys on this site
is not doing anyone any good

I do have a neighbor that is Hispanic, he's been here for years and does speak English , enough to understand but he doesn't speak it well and is more comfortable in Spanish ,

I could see where that would benefit him ,

But once again , let me say I do not agree with it , not at all

At this number (857) 288-6400, I only get voice mail. What number are you calling USA Nevada?

Ron Paul does not have a spanish language site. The site referred to in the other thread is not associated with the campaign. It is maintained and paid for by members of the Miami meetup group for Ron Paul.

lots of calls , just keep trying

ok , tell that to Joe 6 pack that finds the site , it looks official and
if you don't speak spanish its highly likely you would assume its
for real

My main concern is for a candidate to NOT support amnesty or any special "pathways" to legalized status for IAs. Romney is clearly on the record as NOT supporting amnesty or pathways. From what I see, this Spanish website doesn't change this.

In a few weeks, the GOP nominee will probably be largely decided. If Romney is not the nominee we will be stuck with openly pro-amnesty McCain or Giuliani as the GOP candidate, along with a Dem majority in Congress and a $100 million ad campaign to push amnesty. Romney is not perfect (who is), but is far better than McCain or Giuliani to counter this threat based on his past record and numerous public statements. You decide.

I don't care for his catering to Hispanics on the language issue, either, but I do remember---and this translated statement reinforces it---he stated several times that immigration to the US should be based on worker skill, and he specifically excluded the poorly-educated, low-skilled. Of course when you look at his criteria, you have to wonder where he stands on importing tech workers and the like.

This man isn't the perfect candidate, but I think we would have more leverage with him on the illegal immigration issue than with McCain, Obama or Clinton. We can't predict how he will conduct himself if elected; we only have his past to go on. I will still be voting for him in the primary.

Romney is the best chance we have
Romney's record is good and it is from a time when his position was not popular
There was a time when the mildest statement about illegal immigration was met with an instant and overwhelming attack..Remember before 9/11 the entire Congress stood up and applauded Fox..and vowed to pass amnesty immediately?
It is well to remember who stood up on our side...back in the days when being against illegal immigration was tantamount to being a member of the klan..
Romney has my support..

I don't like the fact that Romney wants to increase legal immigration. That shouldn't even be considered until we clean up the mess we already have.

As far as the Spanish sites go, anyone who doesn't understand the English language is not, in my opinion, well versed enough to even know what's going on in our political world, and therefore shouldn't even be voting if they don't know what there voting for. I am sick and tired of everything having to be in Spanish to cater to people who refuse to learn this language.
