Thread: Romney silent as millions line up for amnesty

Can anyone explain to me why Romney nor his running mate have uttered one single word on the topic when millions, who are here illegally, are lining up for amnesty? You would think a serious matter like this would warrant a response, even if it's for a minute or two, from a person wanting to be the leader of the AMERICAN and LEGAL population.

I haven't heard him speak on the topic nor seen any press release on the matter:

Press Releases | Mitt Romney for President


That right there tells you all you need to know about this fool. Both Obama and Romney are whining about the other campaign's attack ads all the while the country slides into deeper ***t. Why the American public puts up with it I don't know. The ideal third party candidate would have a field day in showing these two what it means to be a real leader.

It does bode ill. I'm sure a Romney supporter will be along soon to rationalize this for us.

He is silent because Gutierrez is correct: this amnesty will never be reversed once implemented. The only possibility left it the Steve King lawsuit to block it with some creative judge-shopping. But RINO Boehner has not gotten behind that, and King alone may not have standing.

I bet if Romney would get behind King, then Boehner would as well, but I sure don't foresee that happening.

Just so you know, Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate and is in a race for the life of the country. He has to weigh everything he says so he does not stupidly kill his chances to unseat Obama in November. Why antagonize Hispanics and illegal alien supporters when there is nothing to be gained? He has spoken on the issue a number of times in the past. Would saying anything yesterday have made a difference? What's done is done, Romney can't do anything about it until January. Personally, I don't see how speaking on it at this point would benefit his campaign (just my opinion).

As for your third party theory, what makes you think a third party candidate would be someone we could all get behind? There is much more to it than just being called 'a third party candidate.' I guess it's easy to criticise when you offer no alternative other than to say "third party candidate." Of course you did throw out the word "ideal" but that's easy when you don't saddle the word with an actual person. Who in the world is this "third party candidate" you're speaking of? Maybe you'll give some of us the opportunity to critique him or her. Is it someone who actually has a chance of winning or is it just someone who will siphon votes off Romney? Honestly, in my 53 years I've never seen an "ideal" candidate, regardless of party.

I don't know if it'll be reversed or not but I'm hopefull the program will not be reinstuted when it ends in two years. Of course a Romney presidency is all that will keep that hope alive because Obama will most certainly continue the program.

Can you please give me some examples or websites where he has spoken on the issue? I would like to see for myself.

I don't know if we had a third party or even a fourth party candidate we would all be able to agree? We have one common bond, illegal immigration. We are all human beings with different values and ideas. As strongly as we feel on illegal immigration when it comes to picking a president is that the only issue we consider? What about the other issues like; Obamacare, Economy, Unions, Welfare, Gay Marriages, etc.? Could we put any of these issues that we might feel strongly about aside? Do we let these issues color our opinions on our candidates?

I agree with Sherry. I am NOT a huge Romney fan. He is not perfect by any means but he is worlds better than Obama politically in too many ways to throw my vote away on another third party candidate.

I voted for Chuck Baldwin in 2008 and was proud to so even tho I knew Obama had it in the bag. I understood McStain had no chance, and I was not going to lower myself by voting for the current thug squatting in the WH.

THIS time however, I believe Romney has a chance of beating him and that is the only reason I will hold my nose and vote for him. Obama is radical to the extreme and it keeps me awake at night wondering of the ways he could finish this country off with a second term. He must be stopped.

So you're "hopeful" Romney will not continue the program if he's President, and in your previous post you attribute his current silence on the matter so as not to antagonize illegals. So you'd figure he'd not want to "antagonize" illegals in the future in order to get re-elected no? So he'll re-enact Obama's immigration order right? Why he'll do everything he can not to antagonize illegals in his term if that's the case, so we can only imagine what we have in store. And he's said he wants to work with Republicans AND DEMOCRATS to solve the immigration issue.
