Thread: Romeny attacks Huck on immigration

I'm surprised it took Romney so long to go after him on this.
Its clearly Hucks weakest point and the easiest to attack on


http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/20 ... spark.html


"The central charge in the ad is that when he was governor of Arkansas, Huckabee "supported in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants ... (and) even supported taxpayer-funded scholarships for illegal aliens."

I think you'll see Huck's poll numbers take a skydive when these ads sink in.

The flip flop head has no room to be chastizing anyone on their immigration stance. Remember folks, Romney supported last year's amnesty bill S. 2611, and he criticized any Reps or Dems who stood against the president's bill.

Romney is about as serious on immigration as mclamebrain or guiliani.

Study the record

Romney's goes back to 2003

He stopped drivers licenses and in state tuition for illegals in Mass
He was against bi lingual education in Mass.
He partnered Mass state police to work with ICE

He has the highest rating for a front runner on the immigration issue
with numbersusa for a front runner

Now you were saying ?

USA, I have studied his record. He stopped driver's licenses for illegals on his way out of office, and his replacement has already done away with that law. What took flip flop so long to do it?
Also, he has been flip flopping on the immigration issue throughout his entire campaign.

You claim he has the highest rating in NumbersUSA? You should check it again because it isn't the highest rating. Going down the list of issues, he sure has a lot of "poor" and "fair" marks where as others have higher marks than romney.

You need to recheck your facts

He veto'd the drivers license bill for illegals

He also partnered Mass st police to work with ICE ,
Is it his fault the new lib symp Governor canceled it?

If you look at past accomplishments on fighting illegal immigration
in the bottom row , Romney has the highest rating out of all the
other "front runners"

Only Paul, Tancredo and Hunter have higher ratings for past actions

But I was talking about the front runners

Compared to Rudi, Huckabee and McCain , Romney is light years ahead

like I respectfully said

Study the facts

USA, yes, compared to the front runners, romney does have higher ratings amongst the front runners, but the fact remains that Romney isn't going to be tough in immigration, despite what he says in his speeches. He has said (lately) he is against amnesty, but he also said he doesn't believe in deporting the 12 million (more like 25) illegals already here, and has said on more than one ocassion, he believes they should be put on a path to citizenship.
Also, I cannot find anywhere that states Romney vetoed the bill for illegals to get licenses, it just states he opposed the plan. He did however veto the bill for in-state tuition for illegals.
Romney also didn't do anything for the sanctuary city status either.
Please don't accuse me of not checking facts because I seem to be the one posting links to back up my claims, where as you have not.

Romney killed the drivers license bill by stating very firmly he would veto it,

As far as deporting 25 million illegals , I'm not for it either because its not going to happen

the only way to weed them out is by attrician ,

There is no way that ICE is going to go into a city like LA or Chicago and round them up , its not going to happen

What needs to be done is the jobs magnet , anchor baby scam, any and all benefits , this all needs to stop

Many will leave , some won't and those can be rounded up ,

I'm a Tancredo supporter but I also see the big picture ,
I would rather have Romney then Rudi , McCain or Huck , their
positions are the same as Hillary, Obama and Edwards

Open borders and amnesty

Would you rather have one of them ?

Also Romney as Governor would have no control over city sanct policies

He has no control to cut off federal funding , I don't know about state funding for certain programs though , he probobly couldn't control that either , I don't know how that state is set up ,

Here in Nevada its all controlled by the legislature and the gov would have no input

While Rudi openly supported NY as a sanctuary city and even went to the supreme court to keep it such

Huck openly supported in state tuition for illegals and even went so far as to say they should get taxpayer grants to help them pay for it

No I wouldn't rather have one of them, and I've never once given my support for any of them. But Romney isn't the anwer either. How can we possibly have a president who is nothing but a stereotypical politician and changes stances to get votes? In addition to this, Romney is a CFR member, and we don't need another CFR member in the White House.
Romney has proven on more than ocassion that he will change direction faster than the wind if it will get him votes.
I also look at the big picture, but I refuse to put any kind of support behind the flip flop artist.
I agree (as all of us here have many times in the past) that the benefits, citizenship by birthright, job magnets, etc. need to be eliminated. That is a no brainer.
I am just trying to figure out why you would put support behind a candidate who isn't much better than his top tier rivals because basically you are saying that if he is the lesser of two evils, you will support him.
I will not and I refuse to settle for the lesser of two evils this time.
