He also supports a pathway to citixenship if illegal aliens meet certain conditions. I saw this on a list in one of the Iowa newspapers that detailed each candidates position on illegal immigration. If I can find it again I will post it.

Wow... alot of Romney posts today..

If Romney is against Amnesty, why did he support the SHAMNESTY bill a few months ago?

Why is there various articles and such stipulating that he WILL give a path to citizenship for those already here?

Naw, Romeny is a CFR big business hack. I mean, he is the same type we are fighting against.

Romney didn't support the Shamnesty bill months ago---he specifically said that during the debates.

Also, why does Ron Paul not have a plan to go after employers to hold them accountable in any way???

Rather than just snipe back and forth on this I'll just ask you
who we should support THAT HAS A VIABLE chance to win and does
have a record against illegals ?
Huck?
Rudi?
Hillary?
Obama?
McCain?

The way things are shaping up those will be the choices

Jeez Louise, would y'all just QUIT!!

I just have to ask this

If Romney was such a big "amnesty" supporter

"If Romney is against Amnesty, why did he support the SHAMNESTY bill a few months ago?"

Why did he stop the instate and drivers license bennys and partner
ICE with the Mass state police?

That just doesn't wash with being a big amnesty supporter

Mitt Romney openly and clearly opposed the Senate amnesty bill.

Here is a link (if I can type it in correctly) to a press release he issued about the Senate amnesty bill on May 17, 2007: www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/ ... _Agreement .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6390

Boston, MA - Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on today's U.S. Senate agreement on immigration reform:

"I strongly oppose today's bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new 'Z-Visa' does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S.

"Today's Senate agreement falls short of the actions needed to both solve our country's illegal immigration problem and also strengthen our legal immigration system. Border security and a reliable employment verification system must be our first priority."
