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.

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.

Yup. And right on schedule too.

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.

Would saying anything yesterday have made a difference?

Yes, he should have stood up and pointed out that Obama has exceeded his Constitutional authority and because of that he will rescind this order when sworn in.

Your theory that he is remaining silent because of political calculations to win the election vs the possibility he supports the same America transforming amnesties for illegals Obama does is sheer positive thinking.

Romney should speak out against what Obama is doing and the more people are willing to support him no matter what he says or does the less incentive he has do to the right thing.

You should seriously consider changing directions MW to join those that would put pressure on Romney to do the right thing instead of siding those that will excuse everything he does because you don't want to face the very real possibility that your vote for President wont mean much or a thing like it would not have mattered in the last three Presidential elections in the US.

Globalist pro amnesty candidates would have won no matter which way you voted in 2000, 2004, and 2008 but if it makes you feel better to think you have escaped go ahead. While you are feeling better about things, you and others like you are less likely to address the real problem here in a way that could lead to possible improvements.

You're way off base here, googler!!! I didn't say anything about antagonizing illegals. Please read what I wrote again. Twisting my words to fit your personal needs is wrong on so many levels. Here's what I said: "Why antagonize Hispanics and illegal alien supporters when there is nothing to be gained?"

The first thing we need to do is to make sure that Romney is elected. Once that happens he can be persuaded to go to work to combat the illegal immigration problem. The OUST OBAMA COALITION is working hard to make this happen, but we need help. Please join us. Google the name and check out the website. After November it will be too late for us all. God bless!

For 22 years come fall I've fought illegal immiration. For years I felt that I was the only fighter. Along came the anti illegal pacs, I've tried being with them, I 've went without them, I've returned to pacs. I've been swayed by the "(s)he's better than what we have," and I've been swayed by the "are you a one issue voter?" arguments At age 71 now I'll be swayed by no one's comment, only my own conscience. I may not have all that many votes left to cast, that is up to another power. This election I will not vote for either major party, regardless of party, regardless with or without one or more pacs power, little has changed unless I credit the worst, then things have changed. For the WORSE!! I'm still watching Romney for a powerful statement, If he canot win me over, then I will not feel guilty that that makes me believe, but he surely seems reluctant to say it, if he believes it in any way..

If Romney cannot win me over and I vote for neither major candidate, then I will not have to apologize for making it worse. I will sleep comfortably with my conscience. I see many doing what has always been done, vote for ths best compromise. Well, if one keeps doing as they have always done and expects a different result, then one cannnot claim to have been fooled, but only a fool. This time I choose to do it differently, because nothing less has made any difference. And like others here, if we don't cause it to change this election then I do not believe that elections will ever change it.
