Will Mitt Flip Again? Many smart Republicans are convinced Mitt Romney won’t change his new, conservative positions back to his old, less-conservative positions after the November election. I agree. I think he’ll change them before the November election. On at least one issue, anyway. On immigration, I fully expect a post-Tampa “pivot” to a message that dangles the prospect of near-term amnesty in front of the Latino voters for whom it is supposedly a central concern. The sort of advisers a moderate like Romney has will surely recommend this. It’s a big mistake, of course: the only way to really remove the incentive for illegal border crossing is to first kill the idea that there will always be an amnesty down the road somewhere. Which means no dangling! …


P.S.: You could say I dangled. I deny it. This is as close as I came:

Tell undocumented immigrants living here that they will have to wait. Amnesty isn’t happening anytime soon. Get control of our borders first … If these measures actually work, survive the inevitable lawsuits, and send a clear message to the world that the game has changed — you’ve got to come here legally –then in a few years we can start talking about some sort of legalization illegal immigrants already here. Not now. [E.A.]

That seems a sensible compromise policy (though I now think it would be improved by replacing “a few years” with a hard number, like “8″). But it’s an ineffective pander to Latino voters, who’ve been conditioned to think all the talk of enforcement is at best a charade you have to go through to get the Democrat-sponsored amnesty that’s just around the corner. Which is why I suspect Romney will go further down the dangle road.

Romney should translate this strip to Spanish too. Illegals would certainly appreciate it.

There MUST be an organized campaign to get him to flip FOR closing the borders, and it has to drown out the Republican Back Chamber of Commerce, etc for 'cheap labor' people.

And it has to be on his first term, his first months in office need to be flooding him with faxes and emails. The piss-poor attitudes here are going to help the illegals stay in the USA.

People are SICK of illegals, and we need to start organizing this NOW, for a huge push, constant push for the next 8 years.

Yes, Romney is Bush 3, but he will bend to pressure. ITs up to America now.

You are so correct SeaBee..The dictator loves the Romney trash talk.
Perhaps after Florida United We Stand and will resume.
The dividers are very dangerous and need to stop with their detractive, destructive attitudes and get back on the pro-active road.

If Romney gets elected then he's going to do whatever he wants, he won't be campaigning anymore. I seriously doubt the american people are going to be able to alter anything he does.
