Friday afternoon, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said that he tends to agree with Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubios stance on immigration policy.
In response to President Barack Obamas changed position on the issue and decision to selectively enforce illegal immigration law Rubio said its a short-term answer to a long-term problem.
I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered and should be solved on a long-term basis, so they know what their future would be in this country, Romney said in a statement provided to The Daily Caller. I think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution because an executive order is, of course, just a short-term matter it can be reversed by subsequent presidents.
Id like to see legislation that deals with this issue, and I happen to agree with Marco Rubio as he looked at this issue, Romney continued. He said that this is an important matter, that we have to find a long-term solution, but that the presidents action makes reaching a long-term solution more difficult. If Im president, well do our very best to have that kind of long-term solution that provides certainty and clarity for the people who come into this country through no fault of their own by virtue of the action of their parents.

You got that right. 25 million Mexi/Central/South Americans self-deported from their home countries to the U.S. Create the right conditions here, and they will all self-deport back. No need for Homeland Security, ICE or DoJ. If those other countries could make 25 million people want to leave, then we can too.
Weasel words? Sure but politically they were astute. He neither advocated for or against the illegals bit merely claimed a long term solution is better then the temporary band aid of Obama.
A long term solution does not necessarily mean these people get a pass in any way.

Warning his illegal gardeners when he was governor was a form of amnesty. It was weasel words the same as yours are weasel words.
Instead of a childish and insulting response why not keep your responses civil. You do know what civil means, don’t you?
I really don’t care what some noobtard troll thinks.
Go away boy, you bother me.
