Mitt Romney: Republicans Should 'Swallow Hard,' Pass 'Permanent' Amnesty Bill
Breitbart ^ | 26 Nov 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/27/2014 6:42:56 AM PST by Cheerio

Former Massachusetts Governor and failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes Republicans should "swallow hard" and pass a permanent amnesty bill in the wake of President Barack Obama's executive amnesty that even Romney conceded would encourage more illegal immigrants to enter the country.

Leave it to romney to embrace a position opposed by 65% of the voting population. What a leader...for the next sailing of the Titanic.

It is clear that something will have to be done besides sending 15 million people back to their home countries. As much as we might want that to happen, it is not going to happen. But with anything that gets done, we start with securing the border and getting rid of criminals.

Any type of amnesty begins with a limited number of people who have been productive, been here for a considerable period of time, paid taxes, and not been living on taxpayer money. I beg to differ. I think you have swallowed some of the leftist propaganda e.g. We can't deport millions & millions blah blah blah; so, we must amnesty some blah blah blah.

I would suggest you turn the argument on its head e.g. we can't import millions & millions blah blah blah... Well if we cant import millions & millions then HOW did they get here?

In other words, the premise that it is America's task to round up & deport all the illegals in some set period of time is a flawed premise. There is no either this or that legitimate argument that bypasses the rule of law and the enforcement thereof...

I would suggest that all the illegals who funded their own passage here & planned such can just as well do the reverse without a big government hand IF.... America simply secures the border & enforces the immigration laws -ALL the immigration laws. Doing this will see an eventual decrease in illegals. There is no time limit for success nor a time limit reason to not start doing the right thing right now! When there is nothing here for illegals, INCLUDING the dream of some future amnesty, they will go away. In my opinion, amnesty now real or even potential will only increase the amount of illegals... America must send a clear message NO MORE DAMN AMNESTIES, NOW OR EVER AGAIN!

Folks, just remember back to the names of those people who demanded, screamed, hollered, accused, derides, mocked and called you unpartiotic for refusing to drink the Mitt Kool Aid.

Think back to how some of us were blasted mercilessly for standing out ground and calling them on it.

Remember those Freepers. Now you know whose side they were on all along. Liberals.

“Government isn’t needed to ship them if they self-deport because it’s so harsh here.”

Exactly. Take away the free handouts, prosecute people that hire them, and they will leave.

It worked when Oklahoma passed an anti-illegal bill. They scurried over to the surrounding states. It can work nationwide just as easily.

The corrupt Mexican bastards running that country are in bed with the drug cartels and working to destabilize the USA and threaten our national security.

The Mexican government is our ENEMY.

When the WH is taken back from the CPUSA in 2016, the RIGHT WING needs to make life HELL for the corrupt Mexican bastard presidente and his fellow drug dealers.

No, y’all, he’s absolutely right.

Let’s pass a permanent amnesty Bill with the proviso that they ALL go live with HIM.

There are still those here on FR that support and defend Mitt Romney because he was somehow 'less liberal' or something.

There are still those here on FR that did little to defeat Mitt Romney in the '08 primaries and '12 primaries because they were somehow 'less interested' or something.

Gotta prove we can “Govern” even if it means driving the car over a cliff because it is apparently a sin to put the car in park along side the road from time to time...

Gotta “Govern”, otherwise people may start to think that we can get by with a lot less government....

I voted for that dumb sum’bitch in 2012, but I sure as hell don’t support of defend the lousy POS. I was voting against the other guy who was worse by an order of magnitude.

But there was no box on the ballot for against. There were however boxes for more conservative options.

To date, no one has shown where Obama is worse. People say that to ease their conscience but no proof of the assertion exists. Romney has eventually come out supporting every single position Obama holds. Every one. After denying/campaigning against that very thing.

Past is past. Don’t make the same mistake when they run him in 16. And they will.
