We'll see who is spinning:

In a November 2005 interview with the Globe, Romney described immigration proposals by McCain and others as "quite different" from amnesty, because they required illegal immigrants to register with the government, work for years, pay taxes, not take public benefits, and pay a fine before applying for citizenship.
"That's very different than amnesty, where you literally say, 'OK, everybody here gets to stay,' " Romney said in the interview. "It's saying you could work your way into becoming a legal resident of the country by working here without taking benefits and then applying and then paying a fine."
Romney did not specifically endorse McCain's bill, saying he had not yet formulated a full position on immigration. But he did speak approvingly of efforts by McCain and Bush to solve the nation's immigration crisis, calling them "reasonable proposals."
Romney also said in the interview that it was not "practical or economic for the country" to deport the estimated 12 million immigrants living in the US illegally. "These people contribute in many cases to our economy and to our society," he said. "In some cases, they do not. But that's a whole group we're going to have to determine how to deal with."

So, less than two years ago, Mitt was spouting the same "it's not really amnesty" nonsense that we are hearing today from Bush and McCain. He praised their proposals. And said we couldn't deport all the illegals.
The only one spinning here is you. That's TWO of your nonsensical posts I've shot down with very little effort. Don't you Romniacs realize that there is this web app out there called Google?
Of course, everyone supports some kind of immigration reform. Nobody in their right mind supports the Z visa, however. It's a deal breaker.
Plus, I was talking about his ACTUAL record which is the best indicator of future actions. He was tough on illegal immigration issues while governor, but you conveniently ignore that and go back to old statements taken out of context which do not actually refer to the specific legislation being proposed NOW.
You can have the last word, as I see you are unreasonable and firmly anti-Mitt. So be it.
