Only two Republicans currently running for President, oppose this and any other “immigration bill,” i.e. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo.

Mitt Romney strongly opposes this latest move too.

http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Governor_Mitt_Romney_On_The_Senate_Immigration_Agreement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6390 Boston, MA - Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on today's U.S. Senate agreement on immigration reform: "I strongly oppose today's bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new 'Z-Visa' does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S. "Today's Senate agreement falls short of the actions needed to both solve our country's illegal immigration problem and also strengthen our legal immigration system. Border security and a reliable employment verification system must be our first priority."

Strangely, while Gov. of MA, Romney NEVER spoke a word about illegal immigration in his state.

I just finished my letters to my Senators and Rep to go out in tomorrow’s mail. Will also be making phone calls to their offices tomorrow. Hope many people will do the same, as mailed letters and calls are most effective in letting them know how you feel about this issue. I am really very disapointed to hear President Bush say positive things about legislation that provides amnesty after hearing him say a number of times that he would not sign a bill which allows amnesty!
