CORAOPOLIS, Pa. --Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said the U.S. Senate's failure to pass an immigration bill backed by President Bush was a "victory for the people."
People-one, Washington politicians-zero," the former Massachusetts governor told reporters near Pittsburgh on Thursday. "I think the failure of this bill is related to the Washington politicians' failure to connect with the American people."
Romney said he doesn't favor deporting the 12 million unlawful immigrants in the United States but also doesn't want them to receive a "special pathway" to citizenship.

I don’t fall hook line and sinker. I saw the video of this interview. He is a little mealy mouthed on the subject. He actually said (yes I watched it) that there are 2 choices. Either let them stay (but not amnesty) or enforcement through attrition. However, he didn’t say which one he preferred or unequivocally that he would insist the laws are enforced.
Mealy mouthed does not get my vote anymore.
I do my homework. ;)
Well, that's not bad -- it's probably more informed than most people.
If there is one thing we know about Mitt, it’s that he’s part weasel and part eel.
