I am missing the difference, they come forward and they stay, with Romney’s support.
I call that amnesty.
~”I am missing the difference, they come forward and they stay, with Romney’s support.”~
You’re missing the difference because you’re determined to do so.
The difference is, Romney wants illegals to bring themselves in line with the law. You are interpreting that as him saying that he wants to forgive them for breaking the law.
There are plenty of reasons to oppose Romney. I support him because he’s the best of those who have a shot at winning; I am dissatisfied with several other things about him.
But it’s not productive to make up accusations to throw at him from whole cloth. Irregardless of his other faults, he is not pro-amnesty by any stretch of the imagination, nor has he ever been in his public life.
You can claim he has by taking a quote or two out of context; but if that’s all you’ve got in your attempts to refute him, then your position is tenuous indeed.
