Look, at best Romney will hold the line on current illegal alien policy. Still more millions will pour across our borders and the next democrat will legalize them anyway.

Not unless you are calling him a liar. Although I would call him "flexibly opportunistic," I haven't seen indication of that.

Do you really think Romney will do anything more than cosmetic with regard to illegal immigration?

He has said he opposes illegal immigration. Whether he means that he'll turn illegals into legals isn't clear. At least he vetoed drivers' licenses for them. Whether that transacts to results depends a great deal upon how he handles Congress, although he could start using DHS to accomplish a lot. Frankly, I haven't heard much specifically on that front.

He’s a business man. What has been the policy of big business with regard to illegal immigration?

His money was not made in businesses requiring massive injections of touch labor, so beyond H1b visas (which aren't illegal) I don't know what his personal bias might be there.

I believe that we could say Bush doesn't like illegal immigration either. That hasn't translated to any action. I've never heard him defend it, and he states he wants to stop it. The throngs still flow.

Have you seen him say he would build a wall, or otherwise take immediate action to control the border. I haven't. If I had, I guess you could claim I was calling him a liar, but I haven't seen it.

I just don't see him taking definitive action any more than Bush has.
