You make some good points. All this article says is that Romney is fcr coming up with a plan for dealing with illegals before the Dems put us on the defensive and bring in amnesty with us just being reactive and turning Latinos against Republicans.

I would like to suggest a position. If I knew how to write to Romney I would suggest it to him.

I would develop an army of Latino mercenaries (enlisting illegal aliens here) to go and help Mexico overcome their drug cartel problem. If they participated in this army, their amnesty would be that they would not be prosecuted for illegal entry into this country and they would be first in line for job training and jobs at industries set up in Mexico by American companies. We could transfer some of the things made in China to these American companies in Mexico.

That way, we get the illegals out of the country. We get them established with good jobs in their own country. We free up jobs here. And we lessen our dependence on China.

Here's the entire section from The Hill article. No where does it say Romney has changed his position in favor of illegals. This is a manufactured controversy by the liberal media and their friends on FR.

Romney believes that one way to attract more minorities to the GOP is to pass immigration reform before the next election, saying the issue becomes demagogued by both parties on the campaign trail.

“We have a natural affinity with Hispanic-American voters, Asian-American voters,” he said.

Speaking in his Ritz-Carlton room with a pair of blue jeans on the dresser, Romney declined to criticize immigration hard-liners like former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who backed Romney after he dropped his own presidential bid. Romney argued that all 2008 GOP candidates — including Tancredo — strongly favor legal immigration.
