[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Romney should come out with a 5 point plan for immigration:
1.secure the borders
2. e verify for employers
3. Reform the vis process
4. Deport criminals that are illegal
5. Create a temp work visa program.

Hispanics will understand that and the Independents will respect someone finally doing something about it.

I would stay away from Immigration or any other issue.

Focus on the Economy. That is the issue that will decide this election. All the other issues are merely Democrat attempts at diversion and distraction.

Good plan, Ex-Hip.....I'm in AZ. and have seen the state over-run with illegals, but some sort of work visa is needed, which would help lots in Texas too, as well as many other agriculture areas that desperately need seasonal help.

Why not make it a positive, a win-win for us, and a chance to help our neighbors to the south.

Mitt could organize a traveling migration in season to spots that need it. Registered and law-abiding "illegals" are welcome to work here temporarily, and could even perhaps enhance their immigration priority. I'm one in favor of the letter of the law, but I'd bend to something like the above.
