Sen. Mitt Romney warned Friday that President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs against Mexico were the wrong approach and could harm Americans more than they help curtail illegal immigration.

“A tariff targeting Mexico that negatively impacts our own interests will only end in a waiting game of increasingly harmful consequence to the American people,” Romney said.

The only harmful consequence I’ve seen lately is YOU.....MUTT ROMNEY!! Thanks Utah!.......grrrr

[Widget Jr]

The typical Freeper reaction every time Romney tries to have the last word on anything is best described here.

My husband was saying today that he was glad Romney lost.

Both of us should have paid a lot of attention to his RomneyCare.

You know, people don’t just dabble in Leftist ideology.

If they are going to go to the lengths to nationalize or even at the state level health care, you know they’ve got to be extremely lame across the board.

I voted for him too. I’m sure a lot of folks sat on their hands. Kudos to them.

None of us Capitalists want to see tariffs. We all hope they are being used to bring them down from our trading partners.

With Mexico, it isn’t about trade straight up. It’s about Mexico abusing location to screw our nation over. I’ve had enough of it, and any leader of ours should act on it immediately.

I’m with Trump on this all the way.

I’ll pay more for goods if I have to have them from Mexico. I want illegal aliens stopped cold in their tracks.

100% spot on (as usual, lol).

[RArtfulogerDodger]

Can we never be rid of this traitorous snot-faced kindergarten whimperer?

[Theodore R.]

Simply don’t buy the Mexican goods and wait for a settlement by which time the tariff will be lifted.

Ole Mitt is second to only the Hildabeast when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome. The ought to form a club. The TDS Fun Bunch.

Isn’t this the guy that put his dog on his car roof.

Thanks Kalamata.

Mitt, if government had been doing their job this last, oh say 30 or 40 years running now, a job they are paid quite well to do, a job they took an oath to do, a job that in fact isn't optional, then we wouldn't be having this conversation, we wouldn't have millions of illegal aliens here in the first place. Your particular brand of failure theater "can't get there from here" word salad bullshit is all played out, nobody is having any of it. The constitution isn't a smorgasbord. You know damn well what the laws are, never mind the sentiment of the overwhelming majority of Americans.You, or guys just like you, have been a big part of the problem. A big, big part of the problem. Either support this president, support the American people, or STFU.

[TrueFact]

Geez, another pretend right-winger who should retire and go away. Mitt, not interested in your opinion. You lost; remember?

[Freedom4US]

Ain’t it grand? Members of congress acting like they are just spectators or something. Jeeze Louise. I suppose in a way they are.

[Vermont Lt]

Then, damnit Mitch, friggin do something about it in Congress. At least he is trying to do something.

[Randy Larsen]

Romney never, ever misses a chance to show how smart he thinks he is! The only problem I see is, he’s ALWAYS wrong.

[wildcard_redneck]

“I have a lingering suspicion that Trump’s tariffs on Mexico aren’t aimed at pressuring Mexico to stop the flood of invaders. They’re aimed at pressuring Congress to change the stupid laws that let every mutant on the planet show up at a border crossing and file a claim for asylum.”

Quote of the day! I had not thought of this before your post but it makes a lot of sense. President Trump is causing greater financial loss to the globalists than there is benefit from open borders to them.

Mitt prefers avocados to citizens.

[KDF48]

American taxpayers are subsidizing the people smugglers because the employers aren’t being fined. The money keeps going back to the “coyotes”. To deal with illegal immigration; cut the funding.Also, make legal immigration easier. And send illega rep. Omar home to Somalia.

[gogeo]

PDJT has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at those issues, Mr. Romney. That’s in sharp contrast to you.

[gogeo]

Next time we’ll tie Mitt to the roof and let the dog drive.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
