Mitt's plan is to incrementalize the movement towards turning back the impact of the criminal alien element.I'm curious how you know this. And if he plans to do it incrementally (i.e., unnoticeably), then how is he going to get any political mileage out of it?
I do know that, from the article, Ted Kennedy, co-sponsor of the latest amnesty proposal in Congress, considers Romney's proposal a "healthy step forward". How likely is it going to be, then, that it'll impinge on Kennedy's values?
Who knows exactly what Kennedy's values are with respect to Mitt's plan in that right now Mitt is not necessarily targeting criminal aliens. Kennedy must defuse the plan by Mitt because it goes against everything Democrat and if fat Ted made a stink out of it everybody would know it must be good for the country.
Mitt's plan is a shot across the bow, a preemptive strike, a sucker punch to Hillary's campaign plans to announce Hillary care.
