Yes, Mitt does make a lot of sense, much more than Bush when it comes to immigration.

Reminds me of Rudy being personally against abortion, but wanting to protect a woman's right to choose."

If the choice comes down to Romney, Giuliani and McCain, I'll hold my nose and vote for Romney.

His positions on abortion and gay marriage don't make the hell of a lot of sense, though.

If we are going to do "something" about immigration, then why worry with an amnesty. If they are going to make work visas more available, then these people could just return to their home country and return with one, regarding we haven't caught them committing a crime. Then they would be here legally, and the bad ones would have had to go home or be here illegally, hopefully in a more difficult environment.

I also think that employers who are going to avail themselves of this resource should have several requirements on them.

They must register to legally use the foreign labor pool.

They must sign labor contracts, registered with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, indicating the length of time, not to exceed two years, the foreign employee will be employed and in the country.

They must pay for the expense of the worker to and from the country.

They must provide adequate housing, or it's equivalent in income, to it's foreign employee workforce.

They must pay for it's employees health care while in country.

They must ensure that foreign employees operating motor vehicles in the United States must have international licenses (minimum) and have auto insurance.

If a foreign employee brings children, the employer must pay the local school district a equitable rate for the cost of education for the dependent.

Finally, the company must post a $10,000 secured bond with Immigrations and Custom Enforcement at the employees port of entry, to be forfeit if the employee is not verified to have returned to his country after two years or completion of the contract, whichever shall come first.

I think everyone could live with most of this.

He still wants to reward 20 million law breakers for breaking the law. That is the deal breaker right there. You don't get my vote.

We screwed up when we did that "for the last time" and we can't do it again.

Lets not pretend Illegals arent illegal Mr. Romney.
Lets not pretend Muslims dont desire to end the American
way of life.
Lets pretend that the US is tired of terrorist hijinx
and weve committed to wiping every known collaborator

What the video. He opposes deportation and wants to hand out worker cards to those already here. He sounds just like Bush but with wilder hand movements and, you know, speaking English , not pigeon Texan.

That's about the best formulation of the immigration issue I've heard from the leading 4 candidates.
