So anotherwords, we vote for a guy that will implement 50 to 75% of Hillary’s goals.
Look, at best Romney will hold the line on current illegal alien policy. Still more millions will pour across our borders and the next democrat will legalize them anyway.
Do you really think Romney will do anything more than cosmetic with regard to illegal immigration?
I don’t. He’s a business man. What has been the policy of big business with regard to illegal immigration?
Thoughts?
Not unless you are calling him a liar. Although I would call him "flexibly opportunistic," I haven't seen indication of that.

He has said he opposes illegal immigration. Whether he means that he'll turn illegals into legals isn't clear. At least he vetoed drivers' licenses for them. Whether that transacts to results depends a great deal upon how he handles Congress, although he could start using DHS to accomplish a lot. Frankly, I haven't heard much specifically on that front.

His money was not made in businesses requiring massive injections of touch labor, so beyond H1b visas (which aren't illegal) I don't know what his personal bias might be there.
That's McCain. It's on his web site, it's in votes he's taken the last 5 years. Restrict speech, global warming, amnesty, close Gitmo, restrict questioning of terrorists. Close the "gun show loophole". Federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Support filibustering of judicial and political nominees. Work for "bipartisanship" with the democrats.
He says Clinton would be a good president, Bill and Hillary have "respect" for him. Leiberman (8% ACU) endorses him.
As to illegal immigration, Tom Tancredo's ONE goal in running was to get HIS policies implemented. Tom Tancredo has personally met with Romney, and has spoken to him about this very issue. And Tom Tancredo endorsed Mitt Romney.
I think I trust Tom Tancredo's opinion on what Romney will do more than I trust your opinion, based as it is on some generalization you have that "all businessmen" oppose following the law on illegal immigration.
