Given that Romney has flip-flopped on every major issue in the past five years, I wouldn’t trust him to keep any promise he makes.
Is that worse than McCain and Huckabee who openly TELL you they’ll legalize those 30 million and cause a defacto automatic expansion of socialist programs ? Talking about “trust”, I don’t trust Huckabee an inch. He is an open-borders, Christians-help-the-downtrodden, corrupt politician that let murderers and rapists go right and left while governor, at a rate 10 times as frequent as neighboring states’ governors did.
We spend almost $400B at Federal and State levels on Foodstamps, Medicaid, Welfare, etc. and our current TOTAL population that falls within those programs definition of “poor” is only 30 million people. Adding 30 million more low-income people to the “legal” population means doubling that to $800B, doesn’t it ? And that doesn’t count adding to the SS/M insolvency mess, since low-wage workers do not contribute anywhere near enough SS/M taxes to pay their own way in those programs.
I sympathize with not wanting Romney. He was my 3rd choice after Hunter and Fred. But his Mormonism and HeathCare and Pro-Choice “problems” from his past are less important to me than the illegal aliens and the economy. I’m hoping he’ll consider De Mint, Thompson, or Hunter as VP.
