“I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,” Romney said after a campaign stop in Milford, New Hampshire.
“I think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long term solution because an executive order is, of course, a short term matter and can be reversed by subsequent presidents,” Romney said.
“I would like to seek legislation that deals with this issue and I happen agree with Marco Rubio as he looked at, considered this issue, he said that this is an important matter that we have to find a long term solution,” Romney said.
Romney kicks the can...
“I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,”
What he should have said was:
“I believe the status of UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS who HAVE LOST THEIR JOB through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,”
Obama merely kicked the can down the road. The status of the “Dreamers” has been reduced to a political football that will have to be punted every two years. Why do anything permanent about illegals now? The ones that might be innocent of the physical act of illegal immigration can now have the American Dream (at least a job and a home) in two year increments.
Obama did nobody any favors on this one, including himself.
There was no “executive order” There was just a memo to the HHS Secr. This is an unlawful use of power!
