HOWIE CARR, HOST: Who are you for, for president right now, Ann?
ANN COULTER: Well, don't tell him but I'm planning on giving Mitt Romney a little more time to rest -- flying out, kidnapping him and depriving him of sleep, food and water until he agrees to run again.
CARR: You're kidding?
COULTER: No.
CARR: You really want him to run again?
COULTER: Yeah, I think he was a fantastic candidate. As I've told you before, he would have won by a larger landslide than Ronald Reagan did in 1980 without Teddy Kennedy's immigration bill. And it's basically impossible to beat an incumbent, but he is head and shoulders better than the other candidates we had. And I don't want to name them, but I mean you go through the list -- and for one thing, as you and I discussed, and this is the most important point, that all of your listeners have to tell all of their friends knock it off with the Congressmen or inspirational figures. It's got to be a Governor or a Senator, preferably a Governor. And, you know, there is a limited world -- a list of who those people are, and they all have problems. None of them are articulate and reasonable, and as good on immigration as Mitt Romney! CARR: What about Ted Cruz?
COULTER: Well, he's a lot worse on immigration.
CARR: Is he that bad? I didn't think he was that bad on immigration.
COULTER: Well, most Republicans are, that's why you need to call your Congressman. I'm not singling out Ted Cruz, he has the same position a lot of these idiots have. 'Oh yes, let them come here and we have a special permit, we just won't give them citizenship. But we want to increase ...

Ted Kennedy led the memorial passage of JFK’s 1965 Immigration Act, but it was JFK’s law, and decade old goal, he had even written a book on it in the 1950s.
JFK wanted to replace the anti-democrat, American Protestant vote, with the Catholic vote.
Democrats had no chance of winning the vote of traditional Americans, so the democrats had to replace/continue replacing them with foreigners.
Not pro Romney, so relax. Although I do not recall him ever stating such in any of the interviews or debates.
One things for certain, any hardliner is a sure loser. All we need is someone that won’t fight against us. That’s the way we will get what we want.
Romney said there’s only so much an individual can do when hiring a legitimate company.

If Willard is so incapable he cant even hire workers who aren’t criminals, hes not fit to be president...
So you think the law in place is just fine? The law in place is Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Act of 1965. That law is a travesty. It is responsible for all the ills we see today with illegal aliens.
So you would kiss Ted Kennedy’s dead rigid butt inside his exhumed coffin and tell conservatives to leave his law alone?
I thought she was OK at 1 time, but that was more than 10 years ago
*****************
A whole LOT of masks slipped between 2010 an 2012.
No, it's not. Farmers Branch, Tx and Hazelton, PA just lost their long-time fight to uphold local ordinances that ban illegals from renting in the respective towns. They took their cases all the way to SCOTUS.
All we need is someone that wont fight against us.

well as for us Conservatives, we don’t “need” Willard..
hes fought against us all along...
hes against anything Conservative..
and where its politically expedient he takes a short time out from giving Conservatives the middle finger and puts his fore finger in the air and then lies about his stance on any subject ..
Its a federal law...
Nice background history but it’s still referred to as Ted Kennedy’s law.
For those that say immigration need not be fixed, that the laws on the books are fine just as they are, that all that’s needed is to enforce existing law, they have their collective heads up their asses because the law on the books is Ted Kennedy’s/JFK’s law and it has brought all the problems we see today with respect to legal and illegal immigration.
...Awww...and it only took TWO YEARS from the first time it "came to his attention" until the SECOND time it "came to his attention"..for him to "take the correct steps"....
No the law in place is from 1996 and since...
is there something wrong about making it illegal to hire illegal aliens ???
and about your date 1965 ...In 1971 when I immigrated to the US I could not work in the US until I received my Alien Registration Card or green card..
Personally I did not find that to be demeaning, bigoted, against my “rights” or un-American in any way..
I had agreed to those conditions back home before I ever left to come here..
however Willard’s wee illegal aliens are not hindered by such qualifications for entry...
If you are going to make things up about me (’your boy Willard’), be prepared to have it returned in kind. Now go back to being a shill for illegal aliens.
CHAIN IMMIGRATION!!!
CHAIN IMMIGRATION IS FROM 1965 AND IS STILL THE LAW!!!
CRUZ IS ON OUR SIDE! HE WANTS TO REFORM THE LAW WHEN CONSERVATIVES HAVE THE POWER, NOT BEFORE!
Do you know what it is that is suppose to be broken what needs reform what needs changing about the current strong laws ???
..................................................
Nothing. The law simply needs to be enforced. Now go tell that to Ted Cruz.
And what about your hero Bill Clinton that you defend any time his name is mentioned here?

nice try RomneyBot...
JFK is always protected.
From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, JFK was the end of us.
However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Bostons WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedys blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFKs legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies. Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.
Mitt Romney personally sought out and hired the Colombian landscaper, Romney pushed him onto family members, and stayed with him through 11 years and two national scandals about Romney hiring illegals.
Indeed, because federal law does not limit the ability of non-citizens to obtain rental housing,there is no definition that would be applicable to Farmers Branchs inquiry.
Please read this carefully and then read Cruz’s specific comments from the article ( not the writer’s interpretation) you posted and you will see that he in fact wants illegals currently here to stay:
What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.
Immigration-reform legislation from the Senates so-called Gang of Eight passed that chamber in June and includes a 13-year path to citizenship. Mr. Cruz pushed unsuccessfully for amendments that would have, among other things, eliminated the citizenship component.
Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.
The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight, he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.
Oh my, the iron statues all have clay feet, don’t they. Even the indomitable Cruz.
Maybe it’s time for We The People to begin to live up to the duty implied by having our name at the top of the Constitution. Civics is too important to leave up to politicians.
