Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted to block President Donald Trump's border national emergency declaration, has said there is a "real crisis" on the southern border.
"I hope people in both parties, as well as people across the country, realize there's a real crisis right now at our southern border. We are at a rate of about 1 million people a year trying to cross into the country," Romney said in a Facebook video posted in April. "These are folks we're not able to properly evaluate, investigate and to vet and as a result, we don't know exactly who they are and why they want to come here. It's a real security risk and it's overwhelming our systems, particularly in our border states. So, it's a crisis and we have to deal with this on an urgent basis."
Romney was asked why he voted to block the declaration if there is a currently a crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"There's a constitutional approach to providing for border fencing and I believe the president had access to the necessary billions of dollars to be able to provide that fencing and felt that the emergency declaration was unnecessary and was not consistent with constitutional principles," Romney said.
Wasn’t there a cartoon a few years ago that showed Romney talking out of three sides of his mouth?
These are all things that President Trump has said. He too, recognizes that it's such an "urgent" thing, something so important that it impacts our national security--and it does--that he labeled it an "emergency."
But Mitt, you're a Presidential loser, and a petty one to boot, so you voted against the President. Had you led the charge in Congress, maybe the President wouldn't have to declare such an emergency.
And He wonders why he was not elected.....he just another Obama.....FOOL...and Gutless.
Really. They really believed they could sell us Yeb!
But when Yeb! said “you can clap now”, we said, “you can f* off now”.
I’ll never forget the 10-people “rallies” Yeb! had, the empty seats in rooms that sat 20.
It was one of the most beautiful recurring images of the 2016 primary campaign.
Somebody PLEASE post the picture of Romney as a used car salesman with glinting diamond in his teeth!
I revoke the vote I cast for this a hole in 2012.
Teats off a boar hog would serve better in the Congress than Mittens. He’s a traitor to this nation and should be treated as such. If nothing else, totally shunned.
There is one and only one reason that Romney voted against declaring a national security crisis: hate of Trump. It’s the same thing he was doing to Trump in the 2016 elections, and continues to do today. It’s not about the constitution. It’s about hate of Trump and opposing him on everything. He’s Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton and the deep-state in republican stripes.
FUMR
Trump should simply Tweet, in response to these constant jabs:
“I wish Mitt would join me in MAGA. Unfortunately for Utah and America, he seems more interested in trying to Making Mitt Relevant Again. Put AMERICA first and join me Mitt!”
Without Trump in the race, Yeb! would have been the inevitable nominee just like McCain was in 2008.
In June of 2015 McCain was carrying his own bags, flying coach and had no money, by Mar. of 2016 he had the nomination sewn up.
The Idiot is trying to cover his tracks now that even the democrats are saying there is a crisis.
Romney is a citizen of the WORLD, don’t you know?
How do you explain a vote based on hate, and hostility that hurts American citizens?
Our phony from Pa, Pat Toomey, joined the goof.

(simple typo fixed)
They see illegals as slave labor. They are part of the cheap labor express. The LDS church supports open borders and illegal immigration.
Many of the members do NOT support open borders or illegal immigration, especially those that live on or near the border- but the church does.
The hate of Trump stems from Trump attempting to stop the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
Fundamentally transforming this country has been the life’s work of Bush League Republicans.
It’s all about keeping the border open and the laws unenforced until they can get that final amnesty.
I notice here that he uses the word fencing instead of the word wall. Something about that terminology, and the refusal to use the word wall is a clue as to which side he is on.
