I don't appreciate the media so willingly cooperating with the repugnant Romney plan to Etch-a-Sketch all the campaign promises he made during the debates and primaries. Romney HAS an immigration policy. He has clearly told us what he wants to do and thinks the country should do in regard to immigrants in this country that entered illegally. He has said repeatedly he wants to make life such hell for immigrants here that they will deport themselves -- all 12-14 million of them. He said he sees no way around the fact that eventually every one of them must go back to Mexico or their country of origin and apply for citizenship from there. He has scathingly attacked Perry for offering children of illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates. He doesn't want to help them in any way. He said it only encourages the criminals. The goal is to make them suffer abysmally, so much that they deport themselves, as in Arizona and other anti-Hispanic southern states. Romney has repeatedly praised to high heaven the mean-spirited Arizona immigration policies and has consulting his campaign the architect of Arizona's bigoted laws. Romney has repeatedly said he would veto the Dream Act and yet media members act addled and say, "What will Romney's position be?" Didn't the media cover the debates and read his interviews and take notes at his campaign stops? Romney doesn't get a do-over on immigration. He has to defend the many clearly defined positions he has taken on the matter. His overall position is as it has always been (at least this election cycle): crack down hard on all defacto Americans that entered the country illegally. Make life so brutal and painful that they will go back to Mexico on their own, even if they fear they won't be able to feed their family there.

If Plastic Man changed to a new immigration plan that would be another Flip Flop! and would truely be looked at as a political move!

Obama's lawless temporary fix that ignores our Constitution has made things worse. Marco Rubio was working with Democrats for a permanent solution but Obama changed all that for his personal reelection political reasons.

Economically how will the influx of an extra million workers effect the Latino communities? The unemployment rate is already much higher in the Latino communties. Shouldn't Obama start focusing on the economy?

Obama continues to create confusion and division. Romney and Marco Rubio are working on a permanent solution within the U.S. law as soon as the election is over. How much clearer should Romney's statement be? Of course Obama's spin is loud and clear.

Romney has a immigration plan. Self Deport!

The Republicans fail to understand that immigration is an economic issue to business leaders across America. If businesses do not have access to the labor that they need, it hurts the bottom line and impedes expansion and growth.
Also, immigrants are consumers and business leaders do not support policies that make their customers leave/flee.

Romney is stuck in a corner! If he changes his current immigration plan "Self Deport" he would have to flip flop and that would not go over well with the right wing conservatives who don't like him that much anyhow!

romney also needs a plan to connect with everyday americans, an economic plan, a healthcare plan, a defense plan, a tax plan, etc. romney can't simply run on "i am not obama" platform, because the president is well liked. despite the noise from the FAR right, obama enjoys a good favorability rating. this is shaping up to be 2004, but not as close given obama's polling with independents in swing states. romney suffers from guiliani-ism in that the more you get to know him, the less you like him. if the romney campaign thinks pawlenty appeals to independents and other groups, he's in for a rude awakening. pawlenty couldn't deliver romney in the minnesota caucuses, how's he going to do it on a national stage?
