Romney's statement

[JuliefromOhio]

Here’s Mitt Romney’s full statement:

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. 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, just a short-term matter — it can be reversed by subsequent presidents. I’d like to see legislation that deals with this issue, and I happen to agree with Marco Rubio as he looked at this issue. He said that this is an important matter, that we have to find a long-term solution, but that the president’s action makes reaching a long-term solution more difficult. If I’m president, we’ll do our very best to have that kind of long-term solution that provides certainty and clarity for the people who come into this country through no fault of their own by virtue of the action of their parents.”

Remember this?

Mitt Romney seized the chance to outflank Perry on the right, endorsing a fence along the Mexican border that Perry has called unrealistic.

“Of course we build a fence and of course we don’t give in-state tuition credits to people who have come here illegally,” he said.

So in other words if romoney becomes president he'll reverse President Obama's executive order...of course, for the good of the latino youths...LOLOLOL He really thinks they're that stupid.

So can Mitt tell us how long Congress has been debating this and other immigration issues? If they're going to take forever, why not give more time to those who are affected by it? How much more difficult can coming to terms and decisions be than it already has been?

Where in the world have Mitt and Friends been in the last 5 years....lost in the ozone? They seem to think there was nothing wrong with the economy that Obama inherited and Obama is going to do something bad to it (as if nothing bad had already been done) Now Mitt seems to think what has taken Congress a long time to come to terms with ( a comprehensive and updated immigration law and policy) has not already been difficult to thing to reach a long term solution for, but has suddenly become so because of Obama's action.

One thing you can say for Mitt Romney -- he's consistent...

Every time he opens his mouth a lie comes out.

That is NOT Marco Rubio's position on this issue (that Mitt said he agrees with). He is saying he would do it the correct way, via legislation - not executive diktat...

So, for Romoney to do it the 'right' way [he sez] he will reverse President Obama's executive order, right? Which of course is Romoney's piss poor response. If that's the best he's got he shouldn't have said anything. LOL

I stand by my post.

A classic Willard Waffle.

I wish we had real reporters who would ask Willard..."You note in your statement that one problem with an executive order is that a future president can reverse it. If you are elected president this fall, will you reverse it?"
