2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI see that Mitt continues to lie and forgets Sep. 21, 2010.
http://www.freep.com/article/20120621/NEWS15/120621104/Romney-ll-tackle-immigration-civil-manner-LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Backing off the harsh rhetoric of the Republican primaries, Mitt Romney pledged today to address illegal immigration "in a civil but resolute manner." He outlined plans to overhaul the green card system for immigrants with families, and end immigration caps for their spouses and minor children.
In a speech before Hispanic leaders, Romney made only passing mention of his promise to complete a 2,000-mile border fence to help stem illegal immigration. Instead he attacked President Barack Obama's new plan to ease deportation rules for some illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children as little more than a "stop-gap measure."
"Despite his promises, President Obama has failed to address immigration reform," Romney said. "For two years, this president had huge majorities in the House and Senate he was free to pursue any policy he pleased. But he did nothing to advance a permanent fix for our broken immigration system. Nothing. Instead, he failed to act until facing a tough re-election and trying to secure your vote."
*****************************************
I guess he does recall that the House did pass the DREAM act and it was blocked in the Senate by the GOP on Sept. 21, 2010. Senate failed to break the filibuster by a 56-43 vote.
