Mitt Romney comes out against the word "amnesty" - 03/01/07

Glen Johnson of the Associated Press offers "Romney assails rivals on national issues". It quotes Mitt Romney as saying the following at a New Hampshire campaign stop: "I don't agree with [presumably McCain's stance on immigration]; I think it's the wrong course... I do not believe amnesty is the right course for the 11 or 12 million illegal immigrant who are living here.

Flash: Mitt Romney great-great grandson of polygamist! - 02/24/07

Breaking news from our "never trust a Mormon" department: presidential contender Mitt Romney is the great-great-grandson of a polygamist! This shocking news is burning up the wires: While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather had five wives and at least one of his great-great grandfathers had 12. Sure, he condemns it now, but what about then? America demands answers, and a consortium of liberals - l

Mitt Romney linked to Bush family; Jeb Bush encouraged to run for president - 02/16/07

From our "will we never learn/will the nightmare never end" department comes this: Jeb Bush, who hasn't publicly picked a favorite in the Republican presidential race, privately is talking up the candidacy of Mitt Romney and steering some of his closest advisers to the campaign. The former Florida governor has said repeatedly he won't be a candidate in 2008 despite encouragement from his father, the former president, and his brother, the current one

Mitt Romney asked semi-tough questions on immigration - 02/09/07

There are 3.5 candidates for president who support our immigration laws: Hunter, Tancredo, and Paul. The half-point is Mitt Romney, who has links to Bush and who may end up being as bad or nearly as bad as he is, or who might decide to do what's in America's best interests. Speaking about 20 miles from Marshalltown Iowa, he was asked about his position on immigration. Whatever the exact question, it was much too broad, and such broad questions result in broad answers.

Deval Patrick rescinds Mitt Romney's DHS partnership agreement - 01/12/07

Massachusetts' new governor, Deval Patrick, has shown himself to be a true Democrat by rescinding an agreement arranged by Mitt Romney with the feds that allowed state troopers to arrest illegal aliens. His alternate plan is to allow officials at two state prisons to determine the immigration status of prisoners and then somehow recommend them for deportation. They would probably need to do that through ICE or similar.

Deval Patrick to rescind Mass cooperation on illegal immigration with DHS - 12/22/06

Massachusetts governor-elect Deval Patrick is pledging to rescind Mitt Romney's order that would allow Mass state police to include the possibility that a suspect in another crime was an illegal alien in their investigations. This order would not allow police to detain people just suspected of being illegal aliens or performing similar functions. As previously discussed, Patrick appears to be little more than a robot pre-programmed with Dem talking points, and he uttered them in this case.

Howie Carr on Boston Globe's hypocrisy (Mitt Romney lawn care) - 12/04/06

From this: How do you turn a noble undocumented worker into a sinister, conniving illegal immigrant? You do it by hiring him to cut the lawn at Gov. Mitt Romney's house, or at least that's how the bow-tied bumkissers at The Boston Globe pulled it off. The phrase that is usually frowned upon by the Globe - illegal immigrants - was used 11 times in a front-page story Friday.

MIRA, DNC respond to Romney smear by supporting illegal immigration - 12/03/06

The Boston version of the National Enquirer informs us that it wasn't just Mitt Romney that contracted with "Community Lawn Service with a Heart", the landscaping service that apparently employed illegal aliens. It was also the city of Chelsea as well as the Massachusetts Port Authority. (A question: why didn't the three Boston Globe reporters stake out those locations?

Elizabeth Mehren/LAT misleads about Mitt Romney's lawn care - 12/03/06

[...shakes head, wonders whether William Randolph Hearst is still around...] Elizabeth Mehren of the Los Angeles Times offers "Workers a thorny issue for Romney": Massachusetts Gov.

Explosive Boston Globe on tiny company tending Mitt Romney's lawn - 12/01/06

Those who read all three screens of "Illegal immigrants toiled for governor" should constantly ask themselves, "cui bono?" Three Boston Globe "reporters" (Jonathan Saltzman, Maria Cramer, Connie Paige) spent months investigating the article that can now disclose that the gardening service that tended Mitt Romney's law may have employed illegal aliens: The situation underscores the extent to which illegal immigrants permeate the US economy.

Hugh Hewitt straw ballot excludes Tancredo - 04/17/06

Insty directs our attention to Hugh Hewitt, who's conducting a straw poll for the 2008 presidential race. The lucky choices are: George Allen Sam Brownback Bill Frist Rudy Giuliani Mike Huckabee John McCain Mitt Romney Isn't the omission of Rep. Tom Tancredo rather curious? Well, not if you know how the BushBot mind works.

Boston Globe: let illegal aliens take college scholarships from citizens - 12/21/05

Raphael Lewis offers a semi-tear jerker called "Aid they won not for them, undocumented students learn": Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey strode onto a Framingham High School stage Monday to give 148 seniors a special holiday gift: a letter from Governor Mitt Romney informing them that they have won four tuition-free years at the state's public colleges and universities. There was only one problem: School officials say that at least

Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly supports illegal immigration (Massachusetts) - 11/01/05

The AG of Massachusetts, Thomas Reilly, supports illegal aliens taking discounted college educations away from citizens and legal immigrants. Details in "Reilly backs immigrant tuition bill". His argument for this - and his candidacy - appear to be based solely around emotionalism.

Mitt Romney vetoed the legislation, known as the In-State Tuition Bill. This month, Rep. Marie St. Fleur, D-Suffolk, and Sen.

And ne'er a dissenting voice was heard - 09/01/04

So far, I'm only aware of two instances were anything related to immigration or similar matters has even been discussed at the GOP convention: 1. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in his speech: "[American workers are threatened by] low-cost, highly-skilled labor from abroad" 2. "[Kansas] Republican challenger Kris Kobach said Monday that Democratic Rep. Dennis Moore "placed American citizens at risk" by voting against a proposal to allow troops to patrol U.S. borders...
