Romney Won‘t Say He’ll Overturn Immigration Order

Romney Wont Say Hell Overturn Obama Immigration Order

Mitt Romney and Bob Schieffer in Lebanon, Penn., on June 16. (CBS News/CHRIS USHER)

BRUNSWICK, Ohio (The Blaze/AP) — Mitt Romney is refusing to say that he would overturn President Barack Obama’s new policy allowing some young illegal immigrants to stay in the United States.

The Republican presidential candidate was asked three times in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether he would overturn the executive order issued Friday if he’s elected in the fall. He refused to directly answer.

“It would be overtaken by events,” Romney said when pressed for the second time by moderator Bob Schieffer during the interview taped Saturday while the former Massachusetts governor’s bus tour stopped in Pennsylvania.

He explained the order would become irrelevant “by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution, with legislation which creates law that relates to these individuals such that they know what their setting is going to be, not just for the term of a president but on a permanent basis.”

Romney’s Rust Belt tour swept through Ohio on Sunday. He attended a Father’s Day pancake breakfast with two of his sons and five of his 18 grandchildren. He told a rain-soaked crowd that the weather was a metaphor for the country and that “three and half years of dark clouds are about to part.”

He planned two additional stops in the state Sunday.

In the TV interview, Romney suggested that Obama’s decision on immigration was motivated by politics. “If he felt seriously about this he should have taken action when he had a Democrat House and Senate, but he didn’t. He saves these sort of things until four and a half months before the general election,” he said.

Obama adviser David Plouffe, sent by the White House to four of the talk shows, contended that Obama’s action, which appeals to Hispanic voters who are critical to the president’s re-election effort, was not “a political move.”

Obama’s order has put Romney in the difficult position, forcing him to decide between possibly alienating Hispanic voters with tough talk or stoking anger within a conservative GOP base that was slow to warm to him during the primary process.

Romney’s comments represent a further softening of his rhetoric on immigration since the GOP primary campaign ended.

For example, before the Iowa caucuses in January, when he faced the challenge of winning over the right-wing base of the GOP, he pledged to veto legislation backed by Democrats that would have created a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Instead of emphasizing the plight of illegal immigrants, Romney focused on the consequences illegal immigration has for U.S. jobs.

Obama‘s immigration announcement disrupted the start of Romney’s five-day bus tour through small cities and towns in six important states.

The tour, now on its third day, scheduled two stops are in Ohio towns just outside the metropolitan areas of Cleveland and Columbus. Romney spent the first two days in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, where he assailed Obama and insisted that he’s the candidate who will give middle-class Americans “a fair shot.”

The Obama administration said the policy change announced Friday will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. Obama‘s move bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the Democrats’ long-stalled legislation aimed at young illegal immigrants who went to college or served in the military.

Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be able to avoid deportation if they can prove they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED diploma or certificate, or served in the military. They also can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed.

Romney’s CBS interview was his first in more than a year with a Sunday talk show on a network other than Fox. It covered a range of topics, including health care, Romney’s political future and the European financial crisis.

Romney said that the American banking sector “is able to weather the storm” in Europe. He said European countries are capable of dealing with their mess “if they choose to do so” and the U.S. doesn’t want to get into the business of bailing out foreign banks. Romney also does not favor another round of economic stimulus by the Federal Reserve, saying a previous one didn’t have the desired effect.

The former Massachusetts governor, whose health care plan for the state served as the model for the national health reform law, outlined steps he’d take if the Supreme Court strikes it down. On Iran, Romney said he would be willing to “take military action if necessary” to prevent the country from becoming a nuclear power.

Romney also insisted that he isn’t worried about his own political future. “I don’t have a political career,” Romney said. “I spent my life in the private sector. I don’t care about re-elections.”

Schieffer asked, “So you’re not saying you just intend to serve one term?”

Romney replied that for him “this is not about politics. This is not about did I win this or did they win this. This is about what can we do to get America right.”

    Here’s something that nobody is talking about. The GOP delegates are sueing the Republican party over forcing the delegates to support Romney through coercion.

    I can’t figure out why the right-wing, main stream press hasn’t picked up on this. Where are you, Blaze? Fox News?

      If they don’t want to play by the rules of their respective state, they should resign as a delegate. The matter of bound / unbound is complicated and only fools pretend to know it all. I don’t know state rules but do know some states award (bind) delegates based on cong. zoning, some by %, some fully commit based on total %.

      A quote below from your WND article shows procedures exist…fact. Read and you can see plaintiffs don’t want leeway they want exemption from the existing procedures and site the racketeering as a distraction.

      “The courts have typically allowed political parties leeway in the nomination of their candidates, but this case asks the court to consider the choice of presidential nominee a “federal election,” subject to laws that would free delegates from party procedures to vote their conscience.

      FYI – Sates run all elections. What you have are a bunch of panty waisted anarchists that have regulations within their state that has them bound to vote for a certain nominee…based on the states’ rules. They are using a federal law to usurp that process and call it “coercion”.

      This has been a joke and anarchist Libertarians are trying to co-opt/destroy the GOP as it stands rather than build a legitimate coalition (epic fail). To your question as to why the right wing main stream media has not picked up on this is simple…it’s bull$hi+.

He has supported gay marriage, abortion. gun control. the patriot act..big government and is a usurper of freedom.

    It doesn‘t really matter who’s in the white house because our economy is so screwed up by the idiots in D.C we can’t recover.If we ever get to true capitalism instead of crony capitalism and slash spending by the trillions we might have a chance of getting out of the hole.

      Your nuts. PROGRESSIVESLAYER is absolutely correct. Crony Capitalism has ruined this country. It has been taught and people like you believe that crony capitalism is true capitalism. True capitalism of rise and fall, make it or break by natural laws it is not what we have. What we have is the Government controlling winners and losers. Giving our money to those they feel will make it and continually throwing money at them is not natural capitalism. GM should have failed through natural order. But it didn’t because Government intervened. If GM failed another company would have room to rise and become great. Not now. Now we are stuck with shoddy union thuggery items and told we don’t know whats good for us.

      The only good kind of capitalism is free market capitalism – where people are free to buy/sell what they want to and their money is not devalued or manipulated through interest rates. We will never again have free market capitalism until the power is rested away from the FED as well as their power over the monetary supply and interest rates. Who do you pushed the interest rates so low and backstoped the banks with their risky mortage CDO’s??? The Fed and the government. We would have NEVER had the housing bubble (and crash) if it werent for their market interference.

      Its time to get real – we are not free and neither is our economy

This article should help open some peoples eyes to the fact that Romney is not going to be different than Obama. He is a big government progressive who will follow the croni-capatalistic system that has bought and paid for his campaign. He says he wants to repeal Obamacare, which was modeled after his own in MA, then he says he wants to change it so it is better. How is he going to make an Obamanation better than his Romination in MA? Let’s all get real here. If people want real change, back to the Constitution, there is only one candidate that will fight for it.

    Pass Rubio’s law and this would be a mute point. Got into an argument with my brother earlier today since he wants all illegals deported saying that foreigners are trying to do subversive warfare by infiltrating our country. I had to argue back that the numbers, though high, won’t ever be enough for that. Besides, many of these kids may not even know how to speak their native tongue proper. Who really knows, but these kids did not enter the U.S. by choice. Give them blanket amnesty? Absolutely not, but they probably already have jobs already and again, some have already been here for a couple of decades so if any have done criminal acts, they would already have been outed. Again, just pass the law but don’t be dictator like BO. Not the dream act; don’t believe in giving free scholarships to the children of illegals for the sake of them being illegals. If illegals earned the scholarship by merit, then I have no beef with that. As for citizenship, they will have to wait in line I say like most immigrants have too, but I have to disagree with kicking this fractional group of illegals out. I would guess that there probably are, at most, 3 to 5 million (I don’t buy the governments stats of 800K for a minute) and they probably have jobs already.

      2. Border Crossings have to drop from 300,000 to under 30,000 a year.

      Alternatively, Mexico & the U.S could hold plebiscites & become one nation. It would have to be under American law with the bill of rights. Mexico could become the 51st thru 57th states. We could have 14 new Hispanic Senators. We could watch Jesse Jackson go waah, waah , waah all the way to Chicago. All that beach front in Baja California could support a building boom & employ everyone. For course we would have all sorts of problems but we have those already. All the sudden the FBI would have jurisdiction to go after the cartel south of the border.

      But the way to do it is straight up. Via the law. Via votes. Some people want a North American Union now. But they want to do it by not upholding the law. By underfunding & under manning the border. It really tells you that they don’t like the current laws. They want to fundamentally change them.

I will not cast a vote for the “lesser of two evils”; Since Republicans have put me in that position, they do not deserve my vote and I will not cast a vote for which I am sure to have “buyer’s remorse”.

      Romney’s admission that he “agrees with the sentiment” of Obama’s policy on Illegal aliens just “not the method” and “wants a permanent rather than a temporary solution” tells me that he too will do the same thing without first controlling the borders. That means that the problem will continue just as it has since Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens under the promise by congress to control the borders… that was 26 years ago and it hasn’t happened yet. Throw in that Romney seems to change positions with each constituency, leadership in Congress with no backbone, and I’m simply not supporting any of them. I’ll vote straight Libertarian.

We have always said that the federal government should not do any of these things and that those are issues for the states. I have said many times that true liberty means the ablity to move out of your state to another if you do not like the laws of your state. If the federal government makes an all state blanket law, you cannot move anywhere within the U.S. to get away from it. I am not sure what point you are trying to make, unless it is the federal law on each citizen being able to vote their conscience, but again, this should show everyone the dangers of too many federal laws, as they do override state law.

      I believe it to mean that the federal government should stay out of the business of making blanket laws and leave the laws to the states where the people who live in that state have the power to determine their state laws. Of course, federal law trumps state law, so state laws have to also be constitutional. That is where federal law (the Constitution) overrides an unconstitutional state law. But we have allowed the federal government to write so many laws, “We The People” do not have much say so anymore.

      My point is I hear a lot of folks talk about the 1st and 2nd amendment, sometimes the 14th. I never hear about the 10th and what the states role is with respect to the 10th. Governors have to push back, and they do have some power; conservatives have a strong coalition on that front. I know you know this, but look at an electoral map. Carve out conservative congressional districts and square miles and there is a lot of power there in my opinion. POTUS aside, pressure needs to be put on governors. Walker is a hero it seems and a few more of those with the right backing, who could be influenced more…Obama or Romney. That’s how I look at it. If Romney doesn’t deliver then impeach or vote him out in 2016 but get the ground work laid now. My #1 concern outside of anything else is SCOTUS…I’ll cast my vote for that alone and Romney will NOT be allowed to nominate a liberal…that I’m sure of. We already know what POTUS will do. The rinos will buckle to Obama on a typical back door deal so yeah…I agree with you on those things.

      InLightof Things, I understand your concerns, I have concerns about the SCOTUS myself, but I know that the best candidates for SCOTUS is from Ron Paul! He would not reccomend anyone for Supreme Court Justice that did not have a strong Constitutional philosophy. You know, I would rather have a Democrat Justice that truly believes in the Constitution, than any Conservative progressive thinker. Think hard about that, as progressives can be liberal, and progressives can be somewhat conservative, but they both believe that the answer to everyones problem is solved through government intervention, one way or the other (socialism vs. fascism).

      Things are going forward in the federal lawsuit, and it looks like we are going to follow up with a RICO federal lawsuit against the RNC, and it looks like we will win all. Do you want to continue to be on the side of a candidate, that is an establishment pick, that the campaign around him are committing election/voter fraud, that WILL be exposed, and be shown to be the same candidate they have illegally put in for decades, or do you want to be with the candidate that IS going to win the nomination and save our Republic, not through just himself, but through the grassroots movement that he inspired?

      InLight, You are still talking like there is no other choice than Romney and Obama. That is completely untrue and disingenuous. Many in the establishment GOP are going to face RICO charges against them. What are you going to think then? I believe Ron Paul is going to win the GOP nomination in Tampa on the first round. All of you say, well at least Romney is not a commie, but Romney said he was for the NDAA as signed by Obama, as we need these tyoe of laws in place to keep the citizens safe, safe from what? Ben Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential liberties for the purchase of temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” This is a true saying. Communists like Obama are for this, how is Romney any different than a Commusnist if he is for the same type of laws Communists are for? The GOP is no different than the DNC and it will be shown in the lawsuit.

    His answers to the repeated question were just right. He made it clear that he felt that the Prez had squandered opportunities to pass legislation through Congress to force his agenda before deciding to “legislate” from the oval office. To say outright that he would countermand the order would not serve him well in attracting the Latino vote, so I think he phrased things well. Nice try, Shieffer – you flaming liberal, you.

They have betrayed the American people to institute an old hippie agenda. These people have lived a lie and believed their own lies to the point they cannot turn back. They know they are in their deathbed throes and will thrash all around them for something to latch onto and take to hell with them. They need to be impeached. The timing is just not right for that as some will see it as an election ploy, but they are counting on people waiting to act. They are evil. They will use any means to stay in the White House. I believe if they do succeed they will be impeached. Those wanting to begin impeachment proceedings should be lining this up and getting their evidence together for it may be necessary for this Republic to survive. These people who are trying to destroy our way of life instead of building upon it are being used by powers and principalities even they do not understand.

    It’s Deja Vu all over again (May 1997 article categorizing the devastating effects of the 1986 Simpson Mazzoli Act amnesty):

    ———————–
    “Since the legalization, the pool of illegal immigrants in the country has continued to grow and now exceeds five million; the INS estimates that 420,000 new long-term illegal aliens arrive each year. The churches remain the most outspoken interest group now demanding a new amnesty. So far Congress and the Executive have shown little warmth toward the idea. This new realism is encouraging.

    In the debates leading up to the 1986 IRCA, a sizable minority in Congress opposed any amnesty until the border was under control. They were overridden. The results were that the amnesty gave legal status to some 300,000 to 400,000 who had entered the U.S. illegally and claimed it fraudulently.

    With weak border controls, legalization itself became a magnet for additional family reunifications, some of them encouraged by the more secure legal status of the anchor immigrant. Others came, and still come, because they saw the amnesty as a precedent and were convinced that the United States will eventually do it again.”
