Mitt Romney was conservative until he wasn’t. He was against amnesty before he was for it. Mitt Romney is whoever you want him to be until it’s too late to vote him out. According to Politico,”I’m also more of a hawk on immigration than even the president,” Romney said, according to The Daily Herald. “My view was these DACA kids shouldn’t all be allowed to stay in the country legally.” That’s 2018 Romney, but what about 2012 Romney, that was running against Barack Obama?
“The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa, should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. I’m not going to take something that they’ve purchased,” Romney told The Denver Post in 2012. That’s funny because he told Spanish language Univision that he was in favor of amnesty in 2014.
Funnier still, when he was running for the nomination in both 2008 and 2012, Romney was in favor of “self-deportation”, and tough immigration laws that made illegals go home on their own. In case you were going to watch a stock ticker just to keep track of his positions, here’s the pattern: Romney gets his mind right just long enough to win a nomination, then reverses himself when it’s convenient. Utah needs to know that before they send him to Washington.
