Mitt, the president doesn't set immigration policy, the congress does. Nothing wrong with rescinding an illegal act.

This could be the gamechanger for the Hispanic/Latino vote.

I just love to hear the Pander Bear sing the Cheap Suit Serenade.
Reason 105 why Romney is not up 20 points.

Well now that Obama has already given them the illegal visa's it wouldn't be right for Romney to take them away. Hey AP, What about Romney issuing new ones? Oh you didn't ask the real question did you?

This can wait. Not necessary to start stomping around about this right now.

(hit submit too soon)

The executive order can be rescinded. Those who have already received work permits (and these are just two year visas) will not lose them until the end of the two years. Then?

Work permits, fine...voting, welfare etc. NO!

Those illegals already will have their two year work permits by the time Romney would be elected, and the time would be clicking down on them. It would just cause more chaos if Romney were to reverse Obama giving out those work permits. What Romney will do if elected is to propose what amounts to a congressionally passed amnesty for those young illegal aliens that allows them to stay here temporarily, in increments of time, until they find a legal way to become permanent resident aliens in their own right, and would not support any permanent general amnesty for them that would end up with them being duel-nationals, that is keeping their home country citizenship while also granting them US citizenship and US voting rights.

That is very important, because there are realistically 20 million illegal aliens here now who Obama would grant a permanent amnesty, putting them all on a path to US citizenship and US voting rights. If that were to happen, the liberal Democrats would eventually end up with tens of millions of new voters, as most illegal aliens are poor low wage earners, are generally uneducated people, who once legalized would use all forms of government assistance that the liberal Democrats would make available to them in return for their votes.

Also once they were given US citizenship status by an Obama Liberal Democrat amnesty, those million of aliens could freely bring another ten to twenty million of their foreign relatives, including their elderly parents, into the USA. Once all that occurred the Republicans would never be able to have enough votes to elect another US President.

On the illegal Alien issue, once Romney's in office I suggest he follow in the steps of Eisenhower in solving the problem. Worked then, it will work now.

A wise move by Romney.

Because we know who they are now, and we can keep an eye on them, and their tapping the public dole.

It's a PERMIT. You can rescind a PERMIT.

Importantly Romney never said that he would extend those Obama work permits beyond the two year period if the Congress does not pass an exception to the current immigration laws to benefit the illegal aliens who have been granted Obama work permits.

Romney is not exactly putting out conservative ideals.
As for me I'm getting more and more of a bitter taste in my mouth

Agree with #10. Wise move.

A lot of Democrats and Republicans in the Congress want to legalize a lot of those illegal aliens who were brought here as children.

The difference is the Democrats what to put them on a "path to citizenship" which is Democrat code for eventually granting them US voting rights; and the Republicans want to give them a temporary immigration status without a "path to citizenship" and US voting rights, that gives them a chance to qualify for permanent residence in their own right as every legal immigrant must now do, or eventually go back to their home country.

The reason for that is the vast majority of illegal aliens, when legalized, have become liberal Democrat voters in the past. The Republicans can no longer allow such liberal Democrat written general amnesties to pass or they would be committing long-term political suicide, by facilitating millions of new foreign born voters for the liberal Democrats, who in their vast numbers, would change the political balance of the US electorate.
