Romney Attacks “Sanctuary Cities”

Isnt Hillary from New York?

Hmmmmm….. what exactly IS Jesus Salve?? Sounds kinky. Unexpected, this is, since you are obviously so closed minded.

Mayors and City Councils that issue so-called “Sanctuary City” orders and decrees to protect illegal aliens are creating anarchy and should be criminally charged with aiding and abetting crimials. In the case of Newark, New Jersey – that City Council and Mayor should be charged with criminal conspiracy that enabled the Triple Murder of those college students by the Illegal Alien. This happens all too often and it is because these rogue Mayors are illegally issuing so-called “Sanctuary City” decrees that encourage and demand that the cities harbor and support illegal alien criminals. ENOUGH!

Giuliani is for Amnesty. He said so again the other day on Fox. Romney is against Amnesty. He specifically says so in this new ad. So now I feel a lot better about Romney.
Amnesty killed McCain’s campaign and it will kill Giuliani’s too.
I now think Romney will beat Giuliani, largely based on the Amnesty issue.

ABC should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these comments to be printed. These comments are not discussing the article but instead spewing out hatefully rhetoric.

FAS…..your on a whole different dialogue. save it for when and if Clinton releases her income tax statement

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! The “immigration issue” is only blue smoke and mirrors for our real issues. Yea, just another way of trying to get fear in the public to control the vote and forget about the economy, the war in Iraq, our decaying infrastructure, our lower test scores, our decreasing health, our lack of alternate energy sources…. Yea, let’s blame an immigrant and then let’s spin it by saying it’s the liberals fault. But will this election rhetoric work?? Well, it has before. Can you say President Bush??? Best example of what preaching fear does for ya. And let’s do it again.

This is just like the Roe vs Wade crap. The repulicans used that to get elected. Then after they got control of the Whitehouse, the Congress and the Supreme Court, they didn’t do anything about it. WHY??? Because than the issue would go away and they wouldn’t have anything to run on.
Now the effectiveness of abortion has slowly disappeared.
Now they’re getting on the immigration wagon so as to replace the abortion issue. They won’t solve the problem here either because than the problem which they think will get them elected will go away and the reason to vote for ‘em will disappear.
So let’s really screw ‘em up and vote on important issues that really mater. Then we might get some real relevant dialog going.

Hillary Clinton is not from New York! She was born in Chicago in 1947 and spent the majority of her adult working life in Arkansas. I think this makes her a “carpetbagger!”

As for the cutting of federal funding to sanctuary cities that harbor illegals that broke our laws, I’m all for it. Why should the taxpayer shoulder the costs of thses people coming here. To those of you who deride the American citizen who is unfortunately poor and “obviously” the cause of all of our crime, shame on you. What has Mexico done for the world save give us the taco and burrito. It is high time that corrupt government provide and decent standard of living and opportunities as found here in the US. Accepting their poor unconditionally only condones what they do, export their poor who send billions back into their economy and furtheraggravates the problem. Those of you who support their poor coming here illegally only further the vicious cycle of poverty, corruption, and exploitation. Our economy will not collapse without them here. You can’t pay slave wages, have them live 9-10 in a house for 4-5, and say you are for their rights. I think it’s only so yoy can continue to live your own lifestyle, and probably outside of your means….. I’m all for legal immigration. If sanctuary cities and their citizens want to pay for the illegals to be their, let them pay it themselves. I want my contribution to taxes to go to hardworking, unfortunate, and/or honest law-abiding Americans!

Playing the Hate Card. It was played with regard to gay marriage in the last presidential election, and the Hate Card is being played again — but this time I’m afraid both parties will be shuffling and dealing.

I am a lifelong Democrat,but if any of the current Democratic Party candidates are elected they would just keep the illegal immigration flood gates open.I think that Mitt Romney has found the issue that will make him President. I will vote for my first Republican President ever if he will clean up this immigration mess.

To Roy: Hey Mr. Cut-and-Paste Wikipedia, you missed the 2nd half of the definition of Carpetbagger. If it makes you feel any better, maybe consider her a “Progressive Carpetbagger!” Either way she’s not a New Yorker and she is incapabale of leading this country. Look what’s done (or not done and maybe that’s a good thing) as a New York Senator. All I see is pandering to votes and comparing herself to Harriet Tubman. She won’t answer any hypothetical questions in these circus act Democrat debates. Life is not full of guarantees and the people deserve the right to know and the truth about what she would do in a given situation or scenario. Chicken! What a leader she’d make, sheesh. Oh wait that’s what she didn’t do in the Whitewater land deal case either, tell the truth……

What our Government conveniently ignores is the fact that 14th amendment does not in any way apply to illegal aliens, The intent of the 14th was to make citizens of the slaves along with their children.

I’M HISPANIC — EVERYTIME YOU SEE THESE PRO-IMMIGRATION RALLIES, IT’S ALL ILLEGALS AND HISPANICS SUPPORTING THEM AND STUPID LIBERAL WHITE PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW ANY BETTER. MY PEOPLE (MEXICANS) JUST MAKE ME SICK SOMETIMES. I AM VOTING FOR ROMNEY 100% EVEN THOUGH I’M A DEMOCRAT. I’M SICK OF US DEMOCRATS AND BLEEDING HEARTS CRYING FOR THESE PEOPLE. IF YOU LIKE THEM SO MUCH, PLEASE, PLEASE MOVE INTO THEIR DIRTY NEIGHBORHOODS AND PAY FOR ALL THEIR TAXES. WE’LL HAVE A VOTE, PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT THE ILLEGALS HERE DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE. PEOPLE WHO ARE CRYING WITH OPEN HEARTS, AGAIN, PLEASE FORK OUT THE LOOT, AND I MEAN A LOT OF IT, TO KEEP THEM ON THE GRAVY TRAIN!!!
AL SANCHEZ

Bigot

I agree with Mr. Sanchez, but am curious what solutions the pro-immigration people suggest regarding healthcare, education, and taxes. If amnesty is granted, are they suddenly going to be paying taxes? Are they going to be paying for their healthcare bill and for their children to go to school? Where are the solutions if these 12 million illegals are granted amnesty? If they become ‘legal’ all of a sudden, I don’t think they are going to like it as much as they think they will. It costs alot to live here legally!!

Thank you Al for your comments. It is a good thing coming from a Hispanic. Of course some fellow Hispanics may call you a racist now, too. The term has been so misused, overused, and abused it has now lost its meaning entirely.

these illegals hurt the Mexican-American citizens worse than any other group.

All the talk about illegals being the cause of the high crime rate is being answered in typical beaurocratic nonsense. Some official idiot said that the matter was moot because the rate of crime occurance was about equal between legal residents and illegals. Huh? Well so what?!! If the illegals were not there, then it follows that the crime rate would be half!!???

The math is interesting. If the crime rate is equal for the two cultures and the population ratio is about 25 to 1, then each illegal is 25 times more likely to committ a crime than the current population.

Good observation Norm. Those are facts many people (Like Bush, Chertoff, Gonzalez and most Dems) love to ignore.
From usillegalaliens.com – To give you an idea of “how much crime,” as noted in Illegal Alien Crime Wave in Full Swing, in April 2005, the GAO released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:
Of the 55,322 illegal aliens studied, researchers found that they were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien.
They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien.
49% had previously been convicted of a felony, 20% of a drug offense; 18% a violent offense, and 11%, other felony offenses.
81% of the arrests occurred after 1990
56% of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.
Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.
Note the last two points – they mean the perpetrators were “previously deported.” Regardless, ALL those crimes would have never happened, i.e. were preventable, with serious deportation of the illegal aliens already here and proper border security to prevent both entry and re-entry.
In reviewing those numbers, note that the study only sampled about 21% of the incarcerated illegal aliens. To get the full extent of the collateral damage, we need to extrapolate the average number of offenses out across all 267,000 incarcerated illegal alien criminals. Doing so results in some 1,288,619 crimes!
Don’t the MSM and illegal alien supporters continually tell us that illegal immigration is a “victimless crime” and that they are only here to do the work Americans don’t want to do? Since each crime has a victim, 1,288,619 sounds like a lot of victimization to me. Maybe they are also referring to doing the “work” that American criminals don’t want to do. Also keep in mind that the 1,288,619 crimes are only the ones committed by the hard core illegal alien criminals that were finally caught and incarcerated. The ones not caught and the new criminals crossing daily are committing more crime each and every day.

Salt Lake City, UT is a Mormon town & a welcoming city for illegals. Check it out. Mitt is a Mormon.
Of course, Guiliani, Clinton loves illegals and caters to them. If you vote for them, they will sell America to the illegal aliens especially Clinton. Getting big support from the Indians (India). What an idiot.

If Salt Lake City,UT is receptive to the illegals and Romney adheres to existing immigration laws, it demonstrates that he is an independent thinker and not bound to his culture.

My hearts go to the family, but it’s wrong for New Jersey blames all the immigrants on this one and now in control off congress on this one crime by 1-2 immigrants who did this but now all immigrant are to blame for NJ, because they where Latin now 1 crime is blame on just one culture. New Jersey crimes has been a problem, based on Americans killing Americans black or white also commit most those crimes, but now since the killing was none American the laws are going to blame all immigrants on this one crime, so let me ask it’s ok for Americans to kill Americans in NJ. Or is the case because that the culture who did it makes a difference to the community. And now NJ can lead congress and control the white house and control the democrat and republicans on this one? Because they were immigrants who did this crime makes a difference in our society come on American oh I forgot most Americans hate and are raised to hate on illegal immigrants, is this one in the bible who can ruler and hate others? Is it in the bible to pick on one culture is this called Christian teaching in our society in America. NJ have many crimes not based on immigrants in the past, but on American killing Americans just like ever day in Michigan and New Your and Chicago and Atlanta, most high crimes states and they are committed by American people and no one makes a big deal as to this as in NJ makes no sense but to hurt our culture more and more let alone it been targeted for many years and hated on by to many in USA from all the none believers who call them selves Christians who are nothing more then a bunch of Hitler’s if you ask me hating on one culture just as religion. There are many fundamentalist on the news every day from CNN like Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty news room and they are the back burners that’s why they have that job to lead the nation and they have no faith as Christians when they can not love they neighbor or forgive, but Hispanic citizen already have to try harder now this

I’ve seen a few things to comment on here.
1. Actually, SLC is a very liberal city (just look up Mayor Rocky Anderson), and less Mormon than the rest of Utah (I think SLC proper is now only like 25% Mormon). And Mitt is not from Utah, so no culture to adhere to – just a religion. Also, Sen. Hatch isn’t running for POTUS, so why would Mitt attack him instead of Rudy (I think he is, actually, in this ad, rebutting what Hatch has put up on illegals & in-state tuition, which I also disagree with).
2. Those that think Mitt is ignoring other issues need to look at his web site for all of the policies he’s put forward on all other issues. He’s done MUCH more than any other candidate on all the other domestic & foreign issues in this election, and they’re all sound policies. Immigration is just the latest, but he DOES NOT ignore the other issues (watch some of the “Ask Mitt Anything” videos too).
3. I agree with Mitt that LEGAL immigration is a good thing, but sanctuary city’s need to be punished for effectively breaking federal law. He has said that he would first work to secure the boarder. Then enforce the current laws about employing an illegal so that the self-migration turns around (can’t get a job, so they go back on their own).
What I’d like to hear from Mitt for the future is that (and how he would do it) the process for legal immigration, not a special path for those already here illegally, would be simplified & streamlined to make it easier/quicker/less-expensive/more-secure to come here legally (as a temp worker, permanent resident, etc.).
We don’t need a special path for current illegals, we need a simpler path for all who want to come & contribute. And then let the current illegals follow that same, simplified path along with everyone else that wants to come. It would also be more secure because we’d know better who’s coming & going.

Dear Gloria we don’t hate the illegals. We just want them to not break our laws. We would like them to become temporary workers, high tech and otherwise, beome citizens by due process, and join any religion they choose or not. Especially those who want to be criminals we wish would stay home, we have enough of that kind already.

That’s funny. Rmoney was not concerned with sanctuary cities while Governor of Massachusetts. I guess he was just too busy mismanaging the big dig.
