Romney wants to do to the Irish what he wants to do to the Latino undocumented immigrants –

Send them all back via self deportation

Remember those E-3 visas for the Irish in Massachusetts? We know that Sen. Scott Brown took out the provisions for the Irish undocumented immigrants, while Senator Charles E. Schumer chose to keep the provisions in the E-3 visa bill.

Guess who primarily blocked the issue for the Irish the same way they try to block it for Mexican-Americans, the Asians and the rest of the undocumented living here in the United States? Tea Party Republicans are primarily held responsible for blocking the E-3 visa bill for the Irish and this affects many of them who are living in the shadows of society in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and etc.

The immigration issue is not just a “Latin” thing … it affects the Irish, the Canadians, the Europeans and the rest of the undocumented immigrants who are here from other parts of the world. We need to handle the immigration issue in a reasonable manner, and Mitt Romney is for sending all of them back via Kris Kobach’s self deportation idea that doesn’t stand a chance. In fact, Romney was endorsed by Kris Kobach (of ALEC fame) who is the legal architect behind most of these anti-immigrant ideas. Bottom line: Romney is not for reasonable legal immigration reform.

It is imperative the people of Massachusetts remembers Mitt Romney’s stance against the undocumented immigrants — and that includes the Irish in the northeastern part of the United States. Mitt Romney is in bed with Kris Kobach, Pete Wilson, Joe Arpaio and several isolationist and restrictionist Republicans. He cannot be trusted on the immigration issue.

Hadn't realized that those teabaggers were after the Irish in addition to Hispanics.
