Romney Waffles On Immigration Again

"SNIP.................................................

It looks like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will have to wait a bit longer for his answer from Romney on immigration.

Previewing the presumed GOP nominee’s speech before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials today, Salon’s Steve Kornacki explained: “Mitt Romney has three basic choices for the speech he will deliver to a conference of Latino leaders later today: He can break with his practice of never agreeing with President Obama on anything, ever; he can continue it and plant himself even more firmly on the right; or he can keep looking like a slippery politician who’s trying to have it both ways.”

Romney, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided to go with the slippery approach. In his remarks, Romney did not budge from the non-position he took Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” where he refused to say if he would overturn President Obama’s new deportation policy while he sought to implement a more permanent legislation. “Some people have asked if I will let stand the president’s executive action. The answer is that I will put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the president’s temporary measure,” he said, apparently hoping to confuse you into thinking the second sentence answers the question raised by the first. Overhauling the nation’s immigration system will take a lot of time, if it happens at all, under a Romney administration, so what he will do in the meantime he wouldn’t say.

And while we got some details on what Romney would do to strengthen legal immigration – “we will staple a Green Card to the diploma of someone who gets an advanced degree in this country” — we got nothing new on what Romney would do to address illegal immigration.

2. You know it!

3. Romney can just say whatever he wants, tailored to the audience at that moment

The media will simply let him be all opinions at once as they've been doing.

Consider his approach on "Obamacare." The GOP and allies have spent millions to make uninformed people hate it. Romney constantly rails against it, and then in the next breath he rattles off large tenets of "Obamacare" that he would want reinstated in his new law.
