Related: About this forumRomney Buys 42 Taco Bells To Win Over Latino Voters
"I love all those little Mexicans who live in our country," said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as he announced his purchase of 42 Taco Bell franchises across the U.S.
"The multi-millionaire has been struggling to gain momentum among the large and influential Latino voter population since his May interview with FOX News when he advocated for the deportation of all Mexicans illegally in the country. "Someone breaks into one of your houses, you don't ask them to stay for Prime Rib and asparagus," Romney said at the time.

"A Republican spokesperson said this should lay to rest the reports about Romney's rigid stand on Mexican immigration. "Mitt and Ann are not prejudiced. All of their gardeners are Mexican," said Betsy Smith.
"The boys and their families love to make a night of it, gathering around eating Taco Bell stuff and watching Mexican Hockey League games on TV," said close family friend and former First Lady Barbara Bush by phone from Texas."
