Romney knows all about firing desperate people.

So, it's not that you were showing your integrity and holding on to your beliefs, it's that you didn't want to lose your power. If you were an ordinary person, what would you try to get away with? What are you getting away with now?

He should've said, "I'm running for office for Pete's sake! I can't agree with this extreme right wing bull shit"

[Stefan Unson]

So, he admitted that he's the ROOT of the problem. He should have hired the show Ask This Old House to do it for him and see how he lives...

haha. you lost, Willard.

Go wipe your tears with 100 dollar bills you bitch ass bitch.

At least he was nice enough to help those people when it wasn't an issue.

[ruffzspree]

but if he weren't running for office it would be ok! lolol

Despicable how republican politicans, pundits, anchors, and radio personalities, dehumanize them as "illegals"

Which is the unethical law in this case?

"One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all.'"- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Throughout history we've seen laws that were immoral/unethical. Saying that something is a law doesn't mean anyone should feel obligated to obey it.

If you're white, then you're here illegally. Technically, all Mexicans are a part of this land. They've lived on it for over 10,000 yrs. Of course, the fact that white people are here doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that they left their country and entered mine without taking the time to first get citizenship in any of the Indigenous American nations that were already here. We're willing to tolerate your presence, but no one has reason to care whether you think they should leave.

He DID hire them.

Later, he fired them, once he realized that they could cause trouble for

his campaign. The point, you idiot, is that only political expedience caused

him to fire them. He's "running for office, for pete's sake."
