Mitt Romney Watch: Romney HYPOCRITICAL on Illegal Immigration Sanctuary Cities
Republican presidential hopeful former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney stands in front of the fence separating the United States from Mexico while answering questions concerning his immigration policy during a visit Monday Aug. 13, 2007 in San Diego. Romney is flanked by campaign aide Tony Strickland, left, and Calif. State Senator Mark Wyland.
Last week Mitt Romney criticized Mayor Rudy Giuliani on the illegal immigration issue and the fact that New York City was a so-called “sanctuary city” during Rudy’s tenure as Mayor.
If you remember, Flap called Romney a HYPOCRITE for his outburst. And why?
1. Illegal Alien Guatemalans mowing his mansion grounds for ten years.
2. While Romney was governor, the commonwealth of Massachusetts became one of the six states with the largest growth in unauthorized migrant population, from 2002 to 2004, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, with somewhere between 200,000-250,000 new illegal immigrants.

3. In the past, Governor Romney supported more LIBERAL positions on illegal immigration than the 2007 recently failed Kennedy-McCain legislation. In fact, he supported President Bush and Senator McCain’s efforts to change current law in favor of “AMNESTY.â€
4. And here is Mitt Romney FLIP – FLOPPING on illegal immigration positions:

“Romney’s being a hypocrite on this issue,” said Joseph Curtatone, the Democratic mayor of Somerville since 2004. “I did not receive any mandate, any communication, anything at all from him about this. If it’s so important to him why didn’t he have the state police enforcing it?”
Curtatone, president of the Massachusetts Mayors Association, adds that his May 2006 declaration of Somerville as a “city of hope” committed to providing services to illegal immigrants was just official recognition of what exists everywhere in his state.
“I don’t know of any community in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — whether by official declaration or by their action — who has not adopted the same policy,” he said. I never heard Gov. Romney bring it up one way or another.”
So, is Romney flipping on sanctuary cities, or being dishonestly hypocritical AGAIN?
Mitt Romney = HYPOCRITE
Mitt Romney = WRONG for America

Mitt get off the California and Mexico border. You supported Amnesty and allowed sanctuary cities when it was expedient politically for you to do so.
Please do not embarass yourself any more.

Don’t forget the guy behind him, Tony Strickland, was pro-illegal immigration when he was in the Assembly. He voted for drivers licenses for illegals (right after 9-11 of all things), government ID cards for illegal aliens and to make us pay for their college tuition.
