Romney: I'm 'more of a hawk on immigration' than Trump

[oberliner]

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has launched a bid to represent Utah in the U.S. Senate, said he's "more of a hawk on immigration" than President Donald Trump, citing his opposition to an Obama-era initiative that offered protections for young undocumented immigrants.

Romney, who ran for the presidency in 2012 but was defeated by former President Barack Obama, touted his conservative credentials during an event on Monday in Provo, Utah, according to local media.

The former GOP nominee also described himself as a "deficit hawk," a stance he said makes him "more conservative than a lot of Republicans and a lot of Democrats."

Romney added that his Republican bona fides extended to the ongoing debate over immigration, pointing to the fact that on the 2012 campaign trail he opposed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program rescinded by Trump last year.

"I’m also more of a hawk on immigration than even the president," Romney said, according to The Daily Herald.

1. Mitt has forgotten about the lawn crew he used before running for POTUS.

4. Mitt's forgotton that his own father, born in Mexico, was brought to US at age 5

Mitt's great-grandfather moved the Romney family to Mexico after polygamy became illegal in US, but after Mexican revolution, Mitt's grandparents came back to US bringing Mitt's 5 year old father to US.

He is a phony jerk, and definitely not a leader.

Which way is the wind blowing Mittens

8. Yes, exactly

I think it's important to remember that even after we rid ourselves of Trump we still have all the other awful Republicans to deal with. And let's not forget just how awful they are (even the supposedly "reasonable" ones).
