Hillary topped Romney up by saying she speaks Spanish with a Jewish accent.

Wait until the Cubans in south Florida find out they are going to have to share their homes with all the illegals Obama & Hillary are going to give free meal/citizenship cards to. Why is it the DNC won't even allow the immigration question to be asked during exit polls?

I find Spanish language ads promoting Republican candidates who rail against illegal immigrants both hypocritical and hilarious !!!

Can you say pander Romney. I am surprised that the son did not end up saying "Cuba si Castro no" It's required by all Republican canidates throughout the years, and amazingly a big majority of Cubans, fawn over them like they are liberators. News flash! Republicans just want your vote. I am a Cuban American who endured that garbage and banana republic local Miami politics for 40 years.

I am a landscaper for a very wealthy gentleman in Orange County, California. He has 5 acres of land and a large house and several fine cars. He told me he made most of his money in the stock market. recently he told me he recently pulled most of his money out of the market because we were headed for a large stock market correction. It appears he was correct. He said he sold almost every stock he owned except for one company called AVASOFT (AVAF)

He told me to put some of my money in this company, helped me open up a stock account and so far it is doing great. Maybe one day I can attain great wealth such as the gentleman I work for...

This is all coming from the Republican party who thinks that people should only speak English in this country. Now that's funny.

Romney continues to win because he puts in the hard work and the effort required -- and by not arrogantly concluding that certain states are too unimportant to bother with. Now he is starting with the message that he think the Latino vote matters too. Good job!

Romney with another flip-flop. He says that all people should know English out of one side of his mouth, then approves an all Spanish ad out of the other side of his mouth.

Does this person ever stand behind what he says or believes?

TEC-SPRING-TX — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:32:50 GMT

So, the message from Mitt is that he is for immigration and he is not for mandating english only in goverment. If a person can not speak english, then they are not a citizen and they are not legally able to vote. So what voters are being targeted in spanish?

Christopher Estep, Marietta, GA — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:36:05 GMT

I don't see it as a flip-flop at all. It's one thing to say that English should be required for naturalization, but that doesn't mean he is against people speaking Spanish.

And in case Patty D. didn't know it, he's obviously not targeting illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants can't vote. It's rather racist to assume that just because someone speaks Spanish that they are an illegal immigrant, don't you think?

Christopher, I'm not a racist at all. And I definitely am not against spanish speaking individuals. It just seems to me the only thing I hear about, mostly the Republicans, is illigal immigration.

Patty, illegal imigrants can't vote so romney is not targeting them. He is targeting the LEGAL hispanic vote.

La mayoria de nosotros que hablamos espanol estamas aqui legalmente. Este no es hipocracia, es intelegencia.

and even if spanish is your native language, its really better to speak English in this country.

Go Mitt!

Christopher Estep, Marietta, GA — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:02:22 GMT

And as a Republican, you'll keep hearing it, as you should. They key word is "illegal". The reason why you hear so much of it is that it not only demonstrates the vulnerability of our country (we can't even control our own borders) but it makes a mockery of every law in this country and us as well.

Nobody should want illegal immigrants. If Dems want to debate whether we should open up for more legal immigration, that's a separate topic and one worthy of discussion. But illegal immigrants form a subculture that undermines our government through tax evasion. FL is a little different because there's no state income tax there, but Federal taxes are still avoided there.

I personally don't have a problem with more open legal immigration nor do I have a problem with spanish, except as a governmental issue. You need to have a single standard in dealing with the government, but that's another argument.

When are you fanatical illegal immigrant obsessives going to get it through your heads: not everybody who speaks Spanish is illegal. The overwhelming majority of the Cuban community in FL are legal immigrants, having been welcomed here by the US government (as well as republican voters & their elected representatives) as refugees from Fidel's oppressive regime.

Christopher Estep, Marietta, GA is the "Whole Bird" He is not just another right wing nut job. He is a sponser of Mitt and has his own nut wing web site. Chris, as a transplant from Georgia and now a proud Texan I have to say that the people back east really do not understand the immigration problem. Many immigrants from Mexico have history here. They have family here. Their history dates back before Texas was a state and before Texas was a country. If you just happen to be on the south side of the border does not mean you were not a Texian. Yes you are right about the borders, but it is not just the southwest border that is pourus. The 911 Highjackers entered through Canada not Mexico. So when I pick on the Republicans about immigration, it is beacause they are only concern about illegal immigration from Mexico. That is why we still have a wet foot dry Foot policy with Cubans, which are being brought through Mexico as we speak. I have never seen a republican or democrat ask for a green card when hiring day laborers. The problem is real here and it is more than your local landscaper. People here are held against their will, forced into the sex slave trade and made to pay ransoms to get released. So illegal immigration is not a Rebublican issue it is a Humanitarian issue. You can build your stupid wall, but that will not stop the problem. The problem can not be solved as a security issue.

Not every person migrating to the USA is intending to stay. Many are here seasonally, or to build a nest egg to return home with. Technically, they are not 'Immigrants' but rather, 'Emigrants'. Like Robins, Geese, or Retirees heading for Arizona in the Winter, they have a Season or two at a spot far from home, and then return to the place of their birth. Some sort of distinction with that might ease some of the rhetoric coming out of the Candidates.
