Politics: Oh Mitt!

With the election drawing ever closer, it is important to be fully aware of the candidate challenging the presidency.
While the current President has done almost nothing that he promised he would do in his original campaign, Mitt Romney’s positions on several issues are particularly confusing-particularly his immigration policy.
Mitt’s plan is to bolster border security and immediately abolish the Dream Act, which provides conditional permanent residency to certain undocumented residents of good moral character who have graduated from U.S. high schools, arrived in the United States as minors, and lived in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill’s enactment.
Mitt Romney opposes this bill emphatically, yet his father is essentially the poster child for the bill. Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney, was born in a Mormon Colony of U.S. citizens in Mexico, in 1907. In 1912 George and his parents fled the Mexican Revolution and became refugees who were given asylum in the United States. They then received welfare from the U.S. Government for the first few years they were in the country.
George grew up to become President of American Motors, Governor of Michigan and a candidate for President in 1968, but his campaign came to an end for a variety of reasons. With close family ties still in Mexico, it is curious as to why Mitt Romney is so opposed to immigration and the Dream Act.
