In his new Iowa TV ad, Mitt says, “Washington politicians from both parties have proven that they can’t control spending, and they won’t control our borders. I will.” short Globe article here
Mitt seems to want to extend legal immigration only to those who are well-educated and have technical skills. So much for
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
If you’re interested in seeing Mitt talk about immigration in more detail, you can find a clip of him speaking about immigration here on his campaign website.
(The best part might be when he mentions a company that builds robots – and looks like he is about to channel Michael Jackson doing the robot…)

I think Tom Reilly tried that…didn’t work out so hot.
actually, what strikes me more than his hollow borders ‘n budget bites is the way he seems to be talking to children. i’m sure he was just going for whatever he thinks would be down-home friendly talk, but it obviously doesn’t come naturally to him. to me it just sounds like Mr Mitt Talks Sense to Big Iowa Kids!.
