Secondly, the Romney campaign asserted that when the presumed presidential nominee said during a Republican primary debate that Arizona is “a model,” he was referring to the state’s E-Verify law, not its anti-immigration law, the Kobach-backed SB-1070.

But newly-confirmed immigration adviser Kobach disputed this as well. “He stated very publicly that Arizona’s law should be a model for how the federal government enforces its immigration laws. And he’s correct there too,” Kobach told CNN of SB-1070. Indeed, Romney’s “self-deportation” policy shares the same basic approach as Arizona’s law.

Kobach went on to say that he doesn’t expect Romney — who had the harshest immigration policy of any Republican presidential candidate — to moderate his stances at all when facing President Obama. “I think it would be unusual for a national presidential candidate to back away from statements he’s made in debates and he hasn’t shown any sign of doing so,” Kobach said.

Indeed, it will be very hard for Romney, whose PAC was one of the largest donors to Kobach’s campaign for Kansas Secretary of State, to distance himself from his immigration adviser or the law in Arizona.
RomneyCare went national and became ObamaCare.
SB1070 will go national and become the law of the land with President Romney in White House.

Romney was in AZ today....McCain confirmed it in his tweet (http://twitter.com/#!/SenJohnMcCain/...80448016531457) so that's probably why a pro-sb1070 thing became his theme today. I believed he'd say something else if he was in CA or NY, much like he'd say he'd consider a bill for us dreamers when Rubio's bill kept popping up on him. The guy is a bit of a flip-flopper.

This thread reeks of negative energy Immigrant; you and I both know that no Presidential candidate can win the election in November by taking a harsh anti-immigrant (legal or illegal) stance.
