Romney Hammers Illegal immigration In New Ad

Mitt Romney has a new TV ad in Iowa and New Hampshire, promoting the candidate's credentials on illegal immigration — plus using a whole bunch of statistics about the threat in a way that would make Lou Dobbs proud:

Romney has been making gains on Rudy Giuliani over the immigration issue, attacking Rudy for having run a "sanctuary city" during his tenure as mayor.

"From day one, Mitt Romney will do what he does best," the announcer says. "Take charge; Get results; No excuses."

It's really not surprising that Romney is heating up his rhetoric given how much he is being attacked by the whole GOP field these days, especially by Huckabee criticizing his weak conservatism.

Wow.

Irony might not have died on 9/11, but subtlety sure did.

That spot actually contains a shot of him (or his body double) rolling his sleeves up - literally.

I guess he doesn't want to take even the slightest chance that the base will miss his point.

The problem ain't the folk yearning to be our huddled masses, it is the institutional entities disobeying the employment and national security laws already on the books.

I don't see any of the Republican field or HRC doing anything about the real issue no matter how much bluster they throw. Well . . . Perhaps Huckleberry might make the problem go away with a really good dieting program but the rest are full of their own rhetoric.

My favorite is the visual of him physically rolling up his sleeves. How many times you think that he had to practice that in front of the mirror?
