Schneider: Big points for Romney on immigration

Posted: January 30th, 2008 08:50 PM ET

Romney’s response scores big points with conservatives – and with a lot of Americans who aren’t conservative.

Californians do have a very mixed view of illegal immigration – they want it stopped, but they know people who are here illegally, and don’t want to see punitive measures.

But very few Hispanics vote in the Republican primary here. So there’s no significant Latino vote for him to worry about – at least for now.

Dave Sabatene		January 30th, 2008 10:06 pm ET How did Ron Paul become the invisible candidate when the media purposely cut him off? Why doesn't Mr. Schneider make any mention of this?!

Texas Jeff		January 30th, 2008 9:37 pm ET BIG points for Romney.... "So long, Mez-Kins, it's been good to know ya"...Mitt Edi Amin

Brigid		January 30th, 2008 9:16 pm ET Why is noone asking the candidates about what should be done with respect to illegal immigrants who have minor children who are US citizens because they were born here? Should the children who are citizens be forced to leave with their illegal parents, should the families be split up or what?

Frog-o-licious		January 30th, 2008 8:52 pm ET So what's this. . . Romney, McCain & Huckabee get to answer two questions each time Ron Paul answers one? - blatently ignoring him . . . that is very disrespectful. Don't think the American people don't recognize that.

Mike		January 30th, 2008 8:51 pm ET In other words, a non-issue for a primary. Should be revisited in October.

Brandon, San Antonio		January 30th, 2008 8:51 pm ET Romney is the only conservative that has the experience vision and values to make things happen in the White House!
