WASHINGTON -- Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney expressed disappointment Monday with the Supreme Court's ruling on an Arizona immigration law, saying more latitude, not less, should be given to the states.
After he and his staff repeatedly dodged questions on his thoughts on the opinion, Romney finally gave a more specific comment when speaking with reporters on Monday afternoon, according to a pool report.
The Supreme Court ruled earlier in the day that key provisions of Arizona immigration law SB 1070 were unconstitutional, but upheld one of the most controversial elements of the law.
"Now you probably heard today there was a Supreme Court decision relating to immigration and, you know, given the failure of the immigration policy in this country, I would have preferred to see the Supreme Court give more latitude to the states not less," Romney said in Arizona, according to the pool report. "And there are states now under this decision have less authority, less latitude, to enforce immigration laws."

(331 posts)I'm sorry that Mitt feels this way but, it will just help President Obama's stance with Latino voters. They can sure see his true nature. I sometimes wonder how Mitt can stand in front of people and lie. To tell people that our President has done absolutely noting to pass immigration reform is such a lie. If the Republicans wouldn't have filibustered it, we would have a "Dream Act". The new Republican House has one agenda. It has decided to neglect all to defeat Obama. It is so sad that the leadership of this country does not take it's job seriously. It has become a war to no end. How can we arrive at any compromise when there is this much hatred going on? I hope Obama beats the crap out of Mitt and all his money come November. The biggest fear of all American poor and Middle class is that all this money will buy the Presidency. Mr. Mitt knows nothing about the bottom. He knows how to help the rich. He is indeed an investment to the corporations. Do you think they would be pouring all this money into the election if they didn't expect something in return?

(9,933 posts)How come Mitt didn't say the same about the Montana ruling? Is he just fine and dandy with the supreme court over ruling their ban on corporate spending?
Someone, reporter journalist pundit.... please ask him this question on camera. I will send you money just to see that!
