• Again, Romney Landscapers Employ Undocumented Workers
  Ambinder: Point to Giuliani/Romney’s rivals: “Sanctuary Mansion” — again? Why did Romney not fire the company last year? He warned them last year and let them off….he continued to use their services until he found out, again, that they were employing illegal immigrations.This is a political embarrassment. An unforced error. One that his opponents will use to whip him. Is he really committed to cleansing the republic of the stain of illegal immigration? Or is he just talking tough for the sake of impressing Republican primary voters? Is he really a pro-comprehensive-reform businessman at heart, unable to survive without undocumented labor? And how many Republican primary voters use lawn care companies? Now, a Thompson or Giuliani can run a contrast ad using this example.
