Romney likely best since ‘Ike’ on illegal immigration

Roy Beck, founder and president of the immigration think tank, says Romney’s “B-minus” grade is a stark contrast to Obama’s “F-minus” — and better than Newt Gingrich’s “D” and Ron Paul’s “D-minus” grades.”In terms of rating him with any Republican or Democratic nominee for president, Romney’s not perfect on this issue,” he says, “but I’m going to say [he] would probably be on a par with [Ronald] Reagan [and] better than every other nominee until you go back to Eisenhower.”According to Beck, the former Massachusetts governor is excellent when it comes to opposing amnesty and advocating the need for E-Verify. “Romney is very, very strong on the idea that the number-one thing we have to do is shut off the jobs magnet,” he states. “He said the number-one thing is to have mandatory 50 state E-Verify.”The Numbers USA founder says having a president push hard for shutting down the “jobs magnet” would be a tremendous step forward on the immigration front. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=1575860By Chad Groening in One News Now
