A Candidate Who Is A Fast Talker

Why is Governor Romney saying "Arabs" when referring to oil producing countries? Not all
Mid-East countries consider themselves "Arabs". That seems quite a pejorative way in which to
show some racial bias. Some of his ill-chosen words have been thus far overlooked by traditional
media.
Persons from Central and South America prefer to be called Latino, or even Latina. So all this
reference to the former continent of Hispaniola is silly.
And in my view, people brought here as children from other countries are inside our law unless
they break a law after reaching the age of reason. If countries want to expel people for being here
illegally, then do that. If our country has no working method for controlling border entrances,
children are in no way a part of that incapacity.
I personally know of two children who came to America at ages 6 and 7. One parent was from
Ecuador. She passed away last year when her young ones were 12 and 13.
Their dad was from a different country in South America. They had no idea where he was. The parents had been divorced for about five years. Let's make sense. Spend the money to find the dad?
Reunite the family and send them all back to the dad's country? Have the children ever even seen
dad's country?
If we spend what it will cost to locate 12 million persons, get accurate records of where they really
are from, and transport said persons south of our borders to a myriad number of countries, then we are prepared to spend a fortune. We are also prepared to have a great deal of push back, the
nature of which will probably take many costly forms as well, from nations which cannot easily absorb so many new citizens for an indeterminate amount of duration.
