Will Immigration Become an Issue?

Romney has attacked Giuliani for employing a landscaping company that employs illegal workers. Romney himself fired his own landscaping company last year. Shortly after firing the landscaper, Romney re-contracted the company. He said in a statement on Tuesday, "After this same issue arose last year, I gave the company a second chance with very specific conditions. They were instructed to make sure people working for the company were of legal status." The landscaper was fired once again when Romney discovered that the contract had been violated. Romney fired the landscaper for, assumingly, political reasons. But why would he jepordize himself and his political career by hiring the same landscaper? I think this was a poor decision on Romney's part and this may push the issue of immigration back into the spotlight. Immigration has remained out of the public eye, for the most part, since President Bush's Immigration Reform Act was defeated in the Senate in 2006. This may be an issue to watch in the coming months since immigration caused national tension back in 2006. click here for article.
