The clash took place at the opening of the final debate before Tuesday’s high-stakes Florida primary and reprised a long-running argument between the two leaders in the Republican contest. Earlier this week, Gingrich pulled a political ad that had applied the “anti-immigrant” label to Romney, but when asked whether he believed that description was accurate, he said he did.
That brought rebuke from Romney. “I’m not anti-immigrant,” he said. “My father was born in Mexico. My wife’s father was born in Wales. They came to this country. The idea that I’m anti-immigrant is repulsive. It’s simply the kind of over-the-top rhetoric that has characterized American politics for too long.”
For all of the squawking about illegals, the GOP really likes illegal immigration because it helps to bring down wages for citizens. They just play the illegal card as another form of the race card.
