Despite his tough talk on immigration, apparently Mitt Romney only yesterday fired the landscaping company that continued to hire undocumented workers.  According to an article on Boston.com:  “Even after a Globe story in December 2006 highlighted Mitt Romney’s use of a landscaping company that employs illegal immigrants to tend to his grounds, Romney continued to employ Community Lawn Service With a Heart — until yesterday. The company continued to employ illegal immigrants.”

My two cents:  Making immigration the centerpiece of a campaign is a mistake that will come at a high cost for candidates who choose to do so.

According to an article on AlterNet.com:  “On the issue of immigration, politicians and much of the mainstream media are playing with our minds. By repeating the phrase “illegal immigrants,” they’re creating a misleading stereotype. It’s inaccurate. And, it’s distracting us from the real issue — economic exploitation of all low-wage workers in the United States.”
