Mitt Romney Flip Flops On Dream Act: “Dreamers Good Enough To Die In The Military But Not Good Enough For A Degree?”

by: Shirl Mora James

The National Tequila Party is appalled and disgusted that GOP candidate Mitt Romney is only willing to allow our American DREAMer’s to adjust their legal status by serving in the military. However, last month in Iowa, Romney was singing a different tune when he promised Iowans that he said he would veto the DREAM Act. It is ironic that many DREAMers have been here since they were babies and that this country is the only country that they know. They have been pledging allegiance to our country and flag since they have been in grade school.

Romney’s message to the Latina/o community appears to be “I am willing to allow DREAMERS to fight for our country” at the same denying our American DREAMers access to a college education. What is wrong with Romney’s line of thinking? We at the National Tequila Party believe that is very unfortunate yet very significant that Romney is willing to risk our children’s lives while at the same time delegating our children to second-class citizenship by promising to veto the educational portion of the DREAM Act. What this tells us is that our children are good enough to fight and die for this country yet, they are not good enough to be educated.

Now, Romney with his back against the wall and finally recognizing that he does need the Latina/os vote, he comes courting. Conversely, Romney’s actions do not fool us because we all know who Romney’s friends are! Therefore, the National Tequila Party is calling out to all Latina/os that are in the open-primary states to go “Vote for anybody BUT Mitt Romney” and send a clear message to Romney “NO MAS”!

Hispanic point of view on News for America and the World It's Not Just About Immigration José Díaz-Balart, chief political analyst for Telemundo, had one important task during the September 7, 2011, Republican debate-to ask the candidates about immigration. Díaz-Balart asked his question, got his answer and was dismissed from the stage. The stereotype was fulfilled; a Latino asked one question and the one question was about immigration. With that box checked, the moderators and candidates were able to return to "non-Latino" issues. ...read
