for him is not necessarily jail. i agree clients don t get jail on the first time offense. but the challenge for him, he may face a probation, for a guy like him if he continues to pass. and if we believe half of the things he s done in the last year, that could be a served as a basis to violate the probation. americans are signing up to deport him to canada; is there any possibility? realalistically yes, you get convicted of a crime you can be deported even if it is a misdemeanor. but come on, people, i think we are too hard on the beiber. we don t want him to be turning in the next lipped say lohan. but you shpt be able to rent a lambogin i. unless you are over 40. jana, going back to the deportation issue. he s not a legal resident and
international background and an ambitious policy agenda, but it let at least some sleeping dogs lie. take gay marriage, for example. on gay marriage, there was a belief in the administration that if the president endorsed the idea that gay people should be allowed to marry, it would do much more harm than good, so keep the opposition calm and let the underlying demographics turn in your favor. then, this year, something changed and the president did come out in favor of gay marriage. on the deportation issue, this is what they looked like under the bush administration. they kept going up. when obama came into office, there were many who hoped the trend would reverse. instead, the opposite happened, president obama became the deportation president. he deported more people than any other president ever. history was made, whether you like it or not, is up to you. the administration thought that by ramping up deportations, it would gain enough political capital to get what it really wanted
massachusetts mandate was a mandate and a penalty and described that way by the legislature and by me. it stays as it was. that are is different from what one of the senior aids told chuck todd that he believed it was a penalty. is this another flip flop or too much being made of this? i don t think too much is being made of it. voters want to know what you feel and that you can trust your issues. on thursday the health care ruling came out and took almost a week for romney to figure out what he was for. this was not something unanticipated and something we knew was going down and goes back to the deportation issue where romney can t figure out why where he is for. it is more about what is mitt romney for and why can t he tell the voters clearly and cleanly? last one to you. the wall street journal coming out and hitting hard on mitt
e-verify portion. the campaign has been very specific about that. wasn t speaking about the arizona law per se. at least that s what they say. well, what is clear is that it is muddled and we need leadership on this issue and that the courts have now said, rightly so, i think, it s a federal responsibility. you can t blame the states. they re saying the federal government hasn t done their job. so president obama had an opportunity in 07 and became part of the reason that it didn t happen in 07, and more recently, put forward a good idea i think on the deportation issue with children of immigrants. what we really need now is for mitt romney, from a republican perspective, i want to see him step up and talk about how it s part of a bigger get specific on a plan, how it s part of his broader vision for the country and also part of the macro economic plan which it ought to be. get people out of the gray economy. figure out what we re going to do, talk about how the hispanics in amer
high unemployment in the hispanic community which is higher than the nation at large and they think that his economic message will resonate over time with gettable hispanics, hispanics that aren t going to go with obama in the election. i think it s a high-risk strategy. it s crystal clear the start of conversation with hispanic voters you have to show you re serious about find something kind of solution to the deportation issue. what do we know about his immigration policy? that sunday when he sat down with bob sheefrer a couple days ago kind of tied in knots on that question. we know about the self-deportation, we heard about that in the gop primary debates. what s his big idea? i don t think he has one yet. he moved very far to the right during the primary race on immigration, on the dream act. they re clearly trying to figure out a calibration that will work. they wanted to embrace the plan by marco rubio which which have
