Mitt Romney’s margin of victory among Latinos was nearly double his margin of victory among Whites.
For those of you who supported other candidates, you have to at least feel some real satisfaction that on the issue of immigration, Mitt Romney the winner was painted as by-far the strongest opponent of amnesty. You may have preferred another candidate — including the President — for other reasons, but most Florida voters went to the polls with the idea that Romney was indeed the toughest on immigration.
Pro-self-deportation Romney won the overall vote by 46% to 32%.
But pro-self-deportaton Romney won the Latino vote by 54% to 29%.
It was a strong rebuke of the majority of media commentators who
insist that Latino-Americans can only be won by promising rewards for
lawbreaking. It added a sign of much greater dignity in the rule of
law for the Latino population than most in the media are willing to
give it.

I think you have badly misunderstood his position on immigration and amnesty. What you infer is nothing close to his position or anyone else of any stature in the country. As a point….40 years ago it was still illegal to come to our country by stepping in front of those who want to do it legally. over 70% of Hispanics in Arizona back SB1070 !!!
