Bottom line: People in Mexico, today, are often trying to escape escalating violence, blatantly corrupt government and officials who victimize them as badly as any criminal, and increasing poverty.
THOSE people are deemed criminals, leeches, and talk of building a fence to keep them out gets applause
HOWEVER Romney's family flee the US in violation of laws that had been effect for years beforehand -- and not only is "OK", but is even spun as "fleeing persecution" and talks of asylum come up.
People fleeing for their lives = BAD. SHOOT THEM. BUILD A WALL.
People fleeing for a second wife = Those poor people, they're victims.
Notice the inconsistency in your stance there Jeff?
