Today's IQ: Mitt Romney

Campaigning in northern Michigan, where many employers have struggled to fill jobs in hotels and restaurants during the summer tourist rush, Romney said more temporary workers should be allowed where there are labor shortages.

"The answer to that is simple, which is issue more visas," Romney told reporters. "If our employment sector needs additional immigrant laborers, then issue the visas necessary to provide that work force."

Cont'd:

"I'm not going to leave America's employers without the capacity to meet the needs of our consuming public," he said.

Today's IQ: Ann Coulter

HeOn illegal immigration, Huckabee makes George Bush sound like Tom Tancredo. He has compared illegal aliens to slaves brought here in chains from Africa, saying, "I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before."

Toward that end, when an Arkansas legislator introduced a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from voting and receiving state benefits, Huckabee denounced the bill, saying it would rile up "those who are racist and bigots."

He also made the insane point that companies like Toyota would not invest in Arkansas if the state didn't allow non-citizens to vote because it would "send the message that, essentially, 'If you don't look like us, talk like us and speak like us, we don't want you.'"

"Immigration: A Roadside IED on the Trail"

-Newsweek

"The flow of the presidential campaign has taken me to Iowa a good bit lately, and here is the chief thing I learned: the immigration issue is a roadside IED there, and all politicians, Republicans in particular, had better up-armor—fast."

Today's IQ: Mitt Romney

Sidenote: What race is Mitt Romney running in?

"This incident underscores the pressing need to strengthen the enforcement of our current immigration laws. I strongly disagree with the other candidates in this race who are dismissive of increased enforcement efforts and continue to defend sanctuary city policies that weaken our border security efforts and create zones of protection for illegal immigration. Those policies are wrong and the defense of such policies highlights how a 3 million illegal immigrant problem became a 12 million illegal immigrant problem."

Today's IQ: Herb Kohl

"We need to have an immigration policy that is tough with respect to enforcement but also fair in creating a path to legalization for hardworking, law-abiding immigrants."

-- Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3 March 2006

Today's LOW IQ: John Kerry

"[W]e need an earned-legalization program for people who have been here for a long time, stayed out of trouble, got a job, paid their taxes, and their kids are American. We got to start moving them toward full citizenship, out of the shadows."

-- Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, Third Bush-Kerry Debate, 13 October 2004
