MItt Romney on self-deportation -- again

By Richard K. Barry

Ah, let us relive some of the more entertaining moments from Tuesday's debate.

How about this one, in which Mitt Romney explains his policy of self-deportation? Last time I looked, Mitt was polling in the 20s among Latino voters. I have to wonder if he is trying to bring that down to zero. He might have a shot.

Mitt wants undocumented immigrants to know he will make their lives so miserable they will be begging to be deported.

Or, to quote Steve Benen, as I like to do:

There's no great mystery as to why Mitt Romney is struggling so badly with Latinos: Romney has gone out of his way to deliberately antagonize the entire community -- endorsing "self-deportation," vowing to veto the DREAM Act, palling around with Kris Kobach, using "illegal" as a noun, and describing Arizona's SB 1070 as a "model" for the nation.

Tell us all about it, Mitt:
