It’s Pick on Thompson About Immigration Day, as Mitt Romney’s campaign takes its shot:

Since some candidates have arrived late to the race and are just realizing that the issues of cutting off federal aid to sanctuary cities and strengthening the enforcement of immigration laws are issues that Governor Romney has already been a leader on, a policy re-fresher is provided below.

In the e-mail, their first item is…

In December 2006, Governor Romney Signed A Memorandum Of Agreement With The Federal Government Deputizing State Troopers To Enforce Immigration Laws. “Governor Mitt Romney and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and ICE, which will give specially trained Massachusetts State Troopers the authority to administer and enforce federal immigration laws in the Commonwealth.” (Office Of The Governor, “Governor Romney, ICE Sign Immigration Enforcement Pact,” Press Release, 12/13/06)

I’ve written about this before. I mean, come on, man. Deval Patrick vetoed it practically the moment he took his hand off the Bible to be sworn in. The program never went into effect.

If Mitt Romney said, ‘I can fix our chaotic and failing immigration and border control system the way I fixed a chaotic and failing Olympic committee in Salt Lake City,’ I would find that a more compelling argument than, ‘look at this program I signed into law that never went into effect.’
