Paul Mero: Mitt Romney has a Dreamer problem

Mitt Romney’s stated desire to kick Dreamer kids out of the country is disconcerting and disappointing — and a policy that is Trumpian, not conservative.

For a man who once excoriated Donald Trump for being “very very not smart,” Mitt is very very not smart about immigration policy generally and how Utahns view undocumented immigrants specifically.

We could excuse Mitt for saying what he feels he needs to say to the red meat crowd in Utah County, except his opposition to Dreamer kids is what he believes — and, oddly enough, it seems to be one of the few things about which he is unwavering.
