Illegeal Aliens Toiled for Governor (Mountain Meadows Mitt Romney)
Illegal immigrants toiled for governor

SUCHITEPEQUEZ, Guatemala -- Outside his aqua-colored concrete house here, Rene Alvarez Rosales paused under an almond tree to answer questions about a subject with which he has surprising familiarity: Governor Mitt Romney's Belmont lawn.

For about eight years, Rosales said, he worked on and off landscaping the grounds at Romney's home, occasionally getting a "buenos dias" from Romney or a drink of water from his wife, Ann.

"She is very nice," said Rosales, 49.

About 6 miles away in Copado, a 37-year-old man who recently returned to Guatemala from the United States told a similar story, describing long days tending Romney's 2 1/2-acre grounds.

"They wanted that house to look really nice," said the worker, who asked to remain anonymous. "It took a long time."

The terrier of trade would go pee on "Mitt" Romney's leg right now.

2. "he has grown outspoken in his criticism of illegal immigration"
Apparently Mittens was for illegal immigration before he was against it. :D

3. Question
You call Romney "Mountain Meadows"--was he somehow connected with the Mountain Meadows Massacre that happened in the nineteenth century? Most of the folks who were victims came from the area where I live, and there is a memorial monument to them on the courthouse square in the town where I work.
