Meredith, NH (AHN) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on Tuesday that he had terminated the services of the landscaping contractor for his home in Boston after persistent, "disappointing and inexcusable" reports that the company was employing illegal laborers.

The Republican presidential hopeful made the statement in response to a story by the Boston Globe that said it had interviewed two illegal laborers who were working in Romney's home the morning after the CNN/YouTube Republican debate in which Romney had a heated argument with rival and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani about illegal immigration.

One of the workers had paid $7,000 so he could be smuggled into Arizona while the other one was in the country with an expired student visa, according to the newspaper.

"After this same issue arose last year, I gave the company a second chance with very specific conditions. They were instructed to make sure people working for the company were of legal status," Romney said in a statement. "We personally met with the company in order to inform them about the importance of this matter... the company guaranteed us, in very certain terms, that the company would be in total compliance with the law going forward."

During the CNN/YouTube debate, Romney criticized Giuliani for continuing to support New York's status as a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants. Romney was referring to a policy during Giuliani's administration that prohibited city workers refrain from asking about a person's immigration status when providing public services such as medical treatment.

Giuliani said, "Mitt usually criticizes people when he usually has the far worse record" and accused Romney of having illegal workers in his "sanctuary mansion." Romney had replied that it would "not be American" to inspect the papers of a landscaping company's workers just because of a "funny accent."

A Des Moines poll released on Monday showed that former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee had overtaken the long-time front-runner among Republicans in Iowa, where caucuses officially begin this election's presidential nominating contest. The survey showed Huckbee at 29 percent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 24 percent, and Giuliani at third place with 13 percent.

2. Yes, they do

Romney should have fired them months ago, but of course, he's a scumbag out for the dollar and power. Still, he should have fired his landscaping company ages ago.

3. Yeah, and remember at the debate...

when he and Judy..er, I mean Rudy was getting into it about Romney having an illegal? housekeeper, I think...so this is not an isolated incident with him...

6. so between Romney and Guiliani, it's

either abuse your money and look away while illegals do your work while you berate them, or abuse your power and force your police force to taxi around your mistress instead of fighting crime.

And Chris Matthews still has a show, and I don't. That pretty much says it all, right there.
