So Mitt Romney has a healthcare problem (his Romneycare plan in Massachusetts has a mandate and provides universal coverage, which are evil in the teabagger eyes, and worse, it was the model upon which Obamacare is based, which makes it now Satanic), and he has an immigration problem (the rich man looking to save a buck had no problem hiring undocumented workers before he was running for President).
