Romney's attempts at Etch A Sketching have begun: In a desperate attempt to win back a few of the Latino voters he has so thoroughly alienated by his extreme immigration rhetoric, Romney's trying to distract from his own anti-immigrant record by falsely attacking the President.

From immigration policy to how much one should pander to appeal to conservative Republican voters, here's a quick reminder of just how much Romney and his latest endorser, Jeb Bush, disagree.

At last night's Republican debate, Romney took his anti-immigrant pandering to new extremes, calling Arizona's infamously draconian anti-immigrant law "a model."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, former Nevada Gov. Bob Miller, and former Sen. Richard Bryan welcomed Mitt Romney to Nevada with an op-ed in the Las Vegas Sun. On every issue important to Nevadans—jobs, housing, immigration, and Yucca Mountain—Romney is on the wrong side.

Why haven't we seen former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, one of the most influential Republican voices in Florida, make an endorsement for the GOP presidential nomination? It may be because he recognizes that Mitt Romney is farther to the right on immigration than any of the other extreme Republican candidates.

With all eyes on Mitt Romney as he limped across the finish line in Iowa, we don't want anyone to forget his statement from this past weekend on the DREAM Act, which he reinforced again today on CNN. And more importantly, with critical votes still coming up in the next few months for the Republican party, we think it's imperative that everyone knows exactly where Romney stands on immigration.

In direct contrast to President Obama, Mitt Romney said on Saturday at a campaign stop in Iowa that he would veto the DREAM Act if it passed and he were president. This statement confirms that on immigration, Mitt Romney is the most extreme presidential candidate in recent memory. Thousands of young people who live in this country are upstanding and productive members of their communities, but through no fault of their own cannot attend college or serve in the military.
