Romney is a little too late to save Immigration issue

A story is running in the Associated Press that Mitt Romney has now fired his landscaping company after Rudy called him out during the YouTube Debate. It would appear to be a little to late in order to save his perception in the immigration debate.

Republican Mitt Romney, ridiculed by rival Rudy Giuliani for employing illegal
immigrants at his "sanctuary mansion," said Tuesday he had fired the landscaper
for his suburban Boston home after learning for a second time about undocumented
workers laboring on the property.
In a statement issued after he concluded
his campaign appearances for the day, Romney said: "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.
"We personally met with the company in order to inform them about
the importance of this matter," he said. "The owner of the company guaranteed
us, in very certain terms, that the company would be in total compliance with
the law going forward."
