I didn't see the actual debate but watched a clip last night, heard this and wondered why nobody else on the stage caught this.
It was brought up Romney hired a lawn care service that employed illegals. Here was the Mittsters reaction...

So Mitt doesn't react to the company hiring illegals just because it was wrong, he reacted because "I'm running for office".
Now to be fair he isn't the only high profile politician willing to look the other way when possibly hiring illegals. Meg Whitman, Zoe Biard come to mind. This goes to the heart of why conservatives can't stand this guy. He's willing to say anything, take any position to get elected.
Someone on that stage could have said, "Hey Mitt this is the problem people have with you. You should do the right thing just because it is the right thing, not because people are looking or you are running for office."

So we went to the company and we said, look, you cant have any illegals working on our property, said Romney. Im running for office, for Petes sake, I cant have illegals. It turns out that once question, they hired someone who had falsified their documents, had documents, and therefore we fired them.
