Does Mitt Romney really want immigrants to self-deport?

Middle Class Tax Increases:

"They didn’t talk about their plan to cut taxes for millionaires by raising taxes on middle-class families with kids—on your family—by $2,000."

Democrats have repeatedly made this claim throughout the convention. It's spin, kind of: while the Republicans have talked about lowering classes for wealthy Americans, they have not said anything about raising taxes for the middle class to offset higher-income tax cuts. The truth: the Romney campaign has simply not outlined specific actions they will take to compensate for their tax cuts. A joint project between the Brooking's Institue and the Urban Institute reached "$2,000" figure by assuming the details for them.

Medicare

"...or their plan to replace the guarantee of Medicare with a voucher that might not cover the cost of care and could force seniors to pay up to $6,400 more a year."

True...for Paul Ryan's platform in 2011 at least. Not true for Romney's platform today. One difference between Ryan and Romney is that the former governer says he'll keep Medicare...kind of.

Immigration:

"Instead of supporting their dream, Governor Romney wants to make their lives so miserable, so oppressive, so intolerable that they would leave behind the life they’ve built and self-deport."

The diagnosis: true, even with loaded words. Romney did mention the idea of asking illegal immigrants to "self-deport" during the Republican debates. For more on Romney's stance, NPR has compiled a side-by-side comparison between him and the President on immigration.

Gay Marriage:

"For the first time, a major party platform recognizes marriage equality as a basic human right!"

True. The Democrats are the first major party in the United States to support gay marriage. Of course, it's worth noting that many third-party platforms -- including Log Cabin Republicans, the Green Party, and the Communists -- have supported marriage equality years before the 2012 convention. Along with these countries.
