Mitt's Father George Romney was part of the Mormon exodus from Mexico around 1912.

Aided by an appropriation of $100,000 from the United States government, most colonists, uncertain of what awaited them in Mexico, dispersed to new locations in the western United States.100

A video is circulating on the internet of Lenore Romney talking about George Romney existing on welfare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DgB3WASwXA

Nevertheless, there were no federal government welfare programs in the US in 1912 and if you can find any reference...by name, by legislative Acts of Congress, by date, then by all means post it/them here.

I know there was earlier evidence form George Romney's wife, but here is more from the man himself...

From the archives: Mitt Romney’s father defends his success A sidewalk encounter with George Romney from 1967. NBC’s Brian Williams reports.

Transciprt:

GEORGE ROMNEY: I've been poor. I worked from the time I was 12. My parents were driven out of old Mexico when i was only 5. My people were revolutionary refugees. They had to be fed by the United States government and housed by the United States government . I know what poverty is. I've been up through it.

George Romney is indeed a man to be admired. I doubt he is perfect, but there is no denying that he did accomplish a lot, but note what he said and what he did not say. He said he was poor, he was. He said he worked hard, he did. He was trying to relate that he was not always wealthy, not always privileged, an argument he had the right to make. But nowhere does he say it was in spite of the Government, nowhere does he say he did it independently. And in fact he almost proudly states that the Government helped him. He almost seems to be saying, that look what a little boost from the Government can do for somebody like him. The Government made an investment in him and he succeeded

At least in a parallel Universe, I hope Ron Paul is the GOP candidate.

Romney's support for the Massachusetts health care system IS the very reason he is not going to be the Republican nominee for President...no matter how many leftists praise him, no matter how much the Treason Times praises him...no matter what.

the oracle has spoken...

. No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy – well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I’m President, I never will.

Shameless of Mitt Romney to criticize the US government's welfare programs for his countrymen when his dad emphatically asserts that his own family was fed and given shelter by the US Government when they fled Mexico.

How will this man protect America when he has virtually no foreign policy skills, no integrity, poor people skills and at best amateurish leadership skills? If its a businessman that the GOP wanted, then Jim Rogers is a better candidate. Mitt made millions, but Jim made billions and Jim does not flip-flop.

I agree with you. If Jimmy Rogers were running for President, he would certainly get my vote...depending on certain other qualifications like natural born citizenship which I can't speak to.

Romney is head and shoulders better qualified to be prez than O'Bomber...even with 4 years of on the job training under his belt he still can't cut the mustard. O'Bomber proposes to keep doing more of what he's been doing that's already failed and hoping for a different outcome. That's the definition of insanity. HOPE AND CHANGE HAS TURNED INTO...HOPE THEY DON'T NOTICE I FAILED.

but now the hatchet MUST be buried, at all costs, and hopefully in obama's skull...so all the pundits can recall is democrats implying there might be something fishy there...and no republican DARE go there.
