Hum?

From the article:

Romney said - I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country.

Romney said - I’m worried about the youngsters here. They’re bright, they can help carry this country forward in a way previous generations have and I think they do need some assistance and some recognition for the work they are doing in school.

Romney said - I’m delighted with the idea that people (illegals) who come to this country and wish to serve in the military can be given a path to become permanent residents of this country.

Romney quoted - Rubio has already offered his own version of the act that would not provide citizenship, but instead give legal status for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States by their parents when they were minors.

And that’s just this article.

The thing is, many who responded to the article were reacting extremely negatively to Romney’s supposed position based on the headline. When you read the article, though, it paints a completely different picture of what Romney’s position is. So it was rather misleading.

Hey SignalMan,

How about you be honest and answer the facts taht svcw posted instead of lying about the original OP.

You’re right, Romney’s agreeing with Rubio that Obama’s actions don’t go far enough: they’re outflanking him on the left!

No reference to Obama’s overreach of power or that any amnesty is just wrong.

In December, Romney said he would veto the DREAM Act if he were president, saying instead he would support a path to residency – not citizenship – for those who served in the military, but not other DREAM Act proposals.

"I'm delighted with the idea that people who come to this country and wish to serve in the military can be given a path to become permanent residents of this country," he said. "For those who come here illegally, the idea of giving them in-state tuition credits or other special benefits I find to be contrary to the idea of a nation of law."

Rubio has already offered his own version of the act that would not provide citizenship, but instead give legal status for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States by their parents when they were minors.

Romney has not come out in support of Rubio's measure, saying only that the two have spoken about the proposed legislation.

"He [Rubio] and I have spoken about his thinking on his version of a different act than the DREAM Act that's been proposed in the Senate," Romney said in April at a campaign event in Pennsylvania.

He continued, "The one that's been proposed in the Senate creates a new category of citizenship for certain individuals. The Senator's proposal does not create that new category but instead provides visas for those that have come into the country that came in as young people with their families."
