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.Added for context.
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."
This seems to be Mutt’s MO — claiming he wouldn’t support legislation such as the DREAM Act and claiming that he’d repeal Zerocare — only to say Republicans should propose their own DREAM Act and he’d replace parts of Zerocare with health legislation he likes.
Slightly slower path to the train wreck. Mutt loves him some statism.
