Do you know where Romney stands in regards to the border issue and the illegal alien invasion?
I found the following pertinent points at the Evangelicals for Mitt web site:
- He opposed a bill that would have allowed illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses
- He vetoed a bill to give illegal aliens the right to in-state tuition at public universities
- He is seeking to allow state troopers to arrest illegal immigrants
Quote: “I’m against an amnesty and against anything that provides an incentive for people to come here illegally.”
The quotes below are published on the Americans for Mitt web site
“I would like to see us, as a nation, bringing in fewer illegal immigrants.”
“I do not like the idea, therefore, of Amnesty because I’m afraid that when you have a regular Amnesty program, of one form or another, you will create a greater incentive for people to come into the country illegally.”
“In my state I’ve said that I will veto any legislation which calls for a drivers license for illegal immigrants.”

The issue of Immigration has a section on the web site for Mitt Romney's Presidential Exploratory Committee.
