Romney Would Veto Immigration "Dream" Act By Jane Sutton …
LEMARS, Iowa (Reuters) - Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney said on Saturday he would veto a proposal granting U.S. citizenship to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children, a pledge that won hearty applause from Iowa conservatives he hopes to win over.
A young woman asked Romney about the bipartisan proposal known as the Dream Act, during an appearance at a crowded restaurant in Le Mars, a conservative Republican stronghold in western Iowa.
"The question is if I were elected and Congress were to pass the Dream Act, would I veto it and the answer is yes," Romney said. "For those that 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 laws," Romney said.
"If I'm the president of the United States I want to end illegal immigration so that we can protect legal immigration. I like legal immigration."
Under the Dream Act, which was brought up in the Senate in May, young undocumented immigrants who have lived most of their lives in the United States and graduate from U.S. high schools would be eligible for a conditional six-year "path to citizenship" if they earn a college degree or serve two years in the military.
Romney also said he would secure the U.S.-Mexico border with a fence and enough Border Patrol agents to guard it.

Ol Mitt is getting pretty frisky there and not sounding liberal.
I don’t care if Romney promised to deport every illegal alien in the country personally in his pickup truck, I will NEVER vote for the magic mormon.
Romney will say anything, promise anything, to get elected.
He is not trustworthy. He is a known flip-flopper. And worst of all, HE’S MEAN TO DOGS!
Mitt Romney is running “far right” in the primary, but watch, he will settle back in his liberal politics the second he is made the nominee..
I like “Candidate Romney” somewhat over half the time. It’s the Romney in office that I despise 99 44/100% of the time. I don’t particularly care what Romney says in his campaign - I know what he really thinks and does, so lies don’t impress me.
Unmittigated bullsh!t worked for the 0bama campaign didn't it?
No he won’t.
He might modify it to please the Tea Party, but the elite want the Dream act to pass as well.
Big “DITTOS” To that!
You mean is his new lie is able to convince enough stupid conservatives to believe him
Say Anything
I notice, as of this postiing, that the article had 5,416 comments. Obviously a hot topic.
As a Californian, I can attest that petitions to repeal the “Dream Act” (Nightmare Act would be more appropriate) are popping up everywhere.

Romney is a congenital liar. His promises mean NOTHING.
The title is missing the Barf Alert. You can still ask the mods to change it to include a Barf Alert as this an Anti-Romney website.
It doesn’t matter as this is an Anti-Romney website. There is nothing he can say or do that will change that.
till he changes his mind...
Will everyone who believes what Willard says please shout “yo”?..............
Excuse me, but I thought I might have heard one voice — anyone else hear it?
No, I didn’t really think so.
I will run to the polls to vote for Romney if he runs against Bammy Boy. Romney may be a bit liberal but Romney as president means
no more Bammy Boy
No more racist Eric Holder
No more wacko industry and oil hating Lisa Jackson at EPA (get this beoyotch out!)
No more Hillary
No more Moochelle bleeding the taxpayers
