I don’t git it…we REWARD criminal behavior with free school, college, medical while Americans live unemployed or under-employed and on welfare so illegal invaders feel special??
Just sayin’: Sen. Santorum earned an A+ on stopping amnesties while in Congress. And he has challenged his own Catholic Church leaders as well as other candidates for supporting the legalization of millions of people who have broken immigration laws. https://www.numbersusa.com/content/action/rick-santorum.html

Romney on Immigration: ‘The Answer is Self-Deportation,’ ‘Transition Period’ to Work Here

(CNSNews.com) – Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney says the way to deal with the estimated 12-14 million illegal aliens living and working in the United States is “self-deportation” and giving them a “transition period” for employment.

In response to a question at Monday’s night’s GOP debate in Tampa, Fla., Romney was asked about his earlier comments that he would not round up people and send them back to their home countries.
“So if you don’t deport them, how do you send them home?” Romney was asked.
“Well, the answer is self-deportation, which is people decide they can do better by going home because they can’t find work here because they don’t have legal documentation to allow them to work here,” Romney said.
“And so we’re not going to round people up as we have in this society; that is to say, look, people who come here illegally, under my plan, (will) be given a transition period and the opportunity during the transition period to work here,” Romney said. “But when that transition period is over, they would no longer have the documentation to allow them to work in this country.”
Romney said after the “transition period,” people would decide “whether to remain or return home” before applying for legal residency.
Both Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich expressed partial support for the Dream Act — a Democrat-sponsored bill that would allow people under the age of 33 a pathway to citizenship if they were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents and if they complete college.
