• Romney opposes amnesty or permanent legalization for illegal aliens and temporary
legalization for illegal aliens as guest workers. 

• He opposes allowing illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses.

• Mitt strongly believes that illegal immigrants should go home eventually and sign up for
permanent citizenship legally within a set period of time. This would be his final decision again
illegal immigration.

• With regard to the employers who have and are employing illegal immigrants, Romney feels
that they can't be penalized with imprisonment.  On the other hand they should hire non US citizens
who bear a valid social security number.  This card should be verified on the computer for
authenticity before they can be hired.  If this is not followed, the employer would be subject to
sanctions similar to those for not paying taxes in the country.

• Mitt Romney is in favor of scholarships and tuitions for illegal immigrants.  He has also
supported scholarships funded by taxpayers for illegal immigrants. He was reported to have mentioned
"I hate the idea of, in any way, making it more difficult for kids, even those who are illegal
aliens, to afford college in our state."

• Children born in America from illegal parents become US citizens by virtue of being born in
the US.  But in Romney's opinion it's a mistake as these children are surely going to get their
family chain into the country illegally and thus legal immigration cannot be protected.  Legal
applicants will have to continue waiting for their turn to unite with their loved ones.

• Romney is against the 'Z visa' that allows illegal immigrants to continue living in the US
for 13 years before they are able to become citizens of the country.  He opines that it is not fair
to keep the legal applicants waiting to enter the country through the proper procedure and allow the
illegals to stay.
