It also states:

The governor said he wants to see reforms that encourage illegal workers to register with the government, pay taxes and apply for citizenship.

Unless he has had a drastic change of heart since April, he is definitely an amnestyjustdontcallitthat supporter.

Instead, Romney said, illegal immigrants should be identified and required to apply for green cards, which would allow them to live and work in the United States. Those whose applications are accepted could stay, the rest would be returned to their native countries.

“Romney Supports Immigration Program, But Not Granting Amnesty”


AP, Evan Lehmann, Lowell Sun


“Governor Romney expressed support yesterday for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal residents on the path toward citizenship but criticized any form of ‘amnesty.’”


“I don’t believe in amnesty, Romney said, using a word voiced by Republicans to describe widespread forgiveness of illegal residency in the United States.”


“But at the same time, Romney said illegal immigrants should have a chance to obtain citizenship.”


“I don’t believe in rounding up 11 million people and forcing them at gunpoint from our country,” Romney said. “With these 11 million people, let’s have them registered, know who they are. Those who’ve been arrested or convicted of crimes shouldn’t be here; those that are here paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process towards application for citizenship, as they would from their home country.”
