The point Romney's making is this. And I think actually Romney needs to make this point a little more clearly, which is that, OK, what Obama did right now is potentially unconstitutional. He really circumvented the Congress and said I'm going to just do the DREAM Act without your help. I think what Romney's trying to say is I'll do comprehensive reform. We'll work it through Congress legally and then get it signed into law comprehensively. And that's a better solution, because then we can enforce the borders a little bit better. He wants to build a fence. I guess that's his way of trying to keep illegal immigrants out. He wants to address the whole problem of illegals getting into the country while dealing with the people who are already here. That's comprehensive. -Susan Ferrechio

The Republican candidate addressed the NALEO conference – the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials - where he spoke to the Obama immigration action. Said Mitt Romney, quote, Some people have asked if I will let stand the president's executive order. The answer is that I will put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the president's temporary measure. As president, I won't settle for stopgap measures. I'll work with Republicans and Democrats to build a long-term solution, and I'll prioritize measures. (Applause.) I want you to also know this. I will prioritize efforts that strengthen legal immigration and make it more transparent and easier. And I'm going to address the problem of illegal immigration in a civil and resolute manner. We may not always agree, but when I make a promise to you, I will keep it. Unquote.
