Romney "Would Veto Dream Act."

Philip Rucker writes at the Washington Post (1/3) "Election 2012" blog that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, "apparently trying to burnish his anti-immigration credentials before conservative voters" in Iowa "said outright that he would veto the federal DREAM Act, legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for certain undocumented immigrants. The former Massachusetts governor previously has been critical of the DREAM Act – and, as governor, he vetoed a similar state law – but previously had not said he would veto the federal law as president. ... According to a campaign aide, Romney specifically opposes provisions in the measure that would open a path to legalization for illegal immigrants who complete high school and two years of post-secondary education and that would allow states to grant them in-state tuition to public colleges."
