• 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.
		

• Opposes driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

• Huckabee opines that illegal immigrants should go home
and start over again.  According to him it is not being cruel but
being kind to those who have spent their lives in hiding and
running on sighting a police car. He feels that the country owes
this priority to the legal ones who have been waiting in line for
a long time. This would make sense and protect the borders and
the dignity of each person in the country.

• Huckabee proposed building a border fence within the
first 18 months of taking office. By doing this there would be no
open door for people to just walk in and out of at will.
According to him Americans are not angry that people are coming
into the country but instead they thank God that people are
trying to break into their country rather than break out of it,
but they should come in legally which would be better for the
country and themselves.

• Huckabee wants the American citizens to hold their heads
up high. But with the illegal immigrants it is not possible since
they are throughout America in hiding while at the same time
trying to feed their families.  He wants all citizens in the US
to live decently and hence the illegal immigrants should start
all over again and get a legal citizenship in order to live
decently with a sense of pride and not fear.

• Huckabee acknowledges America's need for doctors and
engineers in abundance but says they should enter the country
legally.
