Romney on amnesty, 2008

In the debate last week, Romney (along with Santorum) beat up Perry over his support for in-state tuition for illegal aliens. But in this interview on Meet the Press in 2007-2008, Romney supported amnesty. Not in those words, of course. He’s very smart and he spins it all kinds of ways. For example, he says that illegals should not be given any “special” pathway to legalization. But, however he spun it, the bottom line was that he believed that illegals should be given legal status.
