Let me ask about Mitt Romney who says he wants self deportation.

Mitt Romney the front or the likely Republican nominee.

Has taken the harshest position of any of the Republican candidates on immigration reform.

Are you ready to endorsed Mitt -- Well I'm and I'm endorsing Mitt Romney because I think it's going to be much better president Barack Obama.

On the issue that you've outlined I think -- Mitt Romney would say and he needs this you know obviously.

He has spoken on that issue you can tell you more depth about what what he feels but here's what I've.

I believe that the united states of Americans illegal immigration system works we need to have a guest worker program.

That's where people -- -- tamper proof ID when they enter the country that work for defined period of time when their workers over the go back to their country.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this country illegally that would avail themselves of that program existed.

I think that this country needs to have legal immigration reform -- reform -- the program is broken and I think if you have those issues and place you'll be shocked.

And how much of the illegal immigration problem would buy into the runner Mitt Romney's -- there is no pathway to citizenship and let's self deportation do you consider that realistic it's the pathway to citizenship is -- applied in through the legal immigration process that's gonna break down I mean we have twelve million illegal immigrants in the -- that pathway to citizenship is to legally immigrate to the United States what I said to you tonight is that the way to do that is broken.

It has to be reform correct and that's but but that's that's why you reform the legal immigration system.

And that's what I'm talking about them announcing that we reform the legal immigration system and deal with the security issues all of a sudden a lot of these legal immigration problem illegal -- -- problems become easier to attack.

Well here's a question for you Rick Perry who was running for president governor of Texas advocated.

In state tuition for illegal immigrants.

The other Republican candidates opposed to -- -- used to always have that law in Florida and out and we supported that a lot Florida one time -- over time.

Unfortunately became harder to support that law because of the way the immigration process began to unravel.

When I got elected -- legislature in the year 2000.

This issue of in state tuition this issue of illegal immigration was not a hot and heated issue the American people -- the most compassionate people in the world.

And we're very open -- immigration.

And then this illegal immigration problem keep getting worse and worse and worse and the people felt stronger and stronger about it.

And the political space to operate again -- or an -- by 200620072008.

The instate tuition idea became impossible and quite frankly evolved into a bad idea because of the situation that we were facing with illegal immigration.

I'm telling you that before this illegal immigration problem -- out of control these issues weren't -- because the American people and their heart are pro illegal immigration.
