The DREAM Act he's coming back to your own personal story.

Right now as you know.

Republicans have opposed the passage of -- DREAM -- that would allow young people who -- in school in the military.

To get on a pathway to citizenship.

Do you support veterans.

I don't know.

I don't get so hung up on.

-- happiness -- citizenship portion of it.

I do believe it's important to put certain kids who were brought here in Atlanta parents whenever -- To put them into some -- legal status.

I think it even today if we -- it and these are going to be kids young adults who will.

Have gone to college or serve in the military at the end of the -- we're -- you don't want to be citizens anyway so -- My sense is it is that the better policy is to go ahead in including some kind of legislation provides in the pathway to citizenship.

But to me it's not absolutely necessary and I think -- Hispanic community quite frankly.

I think they would get hung up so hung up on not having -- -- legislation either for them I think from most majority of Hispanics what they want to see is it.

These kids be given an opportunity to stay in this country to go to school to serve in the military.

And -- -- citizens should parties is secondary as far as its.

Well in fact Marco Rubio -- Florida senator is now working on legislation just like that and we've seen I represented at least -- terrorists Illinois.

Say that he too wants to stop the deportations.

And that's the critical element.

And that's and that's not my perspective that's more on man I think that that again for many Hispanics.

That's what's really important but again that this thing we -- that the obesity plays it at the end of the day.

You know these are people that they're gonna want to stay here permanently public as her well -- it and serve in the military and so if that's we're gonna end up down the road.

Is that something to consider now.

Now when I asked you about -- governor Romney can do in terms reaching the Latino community you did not mention Marco Rubio.

Many Americans and many Republicans say that he is the number one choice to being on the ticket as Romney's running me.

In part to try to win over Latino vote is that -- spent.

I don't think I don't think people are gonna vote for -- we get around him.

Based upon me she uses as his numbers are really down I don't think it's gonna make it gives Hispanic community -- -- -- Governor Romney's policies and something that -- to simply don't agree with.

At the end of the day and I said this publicly I think.

Hey any nominee.

Should consider three things and she's human and the first and most important is this person to be president -- -- one case and -- enemy.

Second -- is a person who can help govern because is the vice president's often the last person in the Oval Office right before the president makes.

It's a decision and you want the vice president to be someone who has risen and that was was the only game is and to experience.

And then finally you know assuming those two criteria man is is he might choose someone as a running mate who helps you win that's an important state.

-- when you know particular segment.

The voting public.

Com so those are things that I would look at and down at the end of the day.

I don't think Hispanics are gonna support governor Romney seemed because he puts -- -- ticket or any any other Hispanic on the ticket.

It's gonna depend on foreign policies that they believed Enron chiefs do you know rubio I don't I don't -- -- obviously a very talented individual.

-- -- And you know the choice is a very personal -- an intern who who will be the money made and you know I hoped and prayed together.
