Mitt Romney reiterated Monday night that he would veto the DREAM Act if elected president at the Republican debate in South Carolina. Here’s what he said:

“I’ve indicated I would veto the DREAM Act if provisions included in that act say that people who were here illegally — if they go to school here long enough, if they get a degree here — then they can become permanent residents,” he said during a GOP debate in South Carolina, in response to a question about how his immigration views would play with Latino voters. “I think that’s a mistake.”
