Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Sunday Dreamers, children of immigrants brought into the country illegally, should get legal status.

“Well, it’s been put in place by President Obama and I believe we have a responsibility to fulfill what is a presidential pledge and commitment. So that’s in the past. I would provide legal status for those Dreamers in the country,” Romney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that shields these individuals from deportation.
