4. They're praising Romney for his immigration speech

"...As for Romney's own speech yesterday, it was pretty strong -- especially considering the high degree of difficulty (a polite but not enthusiastic crowd, issue terrain that's rocky for him). What's more, he put some meat on the bones of his immigration policy (for example, reallocate green cards to ensure that spouses and children of legal permanent residents get to stay with their families, grant green cards to those who get advanced degrees in the U.S). ..."

Romney said nothing new. Under current law, an alien filing for permanent residence can have all immediate family members ride on his own petition. Aliens who get advanced degrees almost all qualify for green cards eventually either under the national interest waiver, as an alien with extraordinary ability, or an advanced degree outstanding researcher or professor. Romney engaged in nothing but empty talk.
