McCain: Romney knows self-deportation is not 'the entire answer'
Quote:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made an appeal to Hispanic voters Monday, saying that that Mitt Romney would address "the need for immigration reform" and that the presumptive GOP presidential nominee did not think self-deportation was "the entire answer to the issue."<br />
“He is solidly in favor of immigration reform,” said McCain about Romney, in an interview with Fox News Latino. “He knows that there are 12 million people who are in this country illegally. He knows you have to address it. He has also stated, recently, and I’m happy to say, that we have to address it in a humane fashion(lies).”

McCain acknowledged, though, that the GOP needed to move forward with immigration reform to win Hispanic immigrants.<br />
The Arizona lawmaker went on to pledge that Romney would develop his immigration platform throughout the campaign.
“Look, Mitt Romney understands that we have a challenge with the Hispanic voter. I believe, as this campaign moves on, that you will see him addressing this issue of the need for immigration reform. We all know what we need to happen.”
