Romney: We Have a Moral Responsibility to Take in Afghan Refugees

EXCERPT:

ROMNEY: "Well, I don't really know, of course. But I believe, in their heart of hearts, they recognize that we have a moral responsibility. And, in keeping with our national character, we welcome people into our country who seek asylum, and those particularly who have fought alongside our troops and have enabled our troops to have a higher degree of safety than they would have had otherwise, that those are people to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, and we would welcome them into our country. Look, I — I think it's one of the characteristics of our great nation that we are a nation that welcomes with open arms our friends from around the world. And don't forget, we're talking about, I don't know, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, maybe 50,000 Afghans. How many people are coming across the border illegally? That number is exceeded almost every month.”
