~What are exactly Romneys Views on Immigration?~

Hello!
I'm not trying to sound like I'm bashing on Romney, I'm just trying to find out what are exactly Romneys views on Immigration.

I was having a conversation with a very good friend of mine on the topic, and basically me and my friend are both going for Romney; After hearing the second presidential debate last night she told me how if Romney is elected President, that she will basically be deported back to Mexico.

She was trying to explain why, but was not fully, not understandable, in why she would. Hearing her explanation, basically she is trying to become a United States Citizen, the process is taking forever, she is close to getting legal rights(?) (documentation, papers?) in being able to work here in the United States.

I'm just trying to find out what's Romneys View on Immigration.
Maybe she is misunderstanding something?

Thank you very much for your time in answering my question.
Respectfully,

Jeesh. Make Google your friend.

I have, and I can't find a good answer to my question.
Asking questions directly to people is a preferred way for me.

Please keep "Google it, bruh" comments out, it doesn't help anyone.

Here is some info:
Immigration | Mitt Romney for President

He thinks that illegals should be forced to leave because they have jumped in line in front of people who are trying to enter legally. Otherwise, he wants to make more room for foreign workers entering the US by increasing the number of people who can enter from various places (raising the cap) and by making it easier for people to get work Visa's like the H1-B which allow one to be here only for so long as they have a job. Unfortunately H1-B's are not the problem so much as it is the lack of access for unskilled workers (EW3's I think they are classified as) and the complete inability of the INS to process paper. Immigrants I know who have tried to adjust status say you almost have to apply to adjust before you ever enter because it takes so long and you have to resubmit your paperwork several times because the INS never verifies receipt, loses it, and then denies you because you supposedly never submitted the paperwork they lost at which point you have to start all over from the beginning again and again.

Here is some more:

In actuality, Romney sounded more moderate in the debate than he has in the past. He backed away from his earlier statements on the Dream Act. He suggested for the first time on a national stage that undocumented children in the United States should “have a pathway to permanent residence,” perhaps by joining the military. "Permanent residence" is the legal term for a green card, which leads to U.S. citizenship. Romney made a similar statement about the Dream Act to a reporter in Iowa last year, and he suggested legalization (but not citizenship) for military service in a speech to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in June.
