Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum speaks to the media during a visit to La Fortaleza, the governor's mansion, to meet with Governor Luis Fortuno, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"Even Hispanic Republican voters would like to see a new immigration law and would like to see the DREAM Act pass," he says, referring to legislation that would create a path to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants if they attend a four year college or join the U.S. Military. "And the Republicans just have a terrible, terrible position on those issues when it comes to that community."
Santorum and Romney are the only candidates to have campaigned in Puerto Rico, with rivals former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul opting to stump in other upcoming primary states, including Illinois and Louisiana.
