So let me get this right, Romney wants more legal immigrants to work in the USA while it is suffering from under-educated and unemployed populous. Is that right? Well, President Obama would like to fill those jobs with Americans properly trained and educated to have a sustainable job.
Additionally, why would any capitalist, which Romney is, want to bring immigrants to the USA? For profit. Lower wages and increased profit margins that's why. And for Universities with any drop in resident attendance due to cost; they can receive a lot more money for immigrant students on a visa, too.
I do not trust his judgement. If he wants to increase the number of F visas, that sort of make sense, however, if this is simply a manner to admit illegals into the country then say that and bring it to the forefront of the immigration debate. Increasing the number of F(amily) Visas is also not going to solve the problem the USA is facing today.

...“We have been made very much aware of the growing cross border problems occurring in many border towns. We have had many reports of people crossing over from the United States into Mexico, apparently seeking inexpensive gasoline. Many of these individuals are not possessing correct paperwork and in fact are travelling across the border illegally, something we are determined to put a stop to,” said a Mexican government official. “Gasoline and oil are a precious resource and something very much close to the hearts of many Mexicans. We cannot tolerate individuals invading our sovereign space in order to exploit the hard work of the Mexican people. This is not simply an issue of economics, it is also one of sovereignty and something that we must change to protect the long term survival of our nation.”...
