OBAMA: Issued directive in June that immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they apply.
ROMNEY: Favors U.S.-Mexico border fence, opposes education benefits to illegal immigrants. Opposes offering legal status to illegal immigrants who attend college, but would do so for those who serve in the armed forces. place a comprehensive immigration plan before those permits expire.


GAY RIGHTS

OBAMA: Supports legal recognition of same-sex marriage, a matter decided by states.
ROMNEY: Opposes legal recognition of same-sex marriage. ''Marriage is not an activity that goes on within the walls of a state.'' Also opposes civil unions ''if they are identical to marriage other than by name.''
