Mitt Romney came to this gritty, industrial community in western Miami-Dade Tuesday to receive enthusiastic endorsements from Miami U.S. Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart and former Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart.  

In the last election cycle, the three had backed candidate John McCain, who won the Florida primary. 

The three said they disagree with Romney on immigration policy; all three support the Dream Act and a path toward legal residency for law-abiding undocumented aliens in the U.S.   

Romney calls that "amnesty" and a "magnet" for illegal immigration. 

"It is a privilege to be here supporting you, governor, because you will be the next president of the United States," Mario Diaz-Balart told a crowd of about 150 Romney supporters gathered at the Conchita Foods warehouse. 

"The three amigos are back," said Ros-Lehtinen said.  "We had the right horse the last time and we have the right horse this time, Mitt."

Romney beamed as Ros-Lehtinen spoke. 

The Republican hopeful did not mention immigration policy or Cuba in his remarks to a predominantly Cuban-American audience.  He did condemn the Castro regime for seizing Conchita Foods after taking power in Cuba and praised the Ferro family, which owns the business, for its success in re-establishing it in South Florida. 

"The president did not do what he needed to do," Romney told the crowd.  "He needed to create jobs, and he didn’t.  Of course, it helps to have had a job, and Barack Obama never had a job."
