UNDOCUMENTED YOUTH ASK: "ROMNEY WOULD YOU OVERTURN OBAMA'S NEW IMMIGRATION DECISION"

WHO: Florida Undocumented Youth & Educators

WHAT: Rally at NALEO Conference demanding Romney respond to whether he would overturn new immigration policy. 

WHEN: June 21, 2012  11:30AM

WHERE: Disney's Contemporary Resort, 4600 North World Drive

Lake Buena Vista, FL – During an interview with "Face the Nation," Mitt Romney refused to answer whether he would overturn President Obama's new directive to stop the deportation of undocumented youth. Romney backed off and instead spoke about border security.  He then talked about E-Verify, an important part of his "Self-Deportation" strategy for undocumented immigrants that unveiled during the primaries.   

Undocumented youth eagerly look forward to see the President's new policy fully implemented. But the Latino community is beginning to wonder whether Romney would take away the protection for DREAMers. Beginning tomorrow at the NALEO conference, DREAMers will escalate their actions until Romney supports the President's new immigration policy or until he responds whether he would overturn the President's policy. 

For all those who have been waiting, in some cases decades, for the DREAM Act, the President's directive is a long-overdue breath of fresh air, and a signal that undocumented youth can truly move on with their lives and contribute to this country they call home. In the end, Mitt Romney has an alarming record on immigration, vetoing in-state tuition for undocumented students in his own state, promising to veto the federal DREAM Act, and supporting SB1070.
