Romney Would Repeal Obama’s Executive Action on Immigration 21 Jun 2012 Mitt Romney will face a skeptical audience that is opposed to nearly all of his positions on illegal immigration when he addresses a conference of Latino leaders in Orlando on Thursday. Romney has come under growing pressure on the immigration issues ever since President Obama announced a White House policy change that halts the deportations of some undocumented youth. In his speech Thursday, Romney will again say that as president, he would implement an immigration plan that would replace Obama’s rule.
