Romney Promises to Let Immigrants Keep Work Visas from Obama Temporary Relief
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he would honor temporary work permits for young undocumented immigrants who were allowed to stay in the U.S. because of President Barack Obama's new temporary policy of so-called "deferred action."
In an interview appearing in Tuesday's Denver Post, Romney said that people who are able to earn the two-year visas to stay and work wouldn't see them revoked under his administration. However, Romney did not say whether or not he would undo Obama's plan for future applicants.
