BOSTON (The Boston Globe) - Mitt Romney’s newly unveiled Hispanic Steering Committee includes a cosponsor and at least five other supporters of the Development, Relief and Education for Minors (DREAM) Act, the proposed legislation that would pave the way to citizenship for some illegal immigrant youths, which Romney opposes.
The Romney campaign on Wednesday announced the members of the committee, called “Juntos con Romney,” which means “Together with Romney.” The formation of the committee represents one of Romney’s most concerted efforts to date to reach out to Hispanic voters, with whom he trails President Obama by 34 points, according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll.
