Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney refused to endorse Florida Senator and prospective running-mate Marco Rubio's DREAM Act GOP alternative proposal that would allow young undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States to work or study. Though Romney passed on supporting the proposed measure, he added that there were provisions to "commend" in it and that his campaign would "study the issue."
The questions on immigration came as Romeny and Rubio were on the campaign trail together in Pennsylvania, on Monday, a day before the state's primary.
Rubio's still-evolving bill would allow young undocumented immigrants who graduated from high school and have no criminal record to obtain a nonimmigrant visa. They could stay in the United States, obtain a drivers' license and work or continued their studies but would have no special path to citizenship. Rubio has said his goal is to craft a Republican compromise on the so-called DREAM Act in time for the upcoming Fall semester that Romney could support.
