On Wednesday afternoon in the nation’s capital, Mitt Romney will speak to the Latino Coalition’s annual economic summit, the latest attempt by the presumptive Republican nominee to make inroads into the country’s fastest-growing voting bloc.

Rubio is expected to hammer Obama’s record when he addresses the Latino Coalition hours after Romney. By failing to fulfill his campaign promise to enact comprehensive immigration reform – even with two years of a Democratic-controlled Congress – Obama has left himself open to criticism of his record with Latinos. The nation’s largest Spanish-language newspaper, La Opinion, recently urged Obama to “do something concrete” to help the type of youngsters who would have benefited from the enactment of the Dream Act, which failed to pass the Senate in a vote in late 2010. The newspaper implored Obama to “offer administrative relief to young people who meet basic requirements: being here undocumented, being students or former students (many are graduates without job options that match their degrees), showing good behavior and not having a criminal background, among others.”
“Romney himself has attacked Obama for promising to tackle the immigration problem and not fulfilling the promises. Empty words, but they could make a dent,” the newspaper warned. “Our message to the White House: more action and fewer words. Providing administrative relief to the Dreamers will say more than running 100 ads in Spanish.”

What's the likelihood of an EO before the elections? He's got to drive up turnout among immigrants and Hispanics, but it could back fire and drive up turnout among the crazies/fringe element in the Republican Party. I just hate the lack of leadership on this.
