Immigration Divides Romney And His Church
posted on June 26, 2012BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins writes that Romney’s views on immigration are at odds with an increasingly pro-immigration LDS Church. The church recently endorsed “a legislative resolution that discouraged deporting otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants.” Coppins notes that “during the primaries, Romney blasted illegal immigrants.” However, in a speech last Thursday at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), “Romney dialed down the rhetoric … promising to ‘reallocate green cards to those seeking to keep their families under one roof,’” Coppins writes. “But many of his Mormon skeptics remain unconvinced.”
