Aug. 22, 2012 - RACINE, Wis. -- Alarmed by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate, Ryan constituents from the Latino community spoke out at a news conference at outside their representative's offices.
"As my Congressman, Rep. Ryan has been no friend of mine or the Latino community," said Maria Morales. "The whole country needs to know him the way we do right here in his district."
Brenda, a 23-year-old mother of two whose application for deferred action on deportation is one of the first under review after President Obama's executive order, also will speak. "I grew up in Racine. This is my home and my children's home," she said. "Ryan voted against the DREAM Act and hasn't lifted a finger to help people like me who came to this country as babies."
Rep. Ryan voted against the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act in 2010. In 2005, he supported the controversial Sensenbrenner bill (HR 4437) that would have turned pastors, social workers, and others into felons for offering services to undocumented workers.
