Latinos for Obama or Romney? Presidential Nominees Seek Popularity Among Latinos

With just under 70 days to go until voters elect the next president of the United States of America, incumbent President Barack Obama has laid out his accomplishments for Latino Americans.

In June, President Obama signed an executive order that allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children to remain in the country without fear of deportation and able to work. The order did not give any permanent legal status, but clears the way for young illegal immigrants to work legally and obtain driver's licenses and many other documents they have lacked.

The Department of Homeland Security can no longer initiate the deportation of illegal immigrants who came to the United States before age 16, have lived here for at least five years, and are in school, are high school graduates or are military veterans in good standing.

In his fight to help Hispanics get back to work, Obama touts sending more than 3.2 million Hispanics to the Department Of Labor's Wagner Peyser Job Training Program in a single year and providing $4 billion to bring more Hispanics online and providing training needed for today's jobs.

According to the campaign, Obama has cut payroll taxes for 25 million Latinos, and loan $2.4 billion to Latino-owned small businesses.

Under the Affordable Care Act, in 2014, 9 million currently uninsured Latinos will have access to affordable health care.

The president said he is providing assistance to the 39 percent of all Latinos undergraduates by doubling funding for Pell Grants.
