ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Immigrant student activists in New Mexico and the state's chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens are faulting GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for vowing to veto the DREAM Act.

Students and the members of the Latino civil rights group are holding a news conference Friday to denounce Romney's promise.

Under the bill, some immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally would have a route to legal status through military service or college enrollment.
