Mitt Romney softened his tone on federal student loan aid and illegal immigrants while campaigning in Pennsylvania alongside Marco Rubio, the first potential running mate to stump with him since Romney became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Romney today sided with President Barack Obama on a push to temporarily freeze interest rates on government-subsidized loans -- due to double on July 1. He also said he is reviewing a proposal by Rubio, a Florida senator, to permit visas for some children brought to the U.S. illegally by their immigrant parents.
