Potential 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal declared he would repeal President Barack Obama's "deferred action" programs to protect undocumented immigrants if he won the White House.

After speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C., last week, the Louisiana governor opened up about why he would immediately reverse Obama's "illegal" executive orders if he is elected president.

Late last year, Obama took executive action to allow immigrants who were illegally brought to the U.S. as small children, commonly known as "DREAMers," to stay in the country through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. Obama also plans to protect the parents of "DREAMers" through the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA, program. It is estimated that the president's initiative would temporarily defer the deportations of five million undocumented immigrants.

"You talked about immigration in your speech, would you end DACA and DAPA if you are elected president?" a reporter asked Jindal.

"Look, I think that we have got to stop all the unconstitutional executive orders, the end-runs around the law that this president has done," the Republican governor said in response. "He may not like the law, but his job is not to change the law. Congress, we have a lot of folks running for office saying 'give me a Republican majority and I will reign in this president.' I am disappointed they did not do that."

Jindal, who is the son of immigrant parents, went on to say that he is "glad the courts at least for now have suspended some of his illegal executive orders, but obviously that is still on appeal."

He continued, saying: "Absolutely, all these need unconstitutional, illegal executive orders; these unilateral actions need to go away."

According to NOLA.com, Jindal, the first Indian-American governor in the U.S, is set to announce his presidential campaign in New Orleans on June 24.
