President Obama’s campaign on Sunday pounced on Mitt Romney after he declined to say whether he would repeal the administration’s decision to not deport certain young people brought into the country illegally, saying the GOP hopeful had shown a “lack of political courage and leadership.”
Asked about whether he would repeal the new policy on CBS’s “Face the Nation”, Romney vowed to seek long-term immigration reform, but avoided a clear stance on Obama’s new deportation policies.
“Well, it would be overtaken by events if you will, by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution with legislation which creates law that relates to these individuals such that they know what their setting is going to be, not just for the term of a president but on a permanent basis,” said Romney.
