BRUNSWICK, Ohio (AP) — Mitt Romney is refusing to say that he would overturn President Barack Obama's new policy allowing some young illegal immigrants to stay in the United States.
The Republican presidential candidate tells CBS” ”Face the Nation” that if he’s president, Obama’s executive order “would be overtaken by events … by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution.”
Romney was asked three times in the interview if he would overturn Obama’s order, but he didn’t directly answer the question. Instead, he said would work to pass a law to help those young people who were “brought in by their parents through no fault of their own.” Romney said he doesn’t know why Obama “feels stop-gap measures are the right way to go.”
The candidate’s comments represent a further softening of his rhetoric on immigration since the GOP primary campaign ended.

I agree with post 20. Obama wants to divert the discussion from the bad economy and this fake amnesty is one of his diversions. Romney has to keep the focus on the economy. Not disagreeing is not endorsing. It is obvious Obama has unconstitutionally exceeded his executive power and this won’t stand.
We do have to make sure the elections are honest as AG Holder is using attacks on voter ID and FL purging non-citizens as a way to fake the vote. Nation wide we have to get the GOP to have pool watchers at every ballot box-volunteer if you can!
We are truly in the Kobiashi Maru scenario.
That's because they are not patriotic.
Crickets chirping for this RINO on this issue and on the homosexual military issue!
Mitt is being careful with his words not because he thinks it’s a trap by Obama, Mitt is being careful with his words because he agrees with Obama
“2016 can’t come soon enough - no matter who is in the White House.”
You’re assuming we are going to make it to 2016.
Romney is as smart as a smart DUMBASS RINO! Strategery my ass!
Americans are not stupid and would welcome a conservative LEADER that could multitask -RATHER than a limp wristed RINO that is afraid of a conservative shadow!
Why bother to have laws? Obama’s order will resonate throughout the world...come on in to America..we have an open door policy.
Playing the election game one has to be careful how questions are answered. Don’t put any real stock in what Romney says, but remember what is said or not said results in possible voters. We have to just rely on faith that Romney will be one hell of a lot better than the current communists dictator. Otherwise would be idiotic.
Good characterization.
Mr. Romney is in a quagmire up to his earlobes.
If he keeps fumbling and waffling he could cause the House to go Democrat(er.. even more Democrat but with a correct name{.
TWB
C’mon now, you can’t expect Romney to take a position before his focus groups and polling data comes in and he meets with his strategists.
If anyone was still in any doubt this guy is a complete and total empty suit, this should do it.
Yes, and up is down, and right is left, and black is white, and conservative is liberal, and winning is losing...
Blah blah blah... Romney is a true conservative because he does not make conservative statements based upon conservative principles so he can win the election and THEN come out of the conservative closet?
The Romney apologists around here must be on some strong drugs!
A careless reader might parse this headline as “Romney says he won’t overturn immigration order.” But that’s not what’s being said here.
We agree on that.
It is realistic to put stock(not some Bain Capital scam)
and look at what he has done.
Appoint radical liberal judges, pro gay marriage, tough anti gun laws..

Two words for the detractors. “Justice Holder.”
Mitt could support fetishism as long as Barack Hussein Obama does not get to name the next three justices of the Supreme Court.
Ah, finally, at least one "Honest" Hate-Romney Freep.
Just as I thought; there are some here (which I was under the misapprehension?) was a CONSERVATIVE site, but alas I was mistaken, considering those (like yourself) who would as soon see our FASCIST, NEO-COMMIE, ISLAMIC-JIHADIST/MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD-Appeaser/Defender/Supporter, reelected, so that he can continue for another 4 years, unobstructed in his quest to HARM--if not DESTROY--our Republic...which no matter how much of a wuss, flip-flopping, RIHO Mittens is, he has never said or done anything which is even close to what our Community Agitator has.
Makes we want to barf!!!
PS: Yeah, with 10+ RINO's in the Senate and with the Weeper of the House (Bone-er) who have done nothing at all to oppose any of Dear Leader's Unconstitutional Ex Orders, Diktats and end runs around Congress using Czars and Agencies such as the EPA, are you really that clueless, dense, ignorant or demented to actually believe that the Pubes will keep him in check???
Hey, Bammy is one on the barby rotisserie spit about it, why should Mitt speak out and become the story.
