Romney, who is poised to face Obama in the November 6 election, questioned the Democratic president’s timing in an interview aired on Sunday on the CBS program “Face the Nation.”
“If he really wanted to make a solution that dealt with these kids or with illegal immigration in America, then this is something he would have taken up in his first 3 1/2 years, not in his last few months,” Romney said.
Asked if he thought Obama’s order was motivated by politics, Romney said, “That’s certainly a big part of the equation…”
During the CBS interview, Romney was asked repeatedly whether he would repeal the Obama policy if elected president, but did not offer a direct answer. “My anticipation is I’d come into office and say we need to get this done on a long-term basis, not this kind of stop-gap measure,” Romney said.
Very good. I agree.
