US election: Mitt Romney accuses Barack Obama of playing politics with immigration

Yet no new law has been passed, and Mr Obama’s directive to immigration
officials to stop deporting young illegal immigrants could easily be
scrapped by a new president when he leaves office.

Mr Romney, however, declined five times on Sunday to say if he would repeal
the order. “There needs to be a long-term solution so they know what
their status is,” said the former Massachusetts governor.

The interview highlighted how Mr Obama had wrong-footed his Republican
opponent, who is struggling to balance appealing to Latino voters with
reassuring the conservative base of his party.

Mr Romney took a strident line on immigration during his party primary contest
and pledged to veto the Dream Act, a plan to overhaul the migration system,
on which Mr Obama’s scheme is based.
