President Obama's move on immigration is paying off politically.

A whopping 64% of likely voters told Bloomberg they support the Obama order to let 800,000 young undocumented migrants stay in the U.S. to study or work.

Democrats are playing up the issue.

"Mitt Romney is AWOL on this! Mitt, if you can hear us where do you stand?" asked California's Rep. Xavier Becerra.

Romney was in Michigan, not talking immigration, but instead, warning that President Obama's doing with the U.S. economy what European leaders at the G-20 summit decided today to do in Europe: Spend more to put people to work.

Not on Romney's bus trip, like others said to be under consideration for his vice presidential slot, is Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who proposed an immigration plan like the president's.

"I think immigration is a very important issue in the Hispanic community because it's a personal one. It's not a statistic," Rubio said on CNBC Tuesday.

Other Republicans are moving to block what they call the Obama immigration "stunt".

It's left Mitt Romney in the middle.

Republican leaders say they're waiting to hear what romney wants to do on immigration.

snydergal,

I see you scold other posters here when they don't stay on topic. Are your comments germane to the article here? I don't mind reading whatever it is you want to say, I just don't think you should yell at others for doing something you do often.

Everyone needs to do some in-depth research about what willard intends to do concerning your economic future...anyone making under $200,000 will have the "opportunity" to kick in up to an additional $4,000 in taxes per year while the uber-wealthy may see a tax benefit of up to $400,000...he has stated, point blank, that there will be no increase in tax liability for 1%ers...if jobs and the economy are your main concerns, do your homework...willard will destroy this country! OBAMA 11/6/2012.

willard mittens is AWOL on any subject that could move this country forward for all Americans, all those who are striving to make a better life for themselves and contributing to the country they now call home. willard is incapable of giving an opinion on substantive issues because his owners, the Koch brothers, mega-corporations, and secret donors have yet to tell him what to say. He is beholden to those who are attempting to buy him the White House...and we will pay his debt to all of them.
