Romney Responds to President Obama's Immigration Decision

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney reacted to President Obama's decision to ease deportation policy for some young people living in the country illegally.

"The action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution, because an executive order is, of course, just a short term matter," he said in front of his campaign bus in Milford, New Hampshire Friday

Romney ignored questions reporters shouted at him about whether he would overturn the president's decision.
