Mayor Villaraigosa accuses Romney of immigration 'amnesia'

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa accused Mitt Romney of having “amnesia” on immigration reform, taking the Republican presidential candidate to task for saying that President Obama’s recent changes to federal immigration policies had done “nothing.”
Contending that congressional deadlock over the contentious issue left Obama with no choice, Villaraigosa praised the president’s announcement that deportation of young undocumented immigrants would be put on hold for two years.
“The fact is the president has done what we should do, and that is addressed the fact that these kids have been living here for most of their lives,” he said during an appearance on CBS’s “Meet the Nation.”
Villaraigosa, who is a co-chairman of Obama’s reelection campaign, said that Romney needs to “come clean” on what his immigration policies would be if elected.
