While many Republicans denounced President Obama surprise Friday move on younger illegal immigrants, there was no sense in Washington, D.C. in recent days that Congress would seriously try to overturn that change anytime soon.
If you only paid attention to the Twitter account and web pages of Speaker John Boehner, you wouldn't even know there had been a decision by the feds to "not" enforce deportation laws against younger illegals who were brought here by the parents before age 16.
Out on the campaign trail, Mitt Romney was like Speaker Boehner in that both men kept their focus on economic matters, with Romney not even mentioning the immigration story in his stump speech.
Asked by reporters about the Obama move during a stop in New Hampshire, Romney clearly wasn't itching for a showdown.
