Hecklers interrupt Obamas speech about immigration at Chicago https://youtube/watch?v=kIeOj9TdlEg U.S President Barack Obama was interrupted several times by hecklers during a speech on his immigration policy at Chicago. About midway through his speech, three protesters strategically placed around the auditorium rose and began criticizing his deportation policy, saying he hasnt just been deporting criminals. You have been deporting families, one heckler shouted. Obama listened and asked them to stop yelling. What youre not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law, so thats point No. 1, Obama said. Point No. 2, the way the change in the law works is that were reprioritizing how we enforce our immigration laws generally. The point is that though I understand why you might have yelled at me a month ago, although I disagree with some of your characterizations, it doesnt make much sense to yell at me right now when were making changes, he said as the audience of approximately 1,800 people applauded. But the point is, lets make sure that you get the facts and that you know exactly what were doing, Obama said. He directed them to appeal to the immigration advocacy groups the administration has worked with on the issue if they still disagree with his policies. What wont work is folks just shouting at each other, he said. Ive been respectful. I responded to your question. Id ask you now to let me speak to all the other people who are here. All right? #obama #immigration #chicago https://youtube/watch?v=kIeOj9TdlEg
