Watch Obama Struggle to Quiet Hecklers Upset About Immigration
Gabriella Morrongiello /
President Obama yesterday struggled to quiet hecklers who claim his executive action on immigration didn’t go far enough.
During a speech Tuesday at Chicago’s Copernicus Center, a group of women interrupted the president to demand that he end all deportations of illegal immigrants.

“Not one more. Stop deportations,” yelled the initial female heckler, whom the president engaged in a back-and-forth debate that lasted about five minutes.
According to CBS Chicago, another heckler told Obama to “stop blaming Republicans” for the nation’s crumbling immigration system.
In an attempt to make light of the situation, Obama joked, “It’s good to be back in Chicago, ‘cause everybody’s got something to say.”
