Immigration Rights Protester Interrupts Obama Speech 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama faces continued protests over his recent decision to
delay executive action on immigration reform. Obama had promised a broad
overhaul by the end of summer, including a potential new reprieve to
slow his record-breaking deportations. But last month, he delayed any
moves until after the upcoming midterm elections. While campaigning for
Democrats in Wisconsin on Tuesday, President Obama faced a disruption
from the crowd.

President Obama: "Hold on a second, young lady. Let me tell you
something. Let me tell you something. Hold on a second. It's alright.
The young lady is expressing her concern about immigration and the fact
that we don't have a comprehensive immigration bill. The problem is, she
should be protesting the Republicans who are blocking it in Congress.
That's what you should be doing. That's what she should be doing,
because I'm for it."
