DREAMer Questions President’s Inaction on Immigration
Here is a report on the speech by President Obama at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) Gala earlier this week. “To those hoping that the President would announce encouraging specifics about his plans to take deportation relief executive action after the midterm elections, his overly broad comments were disappointing. To those hoping to embarrass and pressure the President through a picket outside the event and a heckler inside, were probably disappointed that the largely black tie audience and Latino Congressional leaders were polite and even fawning.”
The President reiterated his support for comprehensive immigration report and blamed the failure to enact legislation on the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. DREAMer Blanca Hernandez from the audience yelled to complain about the failure of the President to take executive action. Watch the video above to see the interruptions.
