Obama heckled in Chicago during immigration speech
About 20 minutes into President Barack Obama's remarks on immigration in Chicago, three hecklers interrupted the president.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- About 20 minutes into President Barack Obama's remarks on immigration in Chicago, three hecklers interrupted the president and accused him of not doing enough to stop deporting immigrants.

After patiently listening to them, Obama responded by saying "Ok, now, I heard you, I heard you, and I heard you. Nobody's removing you, but you've got to listen to me, too. We've got to be able to talk honestly about these issues."

Obama went on to say that "what you're not paying attention to" is that he just took an action to change immigration law.

"Though I understand why you may have yelled at me a month ago, although I disagree with some of your characterizations, it doesn't make sense to yell at me right now," Obama said.
