No Chicago homecoming for Obama on immigration

President Obama was forced to repeatedly confront hecklers during a speech in his hometown of Chicago on Tuesday meant to promote executive action on immigration reform, as he accused the detractors of “not paying attention” to his recent efforts.

It’s not uncommon for Obama to engage with protesters at events, but Tuesday’s exchange was notable because it came after he took executive action to protect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. The back-and-forth also lasted far longer than it typically does in such settings.
