00:00Use your executive order to halt deportation for all 11.5
00:04undocumented immigrants in this country right now.
00:07We agree that we need to pass
00:09RPS immigration reform at the same time.
00:12You have a power to stop deportation
00:16for all undocumented immigrants in this country.
00:16Actually, I don't. And that's why we're here.
00:18I need your help.
00:19Okay.
00:22Stop deportation!
00:23Thank you. All right.
00:24Stop deportation!
00:25What I'd like to do...
00:27No, no, don't worry about it, guys.
00:30Stop deportation!
00:31Let me finish.
00:32Let me finish.
00:33Stop deportation!
00:34How about, these guys don't need to go.
00:36Let me finish.
00:37No, no, no.
00:38He can stay there.
00:41Let me, hold on a second.
00:47Hold on a second.
00:50So, you know, I respect the passion of these young people
00:56because they feel deeply about the concerns for their families.
01:01Now, what you need to know when I'm speaking as President of the United States
01:07and I come to this community is that if, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so.
01:21But we're also a nation of laws.
01:23That's part of our tradition.
01:25And so, the easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our laws.
01:34And what I'm proposing is the harder path, which is to use our democratic processes to achieve the same goal that you want to achieve.
01:43But it won't be as easy as just shouting.
01:46It requires us lobbying and getting it done.
01:49So, the, uh, so, so for those of you who are committed to getting this done, I am going to march with you and fight with you every step of the way to make sure that we are welcoming every striving, hardworking immigrant who sees America the same way we do.
