1. "I share your view" "We should clap for those young people" Can you imagine what it must feel

like? to come home and your Mother or Father is gone...

2. Heckled?

I guess 'protested loudly' is reserved for more popular issues.

3. Why interrupt Joe? He has no real power to do anything. Why not go after the repubs who want to

build a wall? The administration is just following the law it's not like they take joy in deporting anybody unlike republicans who would probably shoot at illegals if it weren't against the law.

4. So amazing how stupid Americans are!

Blame the wrong people. Refuse to hold Republicans accountable for destroying this country

5. So...they're

basically heckling/protesting because of the administration following the law. It's not their fault that we've got such an effed-up immigration system. Pres. O has actually tried to do something about it and put pressure on Congress to change the laws, but the Republicans have been unwilling to cooperate.
How hard is it for people to hold the real culprits of this responsible (the GOP) and to understand that the make-up of Congress has to be changed before we start seeing some progress with this? It's like a recurring theme where this administration gets the Lion's share of the blame for things that Congress has jurisdiction over.

6. The VP handled the interruption well and he said, "I share your view"

It must be very upsetting to be a person who grew up in America, lived here for decades and come home to deported family members.

Family/friends who also lived here for so many years they don't even have any connections, of where ever they were deported to!
