Reporter interrupts Obama during remarks on immigration policy WASHINGTON -- President Obamaon Friday announced a change in rules he says would "mend" immigration policy, answering questions shouted at him at an afternoon news conference where the president argued that some illegal immigrants pose no threat to U.S. workers. Letting a "young person serving in our military" remain in the country, or allowing a longtime resident to start a business, only helps the country, Obama responded to Neil Munro of the Daily Caller website. Munro had interrupted the president as he delivered a statement about his administration's new immigration policy, asking why Obama wants to let foreign workers compete for American jobs at a time of high unemployment. Afterward, Munro identified himself to journalists by name and as a "reporter asking questions," and hurriedly left the Rose Garden, saying he was going to write a story. The exchange came as Obama announced a new policy at his Department of Homeland Security, which will immediately stop deportation procedures for some young illegal immigrants who entered the country as children, have stayed out of trouble and gone on to attend school or serve in the military. In a story posted on the Daily Caller website Friday, Munro described the policy this way: "President Barack Obama is using his control over government agencies to establish a semi-amnesty for younger illegal immigrants, even though the nation's youth unemployment rate is already at a record level." The website was founded by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and started in part with funding from Wyoming financier Foster Friess, a GOP donor. Obama argued there is no harm in empowering many "dreamers" who come to this country as children and, because of the actions of their parents or "the inaction of Congress," do not have legal status. They are Americans, he said, in "every single way but one, on paper." Obama has supported legislation, known as the Dream Act, that would establish a path to citizenship for younger illegal immigrants who meet specific criteria, but the legislation has repeatedly stalled in Congress.
