Obama parody immigration reform-What it really means? - Video

CHICAGO Under huge U.S. and Mexican flags in a Chicago high school named for a Mexican president, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate President Obamas executive actions on immigration reform Saturday morning and vowed to fight to force Congress to extend protection to all 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
Stop whining, stop crying, Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said, speaking directly to Republicans who will take full control of Congress in the new year. You have a majority. Use it for the American people.
The mostly immigrant crowd gathered at Benito Juarez High School, named for Mexicos iconic 19th-century modernizer, stood for The Star-Spangled Banner and then cheered wildly for Gutierrez and other federal, state and local officials who spoke to them in English and Spanish in a ceremony filled with cheers, prayer and mariachi music. Gutierrez said Obama planned to come to Chicago on Tuesday to continue pressing his plan.
While the mood was celebratory, speaker after speaker cautioned the crowd that Obamas action was simply a first step. Noting the furious Republican reaction to the policy change, speakers urged Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
Our work is not done. This is the beginning, and Congress must finish the job the president started, said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obamas former chief of staff. The hard work now begins.

Emanuel said Republicans who criticized Obamas use of presidential executive actions to extend protection from deportation to about 4 million people forget that previous presidents have used executive actions to integrate the U.S. military and abolish slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation.
Emanuel said he wanted Chicago to be the gold standard for getting everyone who is eligible to apply under Obamas plan. He said Obamas actions would not be successful if undocumented immigrants did not step forward to apply when applications are available in June.
We want more. We want comprehensive immigration reform to reach out with justice to the millions who deserve it, said Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.). The he added in Spanish, Never give up the fight!
