On 25 November 2013 , Ju Hong , a 24-year-old South Korean immigrant without legal documentation , shouted at Obama to use his executive power to stop deportation of illegal immigrants . Obama said " If , in fact , I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress , then I would do so . " " But we 're also a nation of laws , that 's part of our tradition , " he continued . " And so the easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our laws . And what I 'm proposing is the harder path , which is to use our democratic processes to achieve the same goal . " On December 29 , 2014 , New York City mayor Bill de Blasio was the target of this at his address to 884 police academy graduates at Madison Square Garden in the aftermath of the 2014 killings of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos
