Pro-immigration protesters interrupt Joe Biden's closing statement at debate

Former Vice President Joe Biden's closing statement was interrupted by protesters at Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate.

As Biden began his remarks, demonstrators began shouting about the Obama administration's record on deportations.

After the protesters were removed, Biden defended his record.

"I think it's important that on day one we deal with the Senate and get an immigration bill to the desk," he said. "The only person in here that has a worse record on immigration is Bernie because Bernie voted against the 2007 bill. Had that immigration bill passed, there would be 6 million members would be now American citizens."
