views to the president. some people, but not all, have been protesting this country's immigration policy, asking the government to stop its deportation of undocumented immigrants. th immigration reform is the topic of the president's speech this morning. as you just mentioned, he landed at sfo in the past 20 minutes or so for what will be a five-hour stay in the bay area. his motorcade is en route. he's trying to push congress to change the way the united states treats guests who come here. . >> we want to stop families from being broken up. we want to support the kids, that means the parents as well. >> he's deported more people than any other president in the history of this country. i think he was doing it in part to show he could be tough. really, what we need is not toughness on immigration. what we need is a solution.

>> are you still as enthusiastic about him as when you voted for him? >> i'm here this morning. >> reporter: later, the president will attend a fundraising lunch at the sf jazz center. the democratic national committee had such a hard time selling out that event that they actually had to slash the price of each ticket from $1,000 to $500 in order to generate more sales. even though sf leans heavily democratic, that's no secret, the president isn't as popular as he was during his last visit, in part because of the nsa spying scandal and the glitchy rollout of the affordable health care act's website. now, that website is certainly an issue that could come up during a tech round table discussion later this afternoon. that will include the ceo of sales force and then the president will be back on air force one for his trip south to l.a. live look inside the recreation center here in chinatown. that's the podium where the president is expected to be speaking at. we're assuming within the next half hour. it was mentioned he's en route from sfo. you figure with the drive time
