DemocracyNow.org - Addressing the plight of some 11 million undocumented people currently living in the United States, President Obama's State of the Union address emphasized the benefits of comprehensive immigration reform. Obama urged Congress to send him legislation to sign into law in the next few months. We get reaction on what Obama didn't say -- namely, his record levels of deportations -- from Aura Bogado, a reporter who covers immigration and racial justice for The Nation.
