AP- Activists, lawyers, religious individuals and now congressman Luis Gutierrez (Illinois Democrat) called a march for the State of The Union address of the immigration questoin. Gutiérrez and seven other demoratic congressmen proposed a reform that would grant undocumented immigrants without criminal histories, english speaking abilities and tax paying immigrants permanent residency with just one fee and five years later they could be granted citizenship
Congress maintains silence, which motivated the march. Obama won the Latino Vote by promising he would create and propose a generous and comprehensive immigration reform and so far all he has done is spare less than one minute during his whole 64 minute speech to address immigration. Immigration reform is obviously NOT on President Obama's agenda or list of things-to-do.
