GRITtv: Is Immigration Reform Dead?
Immigration reform is hardly the front page issue it was one year ago, even though thousands of immigrants end up in detention centers every year. More than 90 immigrants have died in detention in the last few years and the cost of maintaining these facilities is about $1.7 billion. The facts on the ground haven't changed, so where does the movement stand? And is there a real possibility for reform under Obama? Roberto Lovato, Associate Editor at New America Media, Mallika Dutt, Executive Director of Breakthrough, Ravi Ragbir who spent two years in immigration detention and is a member of Families for Freedom, and Lynn Tramonte, Deputy Director of America's Voice on the state of immigration reform.

Dead this year
The president is making his healt care reform the priority this year and he does not have the support to push for immigration reform at the same time, even though he will not come out and say so. So 2010 is the time where this battle will stand and probably be lost again.
