Hi there,

Please don’t turn away from this message. Democracy Now! is a free source of independent news for tens of millions of people around the world, but less than 1% of our global audience donates to support our critical journalism. Let’s pick up the percentage! Today, a generous contributor will DOUBLE your donation to Democracy Now!, which means if you give $10, we’ll get $20. Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to double your impact. Democracy Now! doesn't accept advertising income, corporate underwriting or government funding because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence. We rely on you for support—and we’re counting on you right now. I hope you’ll give as much as you can today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thanks so much.

As Obama delays immigration reform action, Aviva Chomsky joined us Friday to discuss how “illegality” and “undocumentedness” are concepts that were created to exclude and exploit. Read an excerpt from her new book, Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal.

We also spoke with Pablo Alvarado, director of of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. See more immigration coverage on Democracy Now!
