Whatever the details of President Obama’s planned immigration overhaul, the stakes are particularly high for California.
The state has the largest number of people who are in the country illegally, and many have especially deep roots.
The changes could bring some form of legal status to hundreds of thousands of immigrants here and benefit two of the state’s leading industries: technology and agriculture. They will also undoubtedly leave some immigrants out — dividing families and the immigrant community into those who qualify for relief and those who don’t.
