"No Democratic presidential candidate has laid out as detailed an immigration plan as Martin O'Malle

Martin O'Malley." Read Governor O'Malley's interview with the LA Times: http://omly.us/1O0O8bP

A talk with the most aggressively pro-immigrant candidate in the race
No Democratic presidential candidate has laid out as detailed an immigration plan as Martin O'Malley.

The former Maryland governor has pledged to take executive action to shield from deportation roughly 11 million immigrants in the country illegally, and he has vowed to restrict collaboration between local jails and federal immigration agents.

His proposals have won him praise from immigrant advocates -- but not a wide base of support. O'Malley continues to trail far behind former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

O'Malley was in Los Angeles on Friday for some fundraising and campaign events. We talked to him about his immigration proposals and his place in the race.

I'm unknown right now. But all that is about to change. >>>

He has added 4 percent and growing daily. Don't count him out.

At one point he was up to 7% (Iowa or NH, I forget which.) And debate is happening.
