About 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States lack fundamental rights such as education-related financial aid.

During his campaign for the presidency, Barack Obama, the US president, promised to overhaul immigration laws.

But more than a year after he came into office, US authorities have deported more than 500,000 people.
