Since the publication of Part One of this post a few days ago, President Obama 
has decided not to nominate immigrant-rights advocate and attorney, Thomas 
Saenz, to head the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department. Saenz is 
currently Los Angeles mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa’s chief legal advisor, and he 
has a long history of commitment to civil rights. Combined with a recent speech 
in which Obama said that undocumented immigrants had violated our laws and 
would have to go to the back of the line and apply for legal admission to the 
country, the rejection of Saenz does not bode well for progressive immigration 
reform.
