A new report from the Pew Research Center estimates that California is home to 2.5 million undocumented immigrants, more than any other state. Many of those immigrants' lives may change dramatically if President Obama takes executive action to shield some of them from deportation. Advocates anticipate Mr. Obama could make an announcement as early as this week -- and California farmworkers are among those pressuring him to do so. Some of them are part of a group of immigrants laying out a Thanksgiving table in front of the White House as a reminder of whose hands harvest the food so many families will enjoy over Thanksgiving.
