While Congress prepares to debate the so-called "path to citizenship" for undocumented immigrants, 8.5 million legal permanent residents are in the U.S. and eligible to naturalize. Nearly one-third of them live in California -- but they're not all becoming citizens. Language is a big obstacle.

We stop by a recent kick-off event in Orange County.
