Is Immigration Overhaul On America's Doorstep?
A bipartisan group of senators is on the cusp of unveiling a plan for immigration reform. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), one of the so-called "Gang of Eight," talks to host Jacki Lyden about the effort. We also hear from some of the thousands of demonstrators who gathered on the National Mall for a pro-reform rally this past week. NPR's Ted Robins tells us what the economic effect of legalizing 11 million workers could be, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) talks about bringing undocumented workers out of the shadows.
