Congress to Revisit Immigration Reform

Hosted by Warren Olney Apr. 24, 2006
A month after massive pro-immigration demonstrations around the country and just weeks after millions of illegal immigrants filed taxes in hopes of one day becoming citizens, Congress returned to Washington today from its two-week Easter recess.  Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on immigration reform. Congress is considering a wide range of proposals over what to do about the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, from toughening border controls to offering many a chance to become American citizens.  Guest host Diana Nyad gets a preview of the challenge ahead from advocates on both sides of the issue. (An extended version of this discussion originally aired earlier today on To the Point.)Making News:  President Bush Addresses Immigration in the OCPresident Bush wrapped up his four-day trip to California today with a visit to the Orange County Business Council in Irvine.  Political reporter Martin Wisckol covered the event for the Orange County Register.
Guest host Diana Nyad, 2002 inductee into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, is a business sports columnist for Marketplace, senior sports correspondent for Fox News, and has hosted her own show on CNBC. She's also the author of three books.
