Summary: REFORM BILL: ANALYSIS. The group of eight senators, Republican and Democrat, known as the "Gang of 8," introduced immigration reform legislation in the senate. While reform opponents seek to derail the bill through delays, pro reform advocates push for a more generous plan. This program brings news on the first senate hearings, looks into the details of the 844-page bill and discusses the politics around immigration reform. Also, in an exclusive interview with Radio Bilingüe, Republican Congressman David Valadao (CA-21) reveals his support for a potential path to citizenship.
