Línea Abierta : IMMIGRATION EDITION.




Linea Abierta - English Description - Show in Spanish show

Summary: IMMIGRATION EDITION. Today, the House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing to focus on the KIDS Act, a Republican version of the DREAM Act that would offer legalization for some young immigrants. The House is following a piecemeal, less-than-citizenship approach to immigration reform. An influential Republican leader comments on the prospects for comprehensive immigration reform in a House where the leadership doesn’t show a sense of urgency and won’t allow measures that include a path to citizenship. Guests: Carlos Gutierrez, Chairman, Republicans for Immigration Reform, Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Washington, D.C., http://www.republicansforimmigrationreform.org/ ; Larry Kleinman, Member of Executive Committee, Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM), Woodburn, OR, www.fairimmigration.org
