| Summary: | January, 2006: The House just passed the toughest anti-amnesty, enforcement-only immigration bill in history. Immigrants feel targeted, and 'Sensenbrenner' (the bill's sponsor) becomes a nasty household word for Latinos. Finally the Senate tackles immigration reform. Millions of people take to the streets all over the US, marching until a bipartisan compromise modeled on last year's Kennedy-McCain bill goes to the Senate floor. But leaders in both parties seem to want an election issue, not a bill. Advocates smell a double-cross, and go public with an attack. What will it take for the Senate to respond? *Filmed in Washington, D.C.* |
