(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)

On Tuesday, the bipartisan group of U.S. senators dubbed the “Gang of Eight” unveiled an immigration reform bill that would include a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million people who stay in the U.S. illegally. We talk about the legislation and its controversial proposal that would allow immigrants to become citizens after a 13-year process.

Guests:

Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based research institute that examines the impact of immigration on American society

Laura McGann, deputy managing editor for POLITICO

Cecillia Wang, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project
