How Democracy Works Now
Summary
Summer 2002: Once the Border Security Bill is law, Kennedy and Brownback are eager to move back to immigration, but the fight over creation of a Department of Homeland Security eats up the summer. Republicans win the Senate by a landslide in November midterms, and will dominate committees in the next Congress. But immigration is not playing well in Kansas and Brownback is up for reelection. Will one of the Senate's most compassionate advocates decide to give up the Judiciary Committee and chairmanship of the Immigration Sub-committee? *Filmed in Washington D.C., Kansas and Minnesota.*
