Immigration Reform on the Map

Tomorrow night, Nov. 18, communities across Texas will hold "listening parties" to get a sense of the immigration reform legislation about to be proposed by Illinois Rep. Luiz V. Gutierrez.

Perhaps there is enough of a groundswell nationally to finally move the dial on this issue -- one that has been mired in endlessly politicized debate. Already, The New York Times has weighed in and President Obama has said he will make immigration reform a central part of his agenda in 2010.

Stay tuned.
