Janet Napolitano says immigration reform bill is fair

The U.S. Senate is expected to pass an immigration reform bill later this week.

"It's a big problem; it's been festering in our country a long time - it needs to be addressed."

The bill faces stiff opposition in the Republican-led House, where bipartisan support is harder to come by. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is among the Obama administration officials lobbying for passage of the bill. In this feature interview, she talks with News Director Sally Mauk about the main objections to the immigration reform legislation moving through the Senate.
 

Retired in 2014 but still a presence at MTPR, Sally Mauk is a University of Kansas graduate and former wilderness ranger who has reported on everything from the Legislature to forest fires.
