Senate Begins Debate On Fate Of DREAMers

The Senate voted 97-1 Monday night to start debating immigration, but that sort of overwhelming agreement won’t be seen during the debate itself this week.

Discussion will focus on the fate of young undocumented immigrants, also known as “DREAMers,” as well as border security. Any measure will need significant bipartisan support.

Ed O’Keefe is a congressional reporter with the Washington Post and has been covering the debate. He joins us now.
