AZ WEEK: Will Congress Pass Immigration Reform?

McSally, pushing legislation; Grijalva wants comprehensive package; McCain seeks to end impasse.

Legislation to increase border security and take steps toward immigration reform is stalled in Congress. Arizona Week takes a look at the issues from the viewpoints of Arizona's congressional delegation.

Interviews with:

  • Rep. Martha McSally, Republican representing the eastern half of Tucson and Pima County and all of Cochise County, which includes a lengthy stretch of the U.S.-Mexican border.

  • Rep. Raul Grijalva, Democrat representing the western half of Tucson and a lengthy stretch of the U.S.-Mexican border from The Cochise County line west to the California line.

  • Sen. John McCain, Republican whose sponsorship of a comprehensive reform package got through the Senate nearly two yars ago but has gotten nowhere in the House.
