bill: you know as we mentioned, tax cuts get a lot of attention in the lame duck session but also there s another issue not getting as much attention as it should, will democrats pass immigration reform or a form of it during the lame duck snetion the bill is known as a dream act, would create a path of citizenship for young illegal imgrants who came here to the u.s. with their parents when they were young children. one of the bill s biggest supporters is illinois democratic congressman luis gutierrez. sir, good morning to you and welcome back to our program, america s newsroom . you talked to the president about this yesterday? just yesterday. bill: what did he tell you about what he would like to see on this? he said that he still believes in comprehensive immigration reform but he understands in the lame duck session, he will be for a
