Bill Radke talks to Congressman Derek Kilmer about President Trump's announcement that he would consider a government shutdown if he doesn't see a vote on border security. We also talk about the upcoming midterm elections and how to make Congress less partisan.
As Congress moves forward with immigration reform, we take a look at how this issue connects to culture, business and families in the Northwest.Our region is home to a unique blend of immigrants who work in all parts of our economy — from high-tech to agriculture.

And its ranks are expanding rapidly.Proposals for comprehensive immigration reform address border security, employment verification, guest-worker programs and pathway to citizenship for an estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the US.
