NBC spotlights illegal immigration in state
The Denver Business Journal - 3:07 PM MST Tuesday

NBC News said Tuesday it will air an hour-long documentary about illegal immigration in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado.

The network said it spent eight months "reporting on the myths and truths about illegal immigration in this pristine stretch between Aspen and Vail," which has seen an influx of Hispanics, mostly from Mexico.

"Tom Brokaw Reports: In the Shadow of the American Dream" is scheduled to air Dec. 26.
NBC said illegal immigrants are being drawn to the area because of construction jobs.

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is featured in the documentary. Tancredo has been a vocal opponent of illegal immigration.
