Tonight, a new Gallup poll reveals only 14 percent of Americans

We’ll have a full report tonight.

Senators Ted Kennedy and Dianne Feinstein held a press
conference today touting the importance of a provision for
illegal alien agricultural workers in the Senate’s immigration
reform bill. Meanwhile Senators Jim DeMint, Chuck Grassley and
David Vitter are held a press conference discussing why the
Senate’s so-called grand compromise will only repeat the
failures of the past. We’ll report on the battle to get the
bill back out on the floor.

And we’ll take a look at the latest developments towards the
creation of a North American Union between the United States,
Mexico and Canada.

We'll also discuss the Senate's grand compromise on immigration
with Senator Claire McCaskill. The Senator says we will never
get a handle on illegal immigration until we hold employers
accountable.
