The description says its about people getting their citizenship in time to vote. I doubt if they would talk about EB, backlogs, and the plight of honest-tax-paying H1B people.

Is there a way to see this program online instead of TV?

I just watched it and its about the citizenship wait!! They talked 500,000 legal latinos not able to vote during this election.

Not sure if anybody can change their attitude towards legal immigrants.

I saw the programme too....It was so stupid of Gonzales! If they are going to take 6 months to find out that a person is terrorist, isn't that stupid! Should'nt they find that out in few hours instead of taking 6 months or for that matter 2-3 years for security clearence! What to say! Just have to live with it!
