Schakowsky Optimistic For Immigration Reform
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says she hopes immigration reform will win final passage before the end of August.
Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky says one of her colleagues in the delegation is a key player in that scenario.
"Luis Gutierrez is part of a gang of eight that is working on a bipartisan bill and then we could go to conference and work out perhaps even the best bill, better even than the Senate bill. So, this is a very exciting moment right now," said Schakowsky.
Still, Schakowsky says the legislation isn't perfect but a very good start.
